Idrees - Many thanks buddy :)

Sparky - I am trying my best to get it mapped before then but i might not have the miles on it by then but i will certainly try as i am anxious too see what it will make. Yeah the video as Kon said was not even mapped and was only 0.8 bar.

how many miles you clocked now and how many oil/filter changes you done?

Had a change at 40 miles, i have now done 470 and by the end of tonight will touch 500 then do an oil and filter change.

I will do the next oil and filter change at 1000 miles.

They are racking up quickly lol only had the car 3 days lmao !

Had it rebored too big and caused 2 cracked pistons amungst loads of other faults including not press fitting the gudgeon pin into one of the pistons correctly it was litterally mm's away from touching the internals of the bore and would have sent the rods flying through the block. Basically the engine was shocking !

Darren totally transformed the engine and it runs so smooth and great does not miss a beat.

Indeed ROSS piston mate would never touch them again no matter how good someone rates them. 1 bad experience has left me scared for life lol. Mine cracked up the skirts too mate.

So I take it the engine wouldn't even start then or did it run and then f*ck up later?

It ran mate just smoked on idle on first start up and then when i used boost it chucked smoke out. In the end i done 2700 miles with the engine lol god knows how !

Cheers mate yeah i might actually drive down to you no worries get some of your local mates out with their starlets if there are any others down that way.



Cheers bud, yeah it should be a handfull after the 8th Nov.

There aint many but we could get a few people out, there is a nice p1 to play with. Just give me a shout when your thinking about it lad. I am sure the miles will help bed your engine in.
