Such a shame I really didn't expect it to go

Time for a bullet proof build looks like we will be doing our builds about the same time I'm saving for mine when I get bk from holiday. 2.3 chris?

there are a few different ways to build a 2.3 (mines a sleeved 2.0 CDB bored out to 2.5 with destroker rods), but you are right all nasty expensive which leads to protracted build times

sti7 bottom end with your heads would make for a cracking road car in your shell I reckon
