Is the bottom end stock, and what do you rev to out of interest?

Yeah your right mate, rev limit is set at 8800. I dont know if I fancy the expense of a k24 bottom end, I'm not looking for more power at the mo but when I get bored I think a jrsc is on the cards :thumbup:

looking good mate.
thought it would be more bhp than that with the cams,headwork,rbc etc.
please remove those pedals.

Yeah turned out to be a great buy in they end, I was just a bit dubious at first because it seemed to cheap to be true

I know the pedals look absolutely rubbish but I just haven't bothered changing them yet and they are actually really good for driving with.
