i did everything except build the motor the roof lining and the clear coat

i trimmed the boot up at work and cost me 100$ in material and is my fav bit of the whole car

i hate the engine bay coz everytime i look in there i wanna change s*#t ans it costs me $$$$ i dont want to spend

the hot shrinking and panel beating of the bay took a whole day
the welding 1 day the grinding 1 day

and the final smoothing took about a day also

but after working at custom for three years i was a pro at it,i just looked what everyone was doin to there show cars and bettered it.

Dude your car is sexxxx. Got a few questions, What boost are you running for that power output? Are your pistons cast or forged, and are they and off the shelf item for the C1 or ment for another engine? And a little more info on your rods and where you got them from? I want it, i would be rapt if my setup made that sort of power!!!

I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me saying "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Id be leaning on it,around 11.5 would be good..check the coil,plug gap and the water overflow bottle for signs of the head lifting,that on its own will cause a misfire,watch the water going into the bottle as its ramping and listen for the misfire,if it blows it out at the same time your problem might be solved...
