cheers mr brown, will be back soon with updates

wiley

 

Looking very good mate. Hopefully the set back is not to big.

 

Fingers crossed it not too serious mate :thumb;

 

It will need to be stripped in any case by rich. Looking at the opportunity for a closed deck now. Don't think it's that serious, compared to last time

Wiley

 

Damn,not nice at all.

Hope bill wont be too long

 

Car is now with rich @ FB Tuning getting stripped.
He knows his stuff is an understatement
He has given me a few options
1. Drop a 2.0 STi block in there
2. 2.5 with forged pistons
3. 2.1 stoker new build

I'm liking 2.1 option, I'm running a 321T which maxes around 480

Wiley

 

2.1 would be a good option with lots of fun guaranteed

 

*coughs* FORGED 2.5!!!

BTW Not the intention to poach business for APi here, just to give you a user's experience of a proper 2.5 build with a nice turbo!

 

Just read the lot! You've had some ups & downs fella ... Sounds like you're not short of a bob or two though so how about a 2.35

TX.

 

Wiley 2.1 with T will be great,i'm running T with 2.1 with AVCS and spool from 3k RPM is just amazing

If its budget 2.35L will be mine choice,when we are now thinking on everything we will go with next built with 2.35L

Good luck Wiley

wiley

 

Really? What's happened?

 

rich @ FB tuning has some personal challenges
will be going closed deck 2.1 now with alan

wiley

 

??

 

Is Rich ok?

 

didnt really go into any detail, by he didnt sound himself whilst on the phone to me. said wouldnt be taking on any big jobs right now

wiley

 

Bugger. Hope he's ok.

Not having much luck with your car mate.

 

at least its going to the best now... FB tuning is right up there, but enginetuner have the whole workshop and machine shop at their disposal

wiley

 

Quick update
Car is now safely at the grounds of enginetuner. Alan came down himself and collected the motor from FB tuning
Also ordered a PU front splitter from jmcarbon, great value @ £79.99 delivered
And some Project Kics Neo chrome lug nuts from the US.
Hope to be back on the road in a few weeks

Wiley

 

Glad you are finally getting there with it mate. Be good to have it back on the road

 

Good choice your car is in safe hands

 

cheers omar

wiley

 

When's car ready Wiley?

 

Hopefully not long. Just had to get hold of some STi 6 heads as mine were in a bad state. Alan sent me the pics and they looked effed... Don't know what the previous garage thought when he put them together.

Wiley

 

Wiley good choice and hope so now everything will be without the problem.

Good luck matey
