Oh well, the GReddy BBK was sold to somebody else, so I thought I should use the funds somewhere else To be able to put all that power down properly, I'll need a better diff, so I thought the Quaife does just what I need, will go ahead and order this one: https://conceptzperf...ion.php?II=7066 Also, agreed with Kyle @ IPP for the engine build details as bellow: Compression 9.0:1 Wiseco Pistons .020 over Carillo H Beam Rods ARP WMC 3/8" Rod Bolts ARP L19 Head Bolts Block inspected and cleaned Block redecked Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate Rotating assembly balanced Crank magnafluxed and the journals micro-polished New Moly coated Race Spec main bearings installed New Moly coated Nissan OEM rod bearings installed Block prepped and assembled Cosworth Head Gaskets Heads inspected and cleaned Heads redecked Ported exhaust and intake runners 3 angle valve job New OEM Valve stem seals installed Valve Stem Heights set Cold Clearance set for stock cams Heads prepped and assembled New OEM Oil Pump + Ceramic/Moly Coating to the Piston Tops and Skirts ARP VQ37 Main Stud Kit This should be strong enough to generate safely about 750-800rwhp and still have good longevity. Not sure what the power figure I want, will just go with the flow The engine is on the way to Kyle, there is a slight backlog at the moment, but it is quite possible that it will be ready in 2014 Exciting times ahead, removing actual engine and mods, fitting everything back onto the forged engine and stick it back in the car

Don't forget to stamp up his Service Book Bradders.. Wouldn't ever buy a car that has been serviced by Glyn Hopkin or WLMG, but will look at one that has been serviced by the enthusiast owner.

Organised criminal gangs are increasingly targeting high-end cars with keyless security systems, a UK motoring industry group has warned. The thieves are able to bypass security using equipment intended only for mechanics, the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said. Manufacturers are trying to stay ahead of the thieves by updating software. It has been reported that some London-based owners of Range Rovers have been denied insurance over the issue. The warnings echoed those made by the US National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), which earlier this year said it had seen a "spike" in car thefts involving equipment to spoof keyless entry. Keyless entry and ignition typically works by the driver keeping a fob on their person which automatically opens the car and activates it so it can be driven. As the popularity of keyless systems has increased, criminals have been buying equipment online that is able to re-programme keys. "The criminal act of stealing vehicles through the re-programming of remote-entry keys is an on-going industry-wide problem," said Jaguar Land Rover. "Our line-up continues to meet the insurance industry requirements as tested and agreed with relevant insurance bodies. "Nevertheless we are taking this issue very seriously and our engineering teams are actively working in collaboration with insurance bodies and police forces to solve this continuously evolving problem." The statement added: "This has already resulted in a number of prosecutions." A specific case reported by The Times involved insurers AIG refusing insurance cover to a motorist. In a statement the company said it treated every case individually. "We do not have a blanket policy to exclude certain vehicles from cover. "Given the increasing likelihood that replacement vehicles may be a target for thieves we may ask for additional security measures such as secure off-road parking. By far the most common way of a car being stolen is still from thieves breaking into homes and stealing keys†Ian Crowder AA "This could be, for example, secure private garaging or the installation of mechanically moveable bollards. If this is not possible then, as a last resort, we may refuse to offer insurance cover but only after exhausting every avenue." Thatcham Research, which collates data on behalf of UK insurers, acknowledged the problem was widespread. "Whilst BMWs and Audis appeared to be the early targets, it's fair to say that this was largely associated with their desirability across Europe, rather than any specific security lapse. "Recently we've seen evidence of a range of makes and models being affected, including the Ford Fiesta and Focus, Range Rover Evoque and also now including light commercial vehicles such as the volume-selling Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-29786320
