That's good news then. Stacking up parts in my spare room at the mo.

I've got plans for this car. I'm more focusing on the handling aspects but wouldnt mind getting a modest 350bhp out of it.

ECU wise I'll be getting rid of shem and the Rica map. Then going for a g4 link ecu

Drill the head off, remove top half of the housing and then then use stud extractor or just like grips to remove the headless bolts.
