@captainpegs07 No need to be honest, it was metal enough as it was. Car has sadly now been broken up, but the engine is going into a mate's Mk4 Bonus.

thinking of doing a 1.8 silvertop zetec, port the head,piper ulti road cams,gsxr 750 bodies,emerald managment,straight through exhaust,light flywheel, sport clutch, onmy mk4 cabby hoping to crack 200bhp +,was gona go turbo and build for 400bhp but i dont want to have to rebuild the engine with forged pistons ect, also not sure how much power can be had from the 1.8 zetec with turbo setup, st170 engine jesus that must fly there brilliant engines, bet the webber itb kit set you back a few quid

[SecretFan]

I need to upload a new one, it's much louder with the ST170 engine and bodies now!

[jimmy629709]

thank you for your reply mate.

[SecretFan]

@jimmy629709... cheers mate. It managed 138 MPH recorded with GPS on the German Autobahns repeatedly on flat sections. No idea about 0-60, but I'll be sure to give it a go on the quarter mile someday.

Yeah it's practical enough for daily use, just bloody noisy with all the induction roar! My hearing has suffered!

[jimmy629709]

[djmhyde]

Proper tb's, must be such a laugh in an estate. Are they 45's?

Sure are. Great fun, especially as it's a 5 door!
