Sorry I didnt make it guys. Im kinda gutted that I missed out but I had some serious financial issues that meant me having to start selling off projects. Sadly after a couple of bikes had gone the Dutton was next up for the chop especially as I was having to pay £70 a month for a garage to keep it in.

I did however make a few hundred quid from the sale of the Dutton which was good news. Got £850 for the Dutton plus more for the throttle bodies and some other bits I sold separately.

I am just about back in the black financially and have been busy making my 306 HDi stupidly fast (90bhp std, now 163bhp). Next job is finish collecting up bits of turbo to get myself a hybrid made up.

Im hoping to enter next year but Im going to stick to what I know and build a 306 diesel with stupid power. I reckon I could do 190bhp and 300lb/ft for under £1000. Theres some useable 3dr HDis going for sub £500 and should be a good base.

Practical Performance Car (PPC) magazine, a monthly publication aimed at real car enthusiasts, with real-world cars. At PPC we pride ourselves in providing the most entertaining, informative and inspiring features for petrolheads everywhere. Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
