wtf is a sway bar?

It's American for Anti-Roll bar...the same way everyone here seems to quote temperatures in Fahrenheit, call standard parts stock etc...

I dont get it.

Are you too easily swayed or something?

Any updates on the build?
Interestingly, it so happens that we live on the same road! Every time I go past I see the car sat on your driveway with the front bumper hanging off feeling sorry for itself..
I remember a few years back when the car really was rather loud, straight piped I assume, I'm sure it actually woke me up on some mornings

[gsd2000]

Due to family commitments my priorities changed and so the car hasnt had anything done in the last 4 months

[gsd2000]

But a few more parts have been ordered/bought including

Used Vortech V7 YSI supercharger
Trickflow as cast heads hand ported by brian tooley with a few other little tricks done to them
Big custom grind cam
Johnson short travel Tie bar lifters

Block needs repainting as the paint didnt stick so that was a waste of time

Confirm a few things with the machine shop and then get back on it

Hope all is well at your end, know where you're coming from.

I want those heads. How big is the big cam? FI big, or really big?

[gsd2000]

Cam will be around 227/239 115 lsa so approx 2.5 degrees of overlap

I got a good deal on the heads

[KMud]

That sounds really healthy, decent lift?

Will have to talk to you about those heads next time I have some money/inclination!

yep the car had long tube headers and pretty much straight pipes, its why i started to walk to work.

I thought it might start to annoy people starting the car up at 5:30am

[minime68]

Man I hope you get this badboy up and running ASAP. The German neighbors are not too fond of headers + corsa exhaust im afraid so I had to slap on some resonators. Hurry up and come to the ring so we can go for a cruise!

[stigmundfreud]

where did you get your corsas from? I am trying to source a Billy Boat Fusion

[ARAF]

I saw this on its way to Derby. Have you changed your mind to Turbos now?

I was chatting to Gummy earlier and he is really excited as Hollywood want his input in the remaking of this classic film:

IF you were to tie your money to a boomerang and throw it, it will return. If you were to tie it to a frisby once you throw it, its gone

[S800VXR]

LMAO. Don't think even the mods will catch that one!
