[pete]

unfortunate pete, going to be a straight forward rebuild? are they fairly easy to work on?

Very easy rebuild. Engine's already out waiting to go in the bin :cheese: Just can't put it all in at once. Don't want to give the bin man a hernia :tongue: .

Just got to source another engine. Hayabusa would be nice but too much money and hassle. Possibly go for a 2005 R1 engine as they are more powerfull. Then we'll see which green car's the quickest :cheese:

[Bungle]

ade makes up over 1/2 the weight of his

[dean_chad]

[Jammy]

what actually casued the problem?

I'm putting it down to accelerating along the M6 to get away from Jammy in a BMW :grin: .

Wo wo wo! Don't try and pin this on me! :tongue: If you can't get away from a Euro box and survive, what chance have you got against my Vtec! :tongue:

[pete]

Jammy,
Have you got your vtec subframe yet? If not then I know a man who may be starting to build them and might want a car to use. You never know, you might get a good deal out of it.

Don't give to the bin man, take it apart sell the bits, if you sell most of the good bits you could get £400~£500

Couldn't you donate one of the many bike engines you have sitting around doing nothing David? :tongue: :grin:

[Dom]

Hope it gets sorted

I haven't got a injected R1, only a carb version but I'm going to use it honest.

I have done plenty but it's very time consuming fabricating everything, buying a kit would be too easy though wouldn't it :tongue:

I suppose I should start a thread here a few piccies meanwhile

Cheers
David
