Project. It was a good price though. I think mk2s look better!

Pretty good I think. Its my first year sprinting and I'm only 5 seconds behind my dad who has been doing it for 7 years. We were double driving his car which was good, apart from I can't get used to his clutch (cerametallic clutch) which has a very binary on/off feel, which I find incredibly hard to get off the line quickly

That's something you'll either pick up or won't haha. Off to a good start though, gratz.

saalright, me and my dad had half an hour of feeling ' ******** have we timed the cam in wrong.. nooo!!' and between him and me theres 50 years of motorsport and garage experience.. everyones a thicko at one point! :P oh well! as long as it was around 15 thou when the right valve was compressed then it should be fine:)

Yup, and plugs were out so there'd be no compression to damage anything anyway :P

Does it have a vernier adjustment on the side? 72 is most likely a 45DM which does not.

it's a 1380 on an stroked crank. Still fairly thin walls but plenty strong enough.
