TORQEN S coilovers then! :lol: Let me see what we have in stock on the Bilstein B6, back in a sec.

More shipped today, first post updated. Nearly ran out of 350z undertrays, will order a new batch next week, but prices will go up slightly, get yours while we still have them in stock. Also ordered hardware kits for 50 more undertrays, same excellent quality, now star retainers also included in the 350z hardware kits and plastic push on clips in the 370z kits.

Helping you not to waste your money, but spend it wisely :D

Just spoke to these guys: http://www.specialistvehiclepreparations.com/blog/porsche-cayman-boxster-911-996-997-engine-rebuild-prices-uk They want £10k + VAT to fully rebuild the engine :lol:

It's more like Albanian engineering if you ask me...

On the to do list, just overwhelmed with the amount of products, queries, orders etc. I need to start hiring

The 350z DE titanium engine bolts samples are here, they look awesome! Just giving the go ahead to the factory to start producing them. Will post some photos and details soon.

Alan, just get a set of proper coilovers, you have adjustability on hand

Will I ever in my life buy another Porker? Ha! Heard some rumours that the warranty company independent assessor was there to inspect the engine today, so it's waiting game now, hope they will cover the work.

Welcome on the internet, Ian!

Some more photos, prices to follow later today I'm hoping, we're ready to take orders 15mm TORQEN R spacers 20mm TORQEN R spacers 25mm TORQEN R spacers 30mm TORQEN R spacers

:lol: True story

Spoke to the previous owner, as expected, he's a nice guy and looked after the car as per the invoices, receipts, service history etc: Here is what he said: "Hi Adrian. That is upsetting and I'm very sorry that you have been landed with such a bill. I have never seen the engine, as it's all tucked away in Porsches and I'm not a mechanic so don't have the ability to look. Is it worse than other cars of the same age? I only just put £1500 or so into it for the service etc. So you transferred the warranty over and they still won't cover any of it?" "I've always been very careful to keep the oil topped up as the guy that sold it to me said these engines use a lot of oil. He said a litre every 1000km is not unusual. Plus the flaring when you start from cold. Sounds like your guys disagree. I've always done whatever work is required and then some - when one rear shocker went I replaced both to ensure no differential in strength. When one coil pack went I replaced all of them for the same reason. It is very disappointing that the engine is like that given I've always exceeded any work required. Would the corrosion/boring lead to breakdown? If so then the warranty would cover it. Once again I'm very sorry but I genuinely did not know about these issues and wouldn't have done until pointed out, or breakdown, which is what the warranty is for." "My apologies again, I feel bad that this has happened. Persevere with the warranty people and hopefully they'll come through. It's what they're supposed to be there for at the end of the day."

Best to update my air ride suspension topic then! BBK we already have it ready for you, the Gram Light wheels too

They sell pretty well Don't worry, we're making them on order, too, so when you're ready just let me know Thanks for your kind words

That's what the garage proposed to the warranty, along with the cost. I was hoping for the walls to be a lot thicker than that, looks like sleeving is the way forward, which is bloody expensive. Adrian

Went and checked the engine this morning, as soon as I landed, cylinder 5 and 6, as well as the pistons are proper scored. Here are some photos I've taken:

:lol: Here when you need me

Come on Nic, 4 days is not that long

I'm looking into these as well, but won't be til later this year, a lot of products in the oven as we speak, baking

We need Paige on here, when is your birthday again? :lol:
