    it wasnt 150 mate. its 287.9hp on low boost. 150hp wouldnt be able to keep up with a 350hp astra. i had to keep letting off when i was behind your mate :P

    Bonnet Pins - post your pics

    pins are pretty easy to fit dan, just make sure the angle of the pin is straight as it can be a pain getting it right with the curve of the bonnets. bit of an old pic, but.

    advantages of the 5e over the 4e?

    i said it, yes. but, i never ever enter a technical discussion on opinion. it is fact that a longer stroke in the same bore will cause more bearing wear if both motors are revved to the same limit. go ask anyone who builts engines. it is my opinion, but its also fact. it applies to any engine...
