    Roger that.
    Spyda, I reckon even if you get that Aussie 8v running better, the process may still send you grey and bald and slightly mentally frayed!! In theory its probably fairly easy to get running smoothly and with a little more power, but ya never know if you have a can of worms until you open it!! It will never be fast with that motor in my humble opinion. Having said that, if i were you i'd be happy if my car just ran properly let alone had more power. Sure its not as powerful as the UK kjet but its still a fun little car, but only when you have the satisfaction of knowing its runnin as good as it can be. Other than that you're always left wanting.
    ...So, $800 and my EV uk motor is yours haha! Na serious, it needs some work, but was waaay more gutsy than my current GTI

    HAHA your are a decent sales man. If only i had the money.

    Your problems sound different. Ill try get a video of how the car runs just so everyone has an idea of how bad it is. I also now have a sizable hole in the exhaust, sounds awfull.

    I just want to get it all working properly, ive got the down pipe ready to go on but im not guna put it on untill the car is working properly.

    I might just keep driving it till it dies then take the engine out AND THROW IT OFF A TALL BUILDING!!!!
