Its basically for cleaning out the inside of your engine. Can make it run a whole lot better especially if your cars been run slowly around town all its life. It was funny, after spraying the equivalent of two bottles of fairy liquid into mhuk's inlet, it wouldn't even go thirty flat out for a while...

Well maybe not *sexy* but you can't buy that kinda cool. (480 comes close maybe!) I've never seen a guy with a big afro who wasn't totally surrounded by admiring people! I guess an 80's car deserves an 80's haircut though... like this! http://img51.photobucket.com/albums/v157/johnrobb/MULLET.jpg Com...

Eh? I though that was kinda the point?! :) :)

The greenstuff was similar to 10k....as to if it worked, you'd have to ask mhuk.

Thanks a lot Gaz, it was really cool to meet you and everyone else. I had a great time...

I especially liked the bit where both mine and mhuk's brakes melted into a gooey mess after your high speed (erm...60mph...cough) sprint through the countryside. Don't worry, they're working fine again now ;)

1049 i think... the panda comes with 750/999/1108(auto)

a 1242 punto engine fits too, although not sure about the 16v 1242.

Baring in mind the panda weighs 680kg i think....a 1.05 turbo will blow pretty much anything off.

- I did once consider putting the turbo'd engine from a lancia y10 turbo in...direct fit. I even sourced one...was talked out of it on insurance grounds. They spoil most of my fun.

This topic isn't half getting long.

I'm enjoying being single, i'm less stressed and get more sleep.
While the thought of Gemma (ex) eith someone else sickens me to the bone i'm doing a good job of not thinking about it. Besides, i met the guy and he was nice. - I don't blame him.

I nearly bought an HF Turbo (like a toned down 'grale) when i was 18 but was scared by the insurance quote of doooooooom.

As for spitfires, my dearest mother used to have one. Nearly bought one 6 months back too, but reallised she'd grown out of it, and wanted reliability and safety.
