a few changes, new wheels, got some black cav gsi rims as the 17's were to big for the astra and wanted cheaper tyres again.

and the engine has gone black, and its has been rebuilt twice in the past 2 months after the initial rebuild, all was going fine till a ring decided to snap and much the bore.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jamie.fisher/randomstuff/oops.jpg
and with the rebuild the CR has gone to about 11.8:1 :D

thats about it for the mo, new cage and exhaust in the next few months hopefully.

fantastic looking car mate!!! exhaust looks cheap tho? what one is it?

jamie_f
20-12-2005, 11:08 PM
the oil coller fittings of the swandwhich plate are just ones from pirtek, just took the plate and bolts down and the found one that fitted preoperly, the have ribbed fittings and had double clips on the so they aint gonna leak, well they have been on there for about 4 months now and they have been fine.

as for the exhaust its a custom made one, i just wanted somthing simple so the pipes arent polished, just normal satin finsh pipes.

Ah right, I need to do something similar o mine so I move the rad further forward, its a bit to close the turbo for my liking lol
