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 :ninja: + labour. Could be a good base for a FI project if it was a bit cheaper

Ok guys, thanks for those charming responses! :lol:

 

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... :)

How come you've needed 4 clutches? :blush:

 

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

 

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! :bang:)

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

 

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, :dry:

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

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?
