Next round of stuff on the inbound:

Rear Brembo conversion to finish off set
Ultrex "prodrive" style front lip
Alloy radiator
New rear 02 sensor to clear CEL, get fuel economy back etc etc

Also anyone know where to get these sideskirts?

Had le' old girl on hoist to do put in new rear 02 sensor today (car liked this)Realised it has about 175km on her original motor and started talking. Will be due for timing belt again soon, and all the shit that goes with that.

So, was thinking perhaps 207 might as well go in if the front of the motor is off while cam belt got done? Build and get the bits slowly, over coming months or so. Was going to get the 207 block from jarvis suby (SCD with the factory pistons), + water pump and seals and stuff for around 3grand? Maybe throw new oil pump in?

Need to do some searching around on what heads are compatible, with some cams. Heads cleaned up and restored. Also if my current Verso'd ECU will tune up alright with the 207. Looking to keep my existing VF34, injectors, exhaust and headers for the time being.

Need someone to help do my front lip for some beer too, guessing it's a 5 min job but might need another set of hands.

I think keep the stock motor until it goes. Prolly a good 100'000kms on the engine still.

Rich since you are now NOR I am happy to assist with the lip install. When do you want to do it?
207 only once the engine lets go as John suggested

The engine is well looked after, so probably would last another 100k. Bought this car 5 years ago (stock as a my01 rock) and it's now fully owned by me, farken. Maybe just the 200km's figure sounds scary.

This Sat coming Dave if the weather is naice?
