Just pulled my ad from carpoint as I have decided to keep it for how long who knows. All I know Ill have it long engough that I will continue to mod it.

For those of you who were interested in buying. Sorry. You should have confronted me with an offer while my mind was weak.

Cheers

PS. You bludges made me feel guilty about selling it too.

Well I can tell you the next installment is going to be new springs and shocks all round. Lower of course. It is also going to get a diff uprgrade to a 120y borgwarner. Redo the interior.And then possibly another engine. Yes I know my new one has only done 8000kms but I need speed. Satisfied for the moment with the a14 with twin su's,extrators, light head work, 25/65 cam and high comp pistons which I plan to upgrade to an a15 crank in a14 block to keep it legal then extensive head work, full balancing, lightened flywheel and a big cam. Dont give a rats how streetable it is as long as its fun. and I should get away with it for under a grand.

The head will cost you a grand for anything that will give decent horse power

Ever thought of any forced induction? A small(ish) blower or turbo set up could be done easily for under a 1k and would be tons of fun as most plp would tell you! SOO many plp have info on this stuff....or go one better than 1200rallycar and fulfill the A15TTTT set up lol

Or you could REALLY look and try and find some A series injection now that would be cool.....but expensive
But if expenisves the go then get a set of 4 Keihin, Mikuini or the alike motobike carbs! oooo their sexy and fun
If the enging swap is on, gona stay with the A series? surley, A all the way!

I could say more but money sux....

Good to hear what the next 'stage' is!

Yes it will still definately be an a-series. Might stick with the a14 or upgrade the a14 with an a15 crank so it still looks legal. Im not into turboing or supercharging. Yes it would be great and tons of fun but I would still like to have insurance and for a young bloke like me unless you dont tell them about it insurance will pay the car off in two years.
