In that case dont speak to darren

Id say speak to darren then he tried to sell me it but i had already began the rebuild and wanted the piece of mind that id seen the quality of the work done myself in person!

Yeah sure lol

Theres a billion refurb companies in london lol. Google some then check out the reviews

Same here! Driftowrks 300 quid jobby.

Search my thread lol or darrenb off here i believe is selling hes freshley rebuilt block

wow thats mad!! what a way to go though! best of luck with the new motor!

Look forward to seeing them on the car!

meh, it's all in a days work I enjoy it anyway, if i would have made the decision earlier in life to do mechanics, i would be a happy man. I love tinkering with cars, i know someone is doing this for me, but i'm there, i'm watching and i'm learning! I bought the car cheap tbh, i paid 5k for it, even if its only worth 5k when i come to sell it, meh, i dont buy cars to make a profit, i buy cars to enjoy them for what they are. driving feels like you're in your own little world, nothing matters and you have no worries, and if i have to pay over the odds to get that feeling whilst in a car i enjoy driving then i will lol, least i know it won't (shouldn't) break down lol

Car looks amazing dude!

Ignore that, i work in mile end, live in east ham, any pics of the tyre treads please?

Stan where in london are you?

Check out Bob's wiring guide to making it louder, most head units will be fine, some down output enough watts to power them to a decent volume, but bobs guide is perfect and works a treat!

pics would help, but also sounds like a base model, with a folding mirror mod, and some new interior!

The part number painted on? assumed second hand part? rubbed off easy! And the damage to the layshaft:

Thought about selling it when it was done haha, but i cant do that to it! Uploading some pics of the gearbox now! hoping ewen gets back to me asap with the prices lol.

Welcome! nice motor!

Waiting for Clark's to get a price back to me for all the parts. I did mention earlier but crank is being reground lightened and balanced with the new lightened pulley and lightened flywheel the bores are being rehoned to and the heads are getting a port and polish Had some bad news with the gear box. Looks like the layshaft might be FUBAR. Looks like the box has previously had a cheap rebuild using second hand parts. I'll upload some pics soon!

I got mine from driftworks for £300 delivered not had any issues with it.

I also just had a look, thats £4k, im pretty sure this willl probably cost the same including the labour etc. lol

I dont want a forged block? im just rebuilding it to oem spec?

:surrender: me too

Welcome!

Aparently i stopped driving it just in time! the big end shells have worn down to the brass which causes oil pressure to drop the bores are a bit scratched up too!
