  1. At the moment just stripping the engine and see how scored the bores are. That should happen before Friday, so that the warranty can send their engineer to inspect it. Once we see the damage and the cause, we will decide how to go further, sleeving or bore out and get bigger pistons etc, depending on what the warranty authorises. I'm on it, don't worry, will help them supplying the parts at cost price... We're off topic
  2. http://www.911sbd.com Full engine rebuild. Kindly recommended by Taras@RT-Performance, a friend of his.
  3. It's being cracked open today, the new garage promised to do it under £5k, so that's sorted. That's the reason I bought it without checks, as I had the warranty cover. To conclude, until I can afford the 918 spider, I won't be buying another Porsche ever again.
  4. The 370z engine bay bolt kits are here!!! OMG, I'm so bloody impressed with the quality and the finish!!! Photos and prices to follow. Available in 6 finishes: burnt titanium, purple, blue, gold, black, natural.
  5. Did you? I didn't, but this is what I got in exchange, hence my comments above. I've been speaking with 3 Porsche specialists, the car is now with one of them, engine being stripped today. They said they see at least 1/month a Cayman, Boxter or 911 with the same problems as mine, and more common, IMS failures.
  6. Stevo, read above, stay away from Porsche unless you take it to a proper specialist for 100 points check before buying, including boroscope test
  7. Don't even think Porsche, trust me!!! £7000 + VAT for engine rebuild... IMS failures and bores scoring are so bloody common, I still can't believe we're talking about Porsche engines. Supercharge the 350z, improve the suspension and forget about other cars, nothing else out there gets you that kind of power and handling within that budget.
  8. Thanks a lot, Graham, great review! Please report back once all the adjustments on your geo have been completed and you had some proper play with them on the Appledor ring As of today, all the kits come standard with rear adjustment extenders, photo added on the first post.
  9. Is that from the FF7 soundtrack? "It's been a loooooong day, without my friend..."
  10. Hmmm, thinking to buy this and include it with the red interior when I'm selling the 370z...
  11. Finally! Another proper build thread! Very, very nice, buddy! Wait, you ordered something from GTM and you're hoping to arrive?! 0.0001 chances unfortunately, although I've seen Sam becoming active on US forums. Looking forward to the next updates.
  12. Congrats, enjoy it! If the exhaust is too quiet, give us a shout
  13. Stage 3 for your FI car, considering you want to play with the internals of your engine, too
  14. madmikester is fitting a red set today on his 350z, I'll get him to report on here. No clips supplied, but we can look into this.
  15. 350z DE engine harness cover work in progress. They will be available in polished, powder coated in different colours and burnt titanium.
  16. Ha ha, don't be mean, not everyone it's so bloody awesome at technical / mechanical stuff
  17. Can source forged long or short blocks of required, ready built or built to specs.
  18. Many guys fitting this weekend, photos will come up soon
