I've got a 50mm inlet, both sections plus the 4 injectors and lines you can have for 50 notes if any good to ya. Upgrade from your 42mm inlet

The inlet is the alloy part that goes over the rocker cover(looks like 4 fingers). Its a 2 part inlet, the short bit that holds the injectors fits to the block and the larger part has the throttle body on it

As far as im aware it was never in an accident, although if i can remember some panels never lined up as good as they should...
I bought it off a mate who had had it parked up for a few years ,as the missus wanted something new to run around in.. It needed a few bits doing to it, like the fuel pump relay as thats the reason it wouldnt start and he had parked it up (result) as the head gasket needed changing..
It flew though the MOT and the guy said the underneath was mint, although i did have to rob my cab (white one)for the suspension ( vipertech -60mm..so you know) and just as i was about to tax it the missus changed her mind...... so i sold it on...

I did notice the grill (with the silver sprayed edge, done buy yours truly ) had melted at some point..

I actually lost out on that motor.... bloody women !!!!!

The paint code should be on a sticker on the reinforcement bar across the rear strut towers in the boot

Told you it was black.....

It's a one year only, all black edition.... although im not sure if it hasnt had a blow over at some point cos it does seem to change colour in the wet...

I wont say what he paid but it was a lot more than that... you did good at that price especially with that lump... as long as it's not buggered of course ..

must of been some time early last year i sold it....... i think

well, he told me it would need a jump to start.

and when i got home i just popped the + battery terminal on and pumped the throttle a couple of times. turned the key and it started!!!!

even only running on 2 cylinders, i was impressed as the car had not been run for 6-8 months!

sounded rather sweet tho (albeit on 2 cyl)

You might want to invest in a new in-tank lift pump, when i took it for it's mot i would stutter and have no power when you tried to floor it over 4k
Think there around 20-25...

Did he put a whole new exhaust system on..or just a back box??
