And because a chav said "Nice Saxo"
It was a bloke in the shell petrol station that said that !! knew his cars well
and the big fat intercooler sticking out the front bumper
It's not so obvious at the moment as the plates covering it again

Well seeing that 2009 is underway i thought i'd start the year off with a new purchase (Thanks to Bill for sorting them out for me 
)
Plans for this year are to replace the rods, fit a baffled sump, high flow manifold, 3" down pipe and maybe a custom tip aswell and then get the boost wound up and see what the hybrid can really do.
I'm collecting parts for it all at the moment but hope to have it all done fitted and running ready for the bhp show & Lydden in may (funds allowing)

I don't think the bank balance agree's but i'm sure some overtime @ Midnight Motors will help
Aslong as i can break the 300 bhp barrier i think i'll be happy, rods are for peace of mind really and i wanted to pull the engine apart and have a nose inside so this gives me a good excuess

Finally it meets the rollers
Well after guessing the power output of the car since the K04 hybrid was fitted i decided it was time to get it on the rollers and get some sort of idea of the power it's putting out.
Sunday saw a trip to AmD in Essex for a rolling road session, results were not as expected but it gives me a base figure to build on.
1st run saw 246.6bhp & 257 lb/ft
2nd run saw 241.1bhp & 259.1 lb/ft
This coming weekend will see the car in pieces yet again and over the next month or so i'll be adding some new toys in preperation for more power
Cheers to flash for the pics

Yeah, i'm not overly fussed as i know how quick it is on track and once the internals are done it means i've possibly got another 50+bhp to release from it
Yeah, i've got rods, pistons and valves going in (overkill on a K04 hybrid but good ground for future turbo's ) waiting on high flow mani and 3" downpipe and then i'll hopefully be paying Bill a visit to let him work his magic on it

So was i mate, i know it goes well on road and track so i'm happy, and the potential grin factor is even bigger
Hows yours going now anyway, anymore plans bar the mani when there eventually made

It was only a matter of time
I'm in the same boat with the manifold, don't want the car mapped again untill it's fitted along with the new downpipe so will have to keep playing the waiting game, will be interesting to see what it does when it's all done though
