After a painfull nearly 4 months and allot of money (aint had bill yet) my engine was finally finshed today!!!!!
Just got back from a 140mile trev to strt the running in procedure, its running sweet, didnt know a GSI engine could idle so quietly, lol,
Havnt taken it above 4000RPM yet and taking it easy but as the miles go on i could almost feel the engine loosenin up, it really wanted to go, i carnt wait till its run in now!!!
So no more moaning i am happy at last, just gotta sort my skirts and rear bumper now

Im hoping for 150+BHP gonna get it on the rollers after 1000miles to be safe see what the baby can do, anything over 145 i will be chuffed with any less will be a dissapintment, there are a couple of C16XE's with less done that have pulled 160BHP+ so we wil have to see, every engine is different
