yeah it should be there, even if it kills me or i have to trailer the bugger.


yeah my iphone but its nearly dead keep having to take it apart.

had a few issues with it like because of the dry decking kit its effecting my engine steadie.

the 2 extra bolts in the block for 11 stud are ever so slightly out and looks like to run with the 2 extra studs im gonna have to gentily drill out the head a tiny bit, as there just catching which stops the head sitting on the block.

its been a right pain in the back side this head.

Sounds good, I'll come and have a nosey at riv run.

Regarding the cage, it's up to you, is it a full cage or rear or what? I like the way it stiffened up my car, but hate the way it cramps the cabin.

[danny1]

its a full cage with door bars and a harness bar fitted,

yeah im really lookign forward to riv now
