Yup congrats m8ey! Top work!
How much did the insurance go up with the new engine? or is it insured as a GSi now?

it went up £140 from now till renewal in july
overall its gone up buy bout £200 a year
cheers for the comments
jr yours will be quicker
ive fixed the exzorst, ive undersealed the floorpan, removed the old batterey clamps, tidyed up the wiring loom and refitted the cold air feeds
tomorow ill give it a wash and flush the engine and change the oil
it is fast but it sounds unbeliveable
marc says it saound like a scooby-just w/out the turbo of course
