Steve GT Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 Feeling it for you, just how i felt when i thought the mani had let go, agree with the rebuilding the motor though unless you are going to rebuild all the motor just doing one area puts stress on other worn areas so doing the bottom end will but stress on the top end an vice a versa, just when you seemd sorted gutted for you.you think the same as me there dude. if i rebuilt the bottom end then i wont trust the top then. think im going to save the pennys and build a block from scratchNo wayyyyyyyyyyyyy Yup shit isnt it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve GT Posted June 26, 2010 Author Share Posted June 26, 2010 dood, this fails to make me happy. sorry to read this!really hope u can her sorted man!Phil.ahhh well. im very laid back......luckily so this aint bothering me i love a challenge and i love my car. everyone keeps telling me all these problems why dont you sell it and buy a minter? Wheres the fun in that. id trust a crappy car that I've done up and built myself way more than a minter that could fail at any minute. patience is a virtue and im full of patience so we will continue down this road for as long as it takes not good man:( you thought about going forged?yes i have im going to maybe have a chat with nick TD about which road im going to go down. but i dont see how forging will be hugely beneficial as im only planning on running a hybrid at 1.2 bar which a new rebuilt standard engine is more than capable of taking.
