I purchased this a few weeks ago to use as my winter/daily car. The car is almost standard. It came with the following... Apexi turbo timer. Bailys dump valve. Unknown 40mm lowering springs. Unknown backbox (not sure if its a full system) Some shitty mudflaps which i will be removing soon Fully sound deadened. No major plans for this car besides some minor bodywork, cleaning up the engine bay and some rims. I might turn it up to 1bar as i already have the supporting mods lying around. I really want to keep it standard but we all know what its like when the tuning bug bites.
Thats odd. They normally just ask for a chassis number and part description. Did you tell them its an import. Some of the guys working on the parts desk don't know the difference between night and day.
Top seller, I purchased a GT bonnet from Russ, It arrived quickly and well packaged and he sent pics via PM and kept me well informed right up to when it arrived,
Each to their own, Obviously majority of people on the forum are far more meticulous about they way they build their engines.
Me personally I dont cut corners and dont mind spending extra cash for extra piece of mind.
If your going to fork out all that money to rebuild an engine why the hell would you not want to balance it...as previously mentioned it can cause uneven wear on bearings and could also damage your crank shaft as well as many other problems.
Like they say do it cheap do it twice do it properly and all is nice.
I had my engines built by future motorsports and they balance all engines that they build and balancing is included in the quoted price. some traders charge extra for balancing but IMO balancing should be included in any engine build
