aint been on for a while but for those of you who dunt know was been goin on i'll give ya a run down.

went to nurburg ring, few problems there n back. few weeks after being back lost loads of performance. turns out i had low compression in all the pistons. took the head of and the exhaust valves were shoot. so i got the head ported polished flowed etc and added a piper cam. got it all sorted on the friday and went to ucs at santa pod. didn't drag it, good job the bottom end went on the way home on the sunday.

so at the moment the engine is out and in a million pieces. as its out i decided to do the lot. new ring big n little ends crank reground crank lightend and balanced fly wheel, clutch all new seals. its not cheap but once its done it'll be bullet proof.

just looking for some1 to do crqank. want it done 4 the weekend but can't find any1. if ya got any ideas. i'm in the birimingham bromsgrove area.

just looking for some1 to sort

Hi mate,

Good lad!

Hope you can get it done for the weekend.

If you are free Monday there is a drift practice day at Silverstone for Ԛ£60.

Gimme a bell when you are down this way next.

Good luck with the crank, don't know anyone up that way. I know people down here, but no-one who can do it double quick. :(

Are you going 2.7 while everything is apart?

Don't go 2.7 Karl, it's not worth it.

Just kidding Sal, he has an M30 3.5 in there already.
