Bouldy: Yes please as i want to put it up on the MK Owners Club site!
ayoungman: i'm out there now having a good tidy up and sweep up, just popped into my office to check email
Hellfire: They are special BEC ones to keep the weight down, bit floppy though To be honest i need to keep the film on as i keep dropping them on
the floor
Jim: Not yet. I want to finnish the car before i apply for test. I will order the paperwork this week though, get me started!!

From what i have heard about the difficulties with your S2000 install you are probably right!
Hope to be on the road (SVA'd at least) in March before i pop off to Florida for 2 weeks.

If it looks half as good as yours i'll be a very happy bunny! I have been using yours as a sort of bench mark so with any luck it will turn out
great!

Women love knobs!!
Anyway you can bloody talk!! £3k on and engine and it's still in bits!
Plus mine was free so may as well use it. I was going to do an upgrade next winter anyway so this freebie made my decision!
P.S. Love you too sweetie!

Andy,
My block is now together and the head has had its valves lapped so is ready for me to fit the springs, fit the cams and it's very nearly
done.
You already had 2x zetecs (which you bought) as I understood it which you sold for a loss. this was after you ordered a bike engine, paid for it, then
cancelled the order and got you money back.
You said the zetec would cost £1500 to install so you spent £500 odd on a recon pinto, now you're on about putting a zetec in it again?
In between I've seen you mention a 4-age as an upgrade path aswell!!
I'd love to know what goes on in your head.
I don't care as its your car, just seems an odd route of engine choice and expenditure of funds.
and I'm bitter cos your car will be finished before mine and i chose that colour before you even finished your first indy!!
maybe you'll have sold this one aswell before mine is finished 
Ned.
beware, I've got yellow skin
