I am proud, still kept the badges on the back lol :p

also some bad news, my dad and i where putting the pistons back in the block today,

when the piston ring compressor sliped and we snapped an oil scraper ring :crybaby: :crybaby: :crybaby:

another £25 for a set of rings

clive

last set of pistons i did, me and my mate used our mitts to compress the rings

thats some harcore "antibuyanewtoolism" lol :p

too right, well had to call in the next door neighbour aswell so technically it was 3 pairs of hands but tell you what, saves the risk of scratching the nicely decked block or damageing the rings

it was on the clio, fitting my low comp forged pistons, not on a polo

Looking good man

IMO you should have done the gt conversion the other way round, 1.0 badges with a gt lump - sleeper FTW

BTW whatd does "sleeper" mean?,

Looks slow/standard i.e. 1.0 litre badges everywhere

But goes like stink i.e. g40 under the front
