36 pages long, but well worth a skim read - it's sooooooo funny!


To summarise just a host of the fails, he has:

- Drilled the throttle body, thinking it was the airbox.
Posted Image

- Replaced the t'body, and driven with no filter.

- Smoothed the boot lock, and literally just rammed it inch-thick with filler
Posted Image

- Installed a PS2, via mains inverter.
Posted Image

- Run 2 HU's
Posted Image

- Painted his dampers, steering arm and driveshafts
Posted Image

- Sprayed the engine... literally - rocker cover, block, HT leads, exhaust manifold and all.
Posted Image

- Wet+dry'd his rear windscreen
Posted Image

Done some very good front-end welding. No it's not straight. Yes, that is a "strengthening bar" behind.
Posted Image

Made some kinda A-frame rear strut brace......
Posted Image

......held together with 2 small bolts.
Posted Image

Put his tyres on the wrong way round
Posted Image

Moved the screen-

Oh, and he's not insured. Nonce. Can I get an eepppiiiiiiccccc fail!

X16XE on throttle bodies ... I'd take a stab at 140bhp?

sbd cams, forged pistons, steel rods, mbe management, lightened and balenced crank, injectors the size of your house. about 200bhp. was rolling roaded at 180 but was burning at bit of oil but we sorted that and improved alot. hard to keep on the road though.
