Get a built engine put in it, do it once, do it right

 

He's getting a built 2.0 by his post

 

Yeah it was in response to Scott, re read he said get the v7 block, I interpreted short block

 

Thought you meant op.
Yeah, why would you chose a used one over a built one if option to do so

 

I will have a white v3 bumper you can have for the price of a packet of ****, if your interested pm.

Great looking car mate looks quality, very nice indeed, where are you from? Thanks Aaron

 

It will be built, actually looking at 2.1 kits now as there's very little difference in build cost.

 

Next up 600hp!!

Once the bug starts its very difficult to not get carried away lol

 

I'm setting a ceiling of 400 with this build, I've been there and don't it with 600+, totally different route I'm taking with this car.


VF37 twin scroll with a 2.1 should be more than adequate for the road.

 

Will make a very fast classic on road that!

Do you still have thebgreen one?

 

I've parted it out, too much money tied up in a car that's not being used. I've kept quite a few tasty parts for the R though (6 speed etc)


I'm going to fill that space in the garage with another money pit in the new year though

 

If you're totally sure on it then you'll save a bit in going with a scdb and 11mm stud if sticking below 500hp.

Who you using for build?

 

I'm going to do it along with a friend!

 

 

What's the worst that can happen.

 

lol

 

Lol good on ya.
Anything else and id do it but ill leave mine to builder

 

Who's building the new engine corky? 2.1 yeah?

 

We're going to be building it. I'm good friends with an engine builder anyway. Once this is built and tested we're going to be offering it as a service too.

 

It begins. Hopefully I'll have it stripped down for thorough inspection over the weekend.

 

Think I'm gonna go with Andy Williams and yes, I'm holding out and just overspec it.

 

Piece 2 of a rather large collection I'm gathering. As soon as I've located a decent downpipe I'll order the turbo so I can get the lot ceramic coated.

 

Those are OE headers btw with heat shield missing

 

Went to Santa Pod on Sunday for a laugh, thought I'd stretch her legs a little.

Managed a (IMO) respectable 13.0




If the HG wasn't on its way out before, it certainly is now 😀

 

what power/setup is that on dude? just gauging where I should be aiming mine for when its done!

 

I'd estimate, 280/290

 

Strut brace has been refurbed, just need to get a new sticker and get it fitted

 

Finally got around to fitting some stickers on today, not sure about the fog covers as they look a bit small. But certainly better than plain.

 

Progress has been made on the refurbed inlet manifold, all unessesary knubs ground off and smoothed. Should be ready for paint soon.





Fuel rails and top breather pipes have been painted too, ready for building up.

 

It looks fantastic. How long until it's on the road?

 

It's on the road now, well when it's dry of course lol.

Getting tucked away for winter now, while it has six speed and refreshed engine.
