Hi everyone,

if your still looking for a cam choice i recommend a kent 266 or a sw5-07 for a 998 fast road. the swiftune is a little cammy for traffic but if your planning a weekend blast car then it will suit. anything up to 276 would be ok but anymore and it will be rough at idle and wont have anypower below 2000 rpm. buy a copy of david vizards tuning bl's a series it will help you loads!

Nice project by the way

chears for the advice! decided to stick with the standard cam for now due to funds but got the vizards book in the post the other day so will be ploughing through that

thanks probably going for world rally blue, but am really tempted by rootbeer brown you will have to wait for the pics

I don't actually have a metro turbo its just the engine from the 1986 piccadilly im afraid, but will be doing a turbo engine build when this project is finished

little update...

borrowed the brothers camera so some better pics of the front subby and angine







cleaned alternator a little



rear high lows



fitting front high lows (had to fabricate part of the cone compressor as i couldn't find it) looks rubbish but does the job nicely



had a slight problem with rubber cone where it wasnt sitting properly and has bent the metal insert must have been like this since i owned the car. will get the cone out and see if the damage is repairable if not will have to buy a new set



front driver side is ready though



also to do on the rear end is clean and paint up suspension arms and sub mounts



copper brake lines





bushes
