The 5e was fitted in jap land because I was going to buy it from wrc sales but bought my livesports instead, as when I looked under the bonnet the turbo and what not wasnt even connected ???

At least it's getting some love and care now :p not that Saeed didn't because he did too :(

Will be epic when all finished!!

new exhaust can wait mate big brakes are a must

I no mate they havent got back to me with a quote though so i cant really spend any money at the moment :/ i have no idea what the bill is going to be as ive added so many extra little things on such as a full size rad, the gearbox was taken apart and checked and needed a new diff bearing, BMC, yellow stuff pads, torque damper, plus they are running it in for me now aswell so i really dont have no idea lol, plus my clutch was knackerd so they got me a paddle clutch

As some of you may no my crankshaft was found to be cracked whilst in the machine shop, after franticly searching for almost 3 days i felt like i was pissing in the wind, however i just made a guy an offer he couldnt really refuse as he wanted to keep it as a spare, he accepted my offer and its getting sent to TD Monday :-) let the engine build continue :-) !
