sambo Posted April 30, 2009 Author Report Posted April 30, 2009 Great stuff, thanks Toby. Thats exactly what i needed. I have bought it now to replace my N/A cossie and have had a closer look. 45's, big valves, GTS3 cam, HUGE ports. The previous owners claim of 190bhp doesnt look as doubtfull as i first thought!! thanks again.
qwerty Posted April 30, 2009 Report Posted April 30, 2009 Thanks Toby for that article!! Very interesting reading. Especially as I'll have a 1600 block soon!
sambo Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Posted May 1, 2009 speaking to the previous owner, he said that it is a right animal. Town driving is out of the question really as its very peaky! i cant wait!
