You took me too literally mate.
Mine starts first time, but I dare suggest that it would not do 200k miles without much incident.... a porsche 911 turbo could. That was what I was really trying to get at.

right its been a while a long while since i've updated this thread, so i think its about time i let you see what i've been up to.
annd its not much! the block is built up and all parts apart from my fuel rails are waiting to be fitted. i've purchased myself a after market steering wheel and boss. apart from that im struggling to get things together.
i cant find any side feed fuel rails that are in my price range so im having a go and moding my standard ones.
im attempting to weld on a -6 fitting to the ends of the standard fuel rail. im hoping to end up with some thing like this.
standard fuel rails in the vice now cutting the ends to create the area to weld the AN-6 fixing
this is what they look like so far. i am yet to tidy up the welds etc this will be my next job
i im also trying to clean my inlet manifold but struggling to get it clean any tips? i was going to use gunk? good idea or bad

Haven't done much as I have been collecting parts, moving, and preparing for my son to be born.
I got the engine complete and back in the hole. sorted fuel lines etc. Everything was complete then I noticed the coolant was leaking from the water pump. So that is in the process of being replaced.

ok i have finally got my car running. however, i still have a oil leak to sort out. i have Tim from sub-bus coming to sort it out for me on the 12th of april. annoyingly i haven't been able to map the car due to my oil leak. sorry simon @ JGM will book again when sorted.
let me know what you think. (im removing the red mud flaps)
and the reason why i need a quieter exhaust

Aye thought it might have been... im not too worried about mine as its only a small amount, and i bet its gonna be a right pain in the **** to fix... so I'm not worrying about it much at the moment.

its the cam seal cover i've been told. so its off with the rad cam belt and all the other bites to get to it. but i must get this done need to get it mapped and i hate the smell. plus there is the small risk fire

ok lads need a bit of advice. im thinking of doing some body work to my car as my rear arches have seen better days.
now i have aways'd fancied the HT Autos 4door 22b kit however, ABW's arch extension are calling. the only problem i can see with the arch extensions is i think i will have to change my front bumper? and possibly facelift it?
opinions are very welcome so don't be shy.
thanks T
