I was hoping to see more pics of your new Maser if you can post some as well as the engine build.

I have better things to do than build engines.

So why did your engine fail ? Your thread was a bit inconclusive. You modded it and then it went kaboom ....or something like that ?

Confusing, i thought you were building an engine. Good luck Sy with the fi project.

I think your LONDON supercharger kit will be awesome.

having not had sound in my car for 18 months....i now have sound!
sadly won't be supercharging as swiftly as planned as my wife made me drop £7k+ in BMW performance extras on her new 335i saloon.....mainly because she found out i might be supercharging mine.
