Because i can afford to do it now. and i still miss having a fiesta... and would you believe it - the veedub scene isnt all its cracked up to be, everythings double the money and double the effort!


anyway, cba with a big update on how good my car is going to be.

ive bought another 1.4 valver engine (100bhp, where my is a mapped 75bhp) and full service kit. two head gaskets and im getting a 2mm decomp plate made up.

anyone guess whats happening?

dvla came knocking again - told me i dont have a ford so they're towing it :lol: :wink:

yeah you're on the money, as ive got the bug for more power and its the easiest/funnest way of doing it, got inspiration from a guy on clubpolo who had it done, used an eaton m45 with megasquirt on standard internals and got 180bhp with a set of cams.



Que the "no youre not, you'll f**k it" "you're stupid" "omg, you'll never do it" comments.

if it turns out to be too much im just gonna drop the other engine in and have it as 100bhp as its a straight swap with the ecu...
