"Back in the day"???????

Look boy...
That still whipping the snot out of jappo engines...

look here...



By the way, this model shown

...was the latest of the 2 litre "Pintos" (a name that has stuck, despite its seeming irrelevance). Referred to as the 205 (check the side) it is the preferred 2 litre for turbocharging and other serious mods, compared to the older standard 2.0 that starred in your first photos.



...but don't fret... this baby still has a lot of arsewhupping left in her.


Almost every kit-car instruction had the same sentence: "Locate a 2 litre Ford OHC and install..."

[wagonrunner]

did the the vauxhall instruction kit have the fine print as quoted by mg man?

[MG Man]

he didn't folliw the instructions on the kit..he accidentally opend the 'DIY Abortion for Dummies' book

[d spike]

As far as this engine is concerned:

All the jappo lovers should know that this configuration pushes out 200hp...
And check out the guys in Finland who get 8.53 on the quarter-mile at 50 p.s.i. with a Holset turbo using that ol' iron... would love to see a honda do that... only eight valves, eh... and no NOS either, just muscle...

did the the vauxhall instruction kit have the fine print as quoted by mg man?

The Viva performs quite well with the 2 litre Pinto aboard... and that is stock with the old exhaust manifold. Headers (extractors) and sidedraughts are next. I don't mind you taking her for a spin at the first BYCC I bring her to, but you must promise to wear diapers.

[wagonrunner]

you prefer i wear washable or disposable?
and remember to submit for my approval, the female nurses to change me. (already have a few in mind).

[d spike]

you prefer i wear washable or disposable?

I don't care about all those soap advertisements that you love to quote... that crap of yours doesn't wash out.
Disposable it will have to be. Choose a brand that has a large handle on it, so we can just stop the car by the dumpster, pick up the entire quivering heap (crapper and crappee) and toss it out.

and remember to submit for my approval, the female nurses to change me. (already have a few in mind).

These come highly recommended by MG. Choose one.

[wagonrunner]

when did Mg meet your favorites, and why try to pass them on to me?

[nigie]

[Mr. Red Sleeper]

^^Yup! lol

[MG Man]

not sure why nigie insist on callin it a restoration tho
restoration typically means restoring a car back to factory fresh condition, hence the word 'restoration'
I think what nigie means to say is 'abo' and not 'resto' seeing as how much abortion goin on with those cars

[nigie]

Automobile restoration is the process of repairing the degraded aspect of a car to return it to an overall "authentic" condition. To renovate a car without updating or upgrading it by keeping in line with how it would have appeared when first offered for sale. Non factory paint codes and even paint schemes, interior and chrome trim of the time period may be used if they were commonly shared between similar models of the era so as to look the part. Many restored cars may lose their original engines and have a similar capacity or model related engine installed.

Restoration is sometimes confused with the term "restomod." A restomod places some portions of the car as they were when the car was first offered for sale, and changes (updates) others. If any part of the car is updated, the car has been "restomodded," and not restored. An "original restoration" puts a car in the same condition as when it was first offered for sale.

u happy now mg?

[MG Man]

u had to google to say what I just said?
I still say abortion is ah better description
