Looks really good mate, can't wait to see this on the road now.

Disagree with the people saying 16v is much better. You can get decent power from the 8v engine an its always good to be different. I've seen 170-180bhp 8v's used in road rallies and they don't need rebuilding or anything, just the same as any other performance car such as a 16v on bodies. Ok, it did have a quaife gearset but oh my it shifted, more so than a 170bhp saxo on bodies I've been in - and even that had an s1 box.

Don't underestimate an 8v is all I'm saying as they can surprise quite a few people!
