When I pulled the plugs today I noticed that a couple of cylinders have gotten hot as all fark, likely at the track day a few weeks ago. It still drives fine etc but a comp test confirmed that it needs fixing. I didn't bother fitting the valve springs cos there's no need at this stage.

I already have a low km gen2 gtx35r on it so the turbo should be good for a while yet. I haven't decided whether to rebuild the motor or just buy one from the wreckers.

Considering that I live in the sticks I'm leaning toward the gas motor to get better economy on the highway.
