Xsi is staying, but having a '6 engine maybe, I've got a new exhaust to go on, it's a '6 manifold '6 exhaust and another system, looks good. Not many things I've looked into yet tbh may see of the gti cams would fit and run okay

Gti cams will make it run like shit. If you can remap it to match though then it will be fine!

High boost gti6??? Nah haha


Cheers mate. Hopefully will be starting the respray soon, as because I've known about respraying I've not been fussed about bumping things(mainly trolleys around carparks) so have beaten bumpers, keying down either side bent arch, little dents in door and both wings. It's not much to look at close up, but from a reasonable distance or in the dark looks fapping epic. Going to get the angle grinder out and cut my rear arches down. Going to space out the rear wheels by another 5mm so bringing it to 25mm rear Big Grin

Cannot wait to get this started now Big Grin

Don't cut the arches, it will weaken them. Just roll them!

Fair play bud, will get it sorted today then. Smile

Won't weaken the arches much if it's done right, put a lip on it and some weld in the right places, she'll be reet.

Right picked up a recently refurbished xsi head and engine mount from poodle today. Going to strip the head back, give it a skim and pressure test, re fit.
Then I need to buy all the relevant gaskets, spark plugs and a water pump and cambelt tensioner, then I'm ready to take my engine apart for my rebuild project in the summer Smile
This will be updated with pictures as soon as I get a bloody wifi signal!!

Matt I'm doing exactly the same at the moment. Take a look at my progress blog and keep an eye over the next month. New head should be on by end of march Smile
