Hi Guys,
Got myself a bravo yesterday off eBay, really happy about it needs a camshaft kit and belts cracking so will change that while i'm at it (does anyone know where to get decent / cheap kits?)

Been watching the forum awhile and now finally got a car
See you all soon!
Couple pictures took on my phone.

welcome

i was going to say that, the camshaft problem gave it away

the new camshaft wont last very long unless you also improve oil circulation around the head. the main things to clean are the oil flinger bar and the oil pick up pipe. if these are kept clean and the oil is changed regularly the new camshaft should last a very long time.

cam kits are available at all motorfactors and usually dont cost much (usually approx £75 on a twin cam)

Ye, the pick up pipe is blocked so getting some flushing agent for that. Think is the pick up pipe anyway lol, seen a couple on eBay 100 inc p+p but budgets abit tight now and need to get other bits aswell lol

I like your bravo ^^ saw it AGES ago and looks nice

Bugger i was going on the wings which i though had the long indicators, and the side skirts. Ohh well.

Good luck with the 1.4 you'll enjoy the same fuel enconomy as the HGT
