998's are all good, but i didn't do it for the same reasons as pie's 998. I did it as a quick, cheap way to get a nice revvy motor and have a little experiment with, it was never the intention to keep it. I've always been a fan of revvy motors rather than torquey ones plus i've always been the kind of person who likes to do things a bit differently - as you may be able to tell by know - hense why i'm not a fan of the ever popular 1380 - everyone's got one, and i don't want to be everyone

U'll find most cooper S blocks have been bored or lined at some point in their life by now, and if they havent, expect to pay silly money. I watched one go on ebay for £600 i think!! Its the same with the cranks, a crank thats on a 20thou regrind will go for £100 if that, but an unground crank will go for nearer £350!!

Its all these damn autograss boys, stealing all the good stuff so they can thrash it around a field for a few laps - personally i dont get the apeal, but, each to their own.....

Plus the bigger the bores, the bigger the bore to stroke ratio, so frees up more revs

:D Well, thanks to the chap who suggested using the prybar on the top arm bearing (soz i forgot ur name, and i canne find the post - but i owe you a drink ) Got the bearings out!! new ones also arrived today so put them and painted the arm up. Whilst that ones been drying i've been assembling the other side, i got copper and LM grease everywhere, but got it all together eventually had the bottom arms wound out really far so at the moment i've got some hardcore camber going on ive acctually got the back brakets wound up too, the the effect doesnt look as spectacular Should all be back on its wheels tomorrow also got fiberglass and wires arriveing 2morro, so once its on its wheels i can start fiberglassing the dash......mmmmmm messy
