Plunge and posted a deposit off for this little baby, http://www.clubstylus.be/templates/b300 ... rberus.jpg should pick it up in a week or two, i've also just picked up a 180bhp vauxhall lump with weber alpha throttle bodies and ECU etc, so i might drop that straight in and see what happens.
That's it Phil , your bitten now , soon you'll be changing this and that to suit your own style .

Hi Kev, yes its ready, MOTed it just needs rent then its totally driveable, engine is ahem 1.8 opel manta running twin 40's terribly slow hence the purchase of the vauxhall lump(will bolt straight in), so i now have a week or two sleepless nights til i pick it up.

Hi Rob, i know what you mean already sourcing ally hubs wilwoods etc to take weight out of it, spoke to nathan and he has taken as much weight out of the body work as he can so the rest should be quite easy .

Yes Werner , that's exactly where I came to a halt on my first engine(now Matt's)so had to go and buy a set in socket form -- never needed them since building the second , all new engine in 2000 .

Picked up my engine today, 2.0l VX ecotec would have preferd a red top but this came with a lovely weber alpha gold kit, 45mm throttle bodies and different cams, rolling road report says 185bhp 164 ft/lbs, so not only will it drop on to the manta box it will have twice the power of the old engine, i have spoken to weber and they said i can use these TB's on a duratec just needs a remap and inlet manifold, so i am a happy chappie at the moment.
