Rattrays paint was spot on, the spraypainter could've been better though

No need to thank me bud its what this forum is all about. Looking good to, bet you feel even better doing the jobs yourself, I know I do when I manage it which aint often

So true but its a bitch when it goes wrong and the only one to shout at is yourself

And the other side, starting to fall in love again

Ok so she looks a bit different but that 2ltr lump that gets its ass handed to it by a clio needs to go, so options on which H22 suits the existing gearbox and can be increased in bhp to around 240.

Should do what I was thinking before my 2.0 got written off.......turbo it. Be probably the only turbo'd 2.0 5th gen in the country

Hi Rob, I did think about it and the guys on the forum suggested it , however I can pick up a H22a5 for £300 and get it fitted for a couple of hundred . Turbos seem to be very expensive well for a good one anyway and Im not sure what Id get out of her from a base of 133bhp. Plus i do like vtec, however I am open to being converted.

Forget the a5, h22a/a7/a8 are the better options.

newkid I agree had a8 in last lude magic engine but the a5 at that sort of money is a start , but I agree I could do more with the other options.

Update on the rusty lock. After quotes of !50 upwards I decided to try a repair myself, it could be better but it will do just know.
