Default Engine went today, sad times :(

Chappie came today (cheers Denno) bought the engine with no probs, also had a few other bits n pieces.

Was 2 minds to say to tony/matt, yeh ok put it back, i wanna keep it, and should funds allow, i would have not even have started

SOUND chap, its going to be going in some old car I cant remember the name of LOL, looked nice tho from the pics he showed me

OH and that super cheap GENUINE RS200 Some people have all the luck!

Time to move on to bigger and better things, with a LOT more power and a lighter car and 4x4, but will see what the future brings!
