SRowells Diablo 1.8 - Jenvey 45s & OMEX600

[Eeyore]

I can handle the spanners but its putting them in the right place . For something done in 1 weekend on a back street in east London with no mains electricity, no lighting and as Niall says limited experience I think its gone very well. I had never touched an aux belt or any pumps etc before this weekend. It was only 3 weekends ago I was swapping brakes and brake lines for the first time!

The bodies and the ECU are the main cost but they hold their value fairly well and can always be reused for another XU 306.

The reason I have done this to a 1.8 is that I already had the car and everything bar the engine is how I want it. The engine is also a lot lighter than the XU10 block which should mean that it handles better. It handled fantastically on track.

I'm only 21 so any decent engine mods have only just become affordable insurance wise. If I wanted something powerful I would be running a 106 NAD for a few months until I could buy an evo 9. But then I wouldn't have a 306 to tinker with where it doesnt matter if I try something and it goes wrong.
