Quarter-Life-Crisis Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Absolutely amazingly fantastically stunningly bloody sumptiously gorgeous, about time there was focus on a hatch again. Hatches Rule! Did those trousers fit 3 years ago when you started?[] Seriously though, mine looks from the pictures very similar to yours - parked up in the middle of nowhere with the bonnet open.[] And in the last picture is see you have run over the little creature from the n-power adverts, hows his blue gas mate going to cope on his own?

mickappy Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 theres always something you can do. a cars never done. a quick update. most of you will of seen this at billing, since then ive added some rather nice revolution alloys. (cheers craig) also i was lucky enough to get an r1 carb set up for my xe. omoc member 5918 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickappy Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 thought id see if my measuring was right and see if the r1 carbs and manifold would fit with out moving the servo. perfect fit even with the K and N filters. now i know it all fits with no bother im intending to pull the engine out and rebuild it with 288 degree cams, lightend and balanced bottom end with arp bolts, rebord to 86.5mm and some headwork. that should see around 200bhp before the nos[] cant wait[] omoc member 5918 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
