antz Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 long story short... its still in bits i ran outta money to continue on with it over the summer months and ran out of confidence to build it myself so sent the lot off to a mate of mine who is goig to build it for me. but its being done on an as and when basis to keep costs down. hence nothing has bene done cos he has been busy. but now its coming up for winter is rapidly working its way up his to-do list and will be sgtrated in the not too distant future so there arent any HUGE UPDATES on it but its now got 1/2 of an engine stand bolted to one end and it will be finished by next springs and slotted into the car so its ready to go! i still keep buyin shit for it though got a 1600 sport box sat in my garage and a few other and sods just keep thinkign weather to keep the 234 cam i got or go for a 244 instead
antz Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 244 all the way mate thats the thing. i havea brand new 234 kit which i got cheap. but i keep thinking IF ONLY I WENT FOR THE 244 but thatl make town driving a right bitch. and i like town driving

fezza Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Antz,a 244 with a set of well balanced and set up carbs will run fine even for round the town driving imo AND if then you decide further down the line you want to ''spec up'' the engine then you already have a decent cam to be getting on with,if you use the 234 and then at a later date decide you want bigger and better,its an engine out and take to pieces job 244
