After the clutch desintegrated I decided to take the engine out rather than the gearbox to fit the new clutch. I sent a head of for porting, flowing and skimming and decided that I have a 1242 block sitting in my work shop for far to long.
Being lazy I decided to keep the 30mm throttle body and the standard exhaust minus a Supersprint backbox and a spacer for clearing the standard manifold/downpipe.
Otherwise it has got only the GSR induction and a custum chip. The result was quite good. 82bhp on the flywheel and 69lb ft on the wheels. It feels more like a car now.
Next step is to get the injection converted to MPI.
