Should be good once done, looks good now. Got me thinking about the 8 in the Calais again, to go injection. Whole motor or top end is the next thing to decide on.

looks goods bud, i used to have a VL that i did the converstion from turbo to 185i injected 5.0 - great for frying tyres dont know where it is now, sold it to a guy on a forum 2-3 years ago and he put rims etc and sold it pretty much straight away from what i was told. still had my plates from when it was turbo on it SLY.747 if anyone has seen it would be keen to see what its like now!
