Bit of an update here guys, the other day i was contemplating selling my car due to having so many problems with an engine that i bought from somebody on the site, bsically he had rebuilt it himself when he told me that it hadnt been rebuilt and it was just low millage.

So........ i went out and bought a new engine from an auto, 29,000 miles on the clock and what a stunner she is! if you could see it in person you would be very impressed, the turbo looks brand new! on saturday at 10pm we started doing the engine swap, clutch change and cambelt change we got done at 10am. so tir

Few pics coming for your viewing pleasure:

Engine is now fantastic and the turbo is amazing! just feels ten times better than my old engine and turbo, probably seeing as its a low mileage unabused auto now converted to a manual :lol:

Hope you like :)
