2 weeks of pure bad luck
So where do I start..
Over the last 2 years I have been building my blob sti bit by bit doing all the work myself and saving what I can and putting it into the car.. finally 2 weeks ago I finished it. Got car on the road did about 20 miles and boom turbo went smoke covering the road, got car back to garage and took turbo off the car and half a litre of oil in the turbine! Anyway so sent turbo back to supplier and got it back the week after all sorted.. fitted it back to the car, started it up and no smoke running like a dream! Really happy loving it! Got the car to the local valeting company for a 2 stage buff and it looked awesome! That night was out in the car not driving it to hard car still on low boost 1.4 bar 400/400 on a fully forged 2.0 with spec c heads.. not pushing it At all! Bang bottom end went.. managed to limp the car home and put it back in the garage.. to say I'm gutted is a absolute understatement 😕..
But at least it looks well..

Thanks pal, spoke to Andy at WMS today about building me another engine, not going to be cheap. Put everything I had into finishing it was looking forward to Spa and nurburg spring with it. Got a Suzuki GSXR so that's going up for sale unfortunately to help fund it.. 😕

Shame to here, these cars can be very testing at times. I remember my old blob when I'd finished building it, took it over to the ring and straight off in to a barrier on the 2nd lap. Hit some oil put down by a 944. Thankfully most things can be fixed and once back in the UK I had it stripped down and rebuilt.

Only ever heard good things about WMS so hope they build you a nice one and you get sorted out soon,put the whole sorry story behind you and maybe when your dream car is rebuilt(awesome looking car btw) you can then save up for another bike
Best of luck with it all.

Ryan it sounds like you have done everything as it should be, I cannot understand what has gone wrong here, maybe someone else knows better?
