Hi all been on here about a year now never really got round to introducing myself but better late than never ..

My names Ryan i bought a 2003 factory built Tiger cat fitted with a 1.8 zetec last Jan. I didn't like the color but went to look at it anyway and still bought it i now like it tho its certainly different ..

After a summer of people asking me if id built it i thought id have a go at an engine change so i could at least say i did something...

I swapped from the 1.8 on twin 40's to a 2.0 blacktop on bike tb's which made 187 hp 158 torque in the end with the help of people on here . Sounds a simple swap but i am no mechanic ....

2.0 blacktop (crate)
285 piper cams
ARP bolts
Gsxr srad 750 tb's
st170 inlet injectors
standard zetec fuel rail
lightened flywheel
mega-squirt 2 v3 ecu
turbosport verniers
chopped/welded and baffled sump..


So heres 2 pics when i bought it and a few as it is now the current pics (Bar the last one) are on my phone so not as good quality but you can see the changes ... Would like to know what people think and hope to meet a few of you ..

When i got it










Now

bang tidy

very tidy looking motor..

That is one huge fan

Nowt wrong with "Invacar blue"

Very nice car

I think you did really well to get that fan under the nose cone!!

Nice job though, it looks really clean

is it turbine powered!!

Front mudguards chnge colour, neat!

Very nice job,

Really like the protectors on the rear wings they fit lovely, also exhaust looks cool.
