as she was a few months back(dont have my camera atm so no recent pics)

well she started life as a 1l fox. i collected her around march 2009. today august 2011 she has had 4 engines (aau, mh, nz and aee) 3 gearboxes (1l 4 speed, 1l 5speed ahz, 1.3 5speed 8p)

you may know i fractured piston 3 in my aee V and i am borrowing an engine untill i can rebuild the engine. all i need is a piston, clean the valves and channels and then hone the cylinders. once its all sorted I'm putting the aee back in on the 8p gearbox running cbr600 bike carbs. i need to get a manifold made up and I'm ready to go. i have everything else ready to go.

i no i have had the car for a while now and shes hardly changed and my list of wants haven't changed sinse i got the car, but the fun of having the pulling power from the 1lbox is alot of fun and quite adictive, i have developed a lead foot which plays havock on your wallet! lol

my plans are mainly performance bassed,

stage 3 ppp subframe may settle for stage 2

move some weight from over the front wheels to the rear to try and balance it out a little, but I'm not sure what i can move, i no the battery, thats about it. anyone got any ideas??

put my aee in on cbr600 carbs, i want to aim for 120bhp

modify the 8p gearbox and possibly play around with the ratios

golf gti servo

upgraded brakes (unsure what to use yet I'm thinking greenstuff on black diamond disks??)

new dampers (unsure what for but not philj)

false floor boot and hide the sub

I'm after some audi quattro 14" 6j multispoke ronal alloys on 185/50's or close to correct RR

haha unfortunatly its not sick, nor tornado red....its going pink lol but some G3 and a buffing sesh before edition it will bring it back out.

now i have got my phone back i can get pics up of the updates and engine etc.

cheers tobes but its not needed. iv got an NZ block and head in my shed that just needs headbolts water pump and a rocker gasket. would just prefer to spend the cash on the AEE engine.

look after that bloody engine no lead foot as robert duvall said in gone in sixty seconds you break it you buy it

the pictures dont do lola justice she is a very nice example and polishes up really nice with abit of elbow grease she will be going great again and a huge wad of cash lol
