No not great, still not 100%. Most likely too much power for stock pistons, and possibly detonation as upper con rod shells were showing signs of wear.

Good news is the block is ok and the oil pick up looks brand new, so no oil starvation issues. Only been off the road a week and I'm itching to get back driving it haha

Really easy to do, just plug and play. You only need to swap the wiring if you're not fussed about the memory function working.

I'll be selling mine soon

Yeah can't wait to get it up and running. Should be today/tomorrow hopefully. Engine is in and most of the loom connected. Just doing bits when I can

Looks smart with the satnav, is yours not a facelift model as it's got the bigger mfd instrument panel? That's what I'd like for mine as you can get the polar fis for it which is awesome!

The pre facelifts came with small and large mfd's. Mine and my brothers both have large mfd's.
