Rebuilt the engine with added oomph - hopefully...
Have changed the headers for later type, changed the 2 G cams that was inlet for A cams
ditched the SAI system, removed the bit of exhaust downpipes that needed removing, removed the AC pump only to find that the shorter belt I have, is too ruddy short, so will need to re-install the AC pump LOL
Had to completely remove the exhaust system, which in itself is a task as its an all-in-one system with no joins, so is a bit of an effort to get it off the car.... should be interesting tomorrow when I come to put it back on...
Am awaiting another radiator as a replacement for the 1 that wa bough new t'other week but has burst, so even if it was ready to start, I won't be able to coz the oil pump would just spray oil everywhere.... so its now a waiting game...
I wouldn't mind but we're supposed to be going away next weekend, looks like we'll be going in my classic Mini instead... that gonna be a wild ride LOL
