Picked it up just over a week ago.. Currently thinking of breaking it (Not sold anything from it yet) As I am in 2 minds to finish off or not as I really don't have the time.
The reason I bought it was to use it as a fast road car and do some track days with it.
Doesn't need much to finish and the work done by the previous owner has been done to a good standard.
Its also quite good spec.
Only covered 38,000 miles,
Brand new set of jenvey 45 throttle bodies with 60mm trumpets,
Omex ecu with custom made loom,
Brand new piper fast road cams (Not re profiled) with brand new vernier pulleys purchased from Courtenay Sport,
Adjustable FPR,
ARP con rod bolts,
Lightened and balanced fly wheel from auto sprint,
Brand new clutch,
New head gasket, water pump, cam belt and tensioners,
Willwood 4 pot calliper's with green stuff pads,
Braided brake lines,
New lowering springs,
Cesaro alloys,
Brand new John Ashley manifold 4 branch manifold,
Brand new Birchills performance stainless exhaust from manifold back,
Irmscher rear lights,
Polished covers
Polished strut brace,
Sport interior,
Omp steering wheel with snap off boss,
Tx autosport multi groove alloy pulley,
Wind deflectors,
Moulded flaps.










Just looking for a bit of enthusiasm to finish it as opposed to breaking it.

If you dont have the enthusiasm to finish it after that spec then I'd break it tbh.

All the work so far has been done by the previous owner, Its just the shit weather since ive some back from my honeymoon that's getting me down.
I have plans for the engine if I carry on with it to make it the same power as my other 2.1 C20xe that's pushing 225 bhp.
Here she is..

That's under my stairs wrapped up in sheets. Never been ran since being built.
I will build this one to the same spec if I keep it, using 88mm omega pistons and steel rods the same as my other engine.

Just needs throttle cable, Mapping, front seats fixing in, a good battery, wind deflector fitting (Its in the car) 1 mud flap fitting (Its in the car) Mot and Tax. Think that's about it.
Its on lowering springs, But personally I think it will need coil overs (Although not driven it).
