The GTi, that is.
A few niggles left to work my way through in my spare time over the next week or so, but it's moved quite happily under its own steam today.
And by f*ck, does it go when the VTEC kicks in. ;)

Let's have some pics of the engine bay :D What exhaust are you running? Vtec sounds great with a good stainless. I followed an MG ZT V8 out of Filey today, damn it sounded NICE. Then a TVR Sagaris in the village pulled out in front of me, then did a tyre smoking U turn round some bollards! Black it was, with black wheels.... Happily I got both of these things on my phone cam :) Then a chavvy Cinq. sporting with big wheels tried to race me from the Humber Bridge toll both. I gave him a fighting chance and allowed him to remain along side for a little while... ;)
Dan, best get the video hosted then... :)
All in good time - it's a mess under there at the mo. ;-)
A stainless one off Powerflow pipe - bought it with the engine.
Given it was off a track car, it had to meet certain noise regs, but it's basically a straight through pipe to the back box, which then has a single
2.5" rolled tailpipe.
Aye... it has a nice raspy bark to it.
Some jobby looking Ibiza got up behind me twice last night... both times, left him for dead. :-D

Big wheels on a Cinq... that would be 13 inchers then ? :)
And 155 tyres ;)
Justin.
Good work!! Any pics/vids? Would love a go in that if you're passing Southampton at any time :)
Talking of engine swaps, I've now got a 2.3 redblock sitting in the boot of the Volvo :D
All in good time - it's nowhere near finished yet - I think the engine may have been lifted by the inlet manifold prior to me getting it, as it's developed a big water leak from that for example.
Once everything is sorted, I'll get some footage sorted. :)
I'm sure there will be a meet of some description in the near future of the mods group, so I'll bring it along then.
If anyone else is thinking of JAE'ing, I reckon that could be a good place for UKRCM to have a meet.
Oh.... dear.
Go on then - explain what the intention is, as if I can't guess. ;-)
Anyone else done that one yet?
-- JackH
Might well be there, depends on the date
2.3 lump from a 940 plus a k-cam from an R-Sport 343 plus Megasquirt :)Been done a few times before. I know of at least one guy in Sweden as he's been giving advice about it!
