Surely this has gotta be 4wd with that power. Its bad enough at 180 let alone 600bhp!

these came today, i contacted Gaz direct for some universal ones same length, same springs and it was alot more expensive so i bought these with a 10% discount offer they had and it was only like £160 delivered or something *happy* so i will sort the top hat bit to be in the centre i think and leave the bottom how it is

rather annoyingly the engine i was buying, well the deal fell through ( bloke sold it to someone after agree ing the sale and pick up date with me,) thankfully no cash lost...
a couple days later another gem ( way too cheep ) turned up on ebay B18c4 low mile and box with loom and chipped and mapped ecu *happy* picked it up yesterday..
this engine is an unmolested specimen (the other was running with Darton sleeves bored and stroked to 1.95l forged everything valved and cammed too and running 630bhp @1.5bar 9500rpm)
and that is everything i am planning for my mini and more so it was a large kick in the teeth to loose it *angry*

well i said it would have to go and today it happened
