Cr4p news Tom

Got a full STi8 engine with 40k miles on it if you need it, AVCS heads and block!

Was going to put it in my Bug, all you need is your standard heads, block should be a relatively easy swap (bar a few bits and bobs) It's going on ebay in the next month or so.

Let me know fella

Ross

Ross, let me know if you sell the heads from that motor.

Tom i also have an engine crane if you need it. Piece of **** to swap over if you use Ross's short motor. Factor in buying an unknown motor vs rebuilding your own one with a new short motor too.

Sorry to hear the sad news Tom hope you get it sorted soon. There`s plenty of expertise within the ESC I`m sure they`ll help as much as possible. I`m a long way away but anything I can do to help just shout.

Sorry to hear that Tom. I'd buy the lump off Ross and sell the heads to Frayz. Leave that box in it. Much better for town driving and better off the lights.
