Im a 173 lover myself, but you cant beat those extra cubes of grunt that a 202 provides.
No shame at all having a small motor. Its still a Q. |

What about the lil 138 red? LOL I like the number plate, looks like it belongs to the time, not likely to attract unwanted attention. 100% thumbs up for me. Edited by user Sunday, 15 February 2009 9:06:55 PM(UTC)

Cheers for the kind words guys!
The bay itself has just had a quick tidy, but its been a fair journey to get the motor to that stage. Two full rebuilds in quick succession (decided i wanted it bigger and better than at first) and all the usual gremlins |

Its a good feeling when you know you have done it yourself, until it breaks then you cant blame anyone else. That bit sucks. Good to see someone sticking with what they got and making the best of it. You dont need a chev or a 355 to have a bit of fun and
