Didn't think it was worth starting a new thread, might aswell carry on from the old one, if Katsa doesn't mind. As many may know chris sold the car to me new years eve last / this year, since owning the car, I have managed to clock up approx. 400km's over the past 9 and a half months, pretty pathetic really.
So I have managed to collect a couple of parts for it lately. And it will be going in for a tune in the week coming and hopefully will all come together within the week.
Cam will be getting checked for specs, and head will be getting checked for hardness along with a few other things while the heads off. New cooler pipes will be getting made for the cold side to suit the new plenum.
Going into her will be the following:
Haltech Sport 1000
Rajab Plenum, with power ported runners, rajab fuel rail and XF throttle body
Tial 44mm Wastegate
Cometic Head Gasket
And will be tuned using some sweet magic medicine.

Hopefully the car will be ready in time for C4C next Sunday, the head has been checked over, and is in great nick. Only downside was that I found that the head had not been ported and polished, so will be getting done early next week. Also waiting on the cam to be checked for specs, which hopefully turns out to be right for the job. Itching to drive it haha.

Well Cam has been through the cam doctor, and turns out it probably doesn't suit my needs, so getting another cam ground by wade. The workshop is hoping to have the head, cam and machined lifter blocks back by Thursday morning to put the car together ready for C4C.

Looks real good mate!! Theres receipts somewhere for the head off the bloke before me for port polish head studs etc etc, unless its been changed again!

Thanks for the kind words Katsa!!!
Well the car's not going to be ready for C4C, which really sucks, but life goes on.
Also picked these up this afternoon, VT brake set-up, everything either new or reconditioned!!
