According to his thread on NS - 4 clutches & 3 gearboxes

[Sarnie]

If it needs a bottom end rebuild I honestly don't see that as much of a bargain given its age etc. Anyone want to hazard a guess at the cost of putting that car right?

Sure Abbey could make a pretty good guess!

Can get a forged short block from IPP for £2.5k delivered + labour. Could be a good base for a FI project if it was a bit cheaper

Ok guys, thanks for those charming responses!

 

I have had a load issues with this car... This ad was a bit impulsive... Will probably hang onto the car as I'm at the point of no return!

 

Have been thinking about the short block Ian...

[Sarnie]

How come you've needed 4 clutches?

Is fair to report that it wasn't my driving style that's for sure...

 

The issue was found to be with the master slave cylinder which must have had a sticky valve inside or something and was keeping the clutch engaged. My exedy stage 1 clutch lasted one month. I thought it was faulty fitting so got it changed again, and then the next one lasted only 6 months... Zmanalex advised me of this possible master slave cylinder. All been jiggy since.. Gearboxes were because I had brought faulty ones.

 

Btw, it wasn't the "nos" that blew the engine, lack of oil on a trackday (even though I thought i'd topped it up! )

[Zedrush]

damn shame, doesnt say it was the nos thats caused the knocking though

 

could be no oil or any other reason, he would of had to of been a complete wally if he didnt take the simple precautions when using nos to damage his car.

 

Dont give nos a bad name,

I spoke to Kyle yesterday. For the stage 1 it works out at about £2.5k shipped to the UK. It would be a few hundred cheaper if you ship your block back to him but for the hassle of getting it back, you might aswell pay the bit extra

[rich5259]

I don't see any mention of FI so how can it be 380BHP?

 

Is that the momentary result of a big shot of nitrous?

Yep I've already spoken to Kyle about this.. but unfortunately, it is considerable downtime for me.. so i'm not sure if this is the route i should be going?
