Wouldn't like to openly slate someone but if he hasn't put your new gasket on chances are it wasn't filled with antifreeze

Cars are like a money pit!

HAA my bad! :oops:

for a sec there i thought we were all crying about a cracked vtr block

bad times mate

It's kl man.

Major bad times, cars back on 5th may cant wait.

Bank balance = £0 lol

Shiny bits are always a winner ;)

What you hopIng for? 180+?

Yea about 180bhp-190bhp.

Getting Clio 182 injectors as well. :)

Can't wait to see this once your done mate. Such a shame at what happened from Ricky rpm.

Cheers mate, hopefully I can make it to a meet for once becasue the car won't in the garage. :)

Would love to do a tunnel run with this engine!

Some good work gone into this, nice to see you havent just given up with it, although i can imagine you felt like it at times lol. Id like to do something like this with my car but i cant justify the ballache and cost, i fully understand its nice to have a personalised car. Id sooner buy a clio 182 straight out and fit cams to it with other breathing mods and see 200bhp on that, but then again im a mechanic myself and the last thing i want to do when i get home from a 12hr day is work on my car lol. Good work though,il be keeping my eye on this :y:
