i agree with what you said alex about the extended fronts i aloslike the clubby front but prefer the roundnose one

quite a few mixture of cars there mark some good some bad, have you ever driven a saxo

Nope I've been in my mates stripped out VTS, that's a pocket rocket, never driven it though, he won't let me Oh I forgot BMW 316 and Mazda MX5 on my list too haha.

well atleast you know saxos are fun lol but you have got quite a good list of cars there

[Marky Tizz]

Just remembered Renault Clio Sport, Peugeout 207 GTi (the new one), Ford Mondeo 2litre turbo diesel estate, sideways around Tescos roundabout haha that was fun Couple of different vans at work as well, my favourite is the Peugeuot turbo diesel.

I'm hoping to go X16XE in the summer. The fact I can keep a standard length round nose is a big swaying factor. Also, the engine is cheap, reliable, not too noisy, and economical too.

[Liam-Taylor]

the x16xe seems like a good engine to go for so far

[alexcrosse]

why does everyone say x16xe? its crap compared to the c16xe

[Ouster]

You're right actually...once again my lack of reading skills comes back to haunt me

[alexcrosse]

gonna get the head off the engine tonight, and get it ready for skimming ordered an innovate wideband setup today too... now rather broke

[Liam-Taylor]

gtood luck with that mate yes i also meant c16xe

[Ouster]

Actually, looking back at it...why is the c16xe so much better than the x16xe?

[alexcrosse]

ports, lack of EGR, and on the std engine - injection

[Marky Tizz]

EGR?

[Liam-Taylor]

Exhaust gas recirculation

[Marky Tizz]

hmmm interesting night in the garage, gonna port the living hell into the head tomorrow i think, took the C16XE inlet off the other day and noticed today it has a recirc on for egr, so its a x16 head, so... die grinder oclock. all the rest looks mint, bores and everything. On the bright side.. the engine was £60... so who cares =p lol.
