What happened to all this 2.0 and LET lark being poop and loving the 1.6....
See, told you you'd want a bigger engine sooner or later 
Make me a nice offer for D4's lump 
Corb, in bits again????????? Clutch replaced yet?
Im gonna come up to PVS this weekend in the Astra so will probably bump into you up there.

Fast as poss for as little money? Well your old spec kept with mine to 50-60 odd, you've got less weight and a bit more power now. You know 2.0's arn't "fast" anyway. You'll need a LET to go quick, but you know how much they cost 
Engines fine, a little tappy (probably more-so now after standing for a year), but mechanical wise its spot on...
Probably needs a service, taking out and cleaning up a little, and the air feed put back on the viper.
Im really finding it hard to want to spend any money on it now, esp after driving the astra

I'll take you out in it james. Might call you later on if I pick it up and poss. take you for a drive in it.
Daimo, its having that helix stuff put on at the moment, but lee's found the source of a bloody great oil leak in the box, there was a seal/gasket/o-ring or something missing on the box shaft/release bearing area, and there was oil everywhere! He's currently hunting like a mad man, inbetween sorting out ollies to find something to fit in there!
