btw,, the engine is what ill be doing last(if it lasts that long) due to the fact that i am hopeing to rebuild it myself so ill wanna know every option available before i start and which option will suit me best for what i wanna achieve, dont wanna be too greedy, im hopeing to reach approx 350bhp but using components that will take a bit more if i later decide i want more, wink, wink. off the top of my head at the mo, the problems with engine are piston slap, and a slight bigend knock, small oil leak somewhere around the turbo area as i can see and smell a faint trace of smoke from under the bonnet, and the power steering pump is on its last legs i think as it whines its head off under pressure. was quite amusing actually when i bought it and was driving back, i came to a stop at some traffic lights and you could see a faint haze of smoke coming out of the intercooler vent on the bonnet and i sat there thinking for f**k sake not now ive got 70 f*****g miles to go yet.
