Pete what happened to your engine? Will it be ready for Oultwell?
Yes Craig has promised. well strongly hinted.
One of the pistons acquired a hole. That is to say an extra hole.

(Although I'm negotiating to buy Stu's 2-11 at the moment and between you and me it's going rather well so I'll probably have that by then.)

You're bang on Neil, I've ticked almost all the boxes and got a bit carried away.

After a wee re-think of what I could add later if all is going well I've chopped over £4k off the price.
I can do without the screen and roof, the uprated brakes and suspension can come later if needed.
I'd stick with the S though as the standard car has very little scope for tuning, it's already fairly well worked upon to take the motor to 200bhp. The S motor is exactly as it is in the Focus ST.

So I've chopped the options back to heated passenger seat, xenon lights and dry sump system.

Thanks for the input :thumbsup

Quick question:

On the options list you can upgrade from four point to six point harnesses for £80.

I don't really know anything about either, is it worth paying the extra? What's the pros / cons?


Cheers,

Kenny

If you crash with a 4 you might submarine.

If you crash with a 6 you'll not submarine but might have some very sore baws.
