Send me what you want and I will put the call out on NCR if it helps. -

I was doing a stock refresh on this 5cyl, then it got block mod shims and I bought a whole donor car to take all the performance bits of it... the "stage 3" tune is sitting on the handset waiting for the car to survive run in. Always be upgrading... -

Must be nice to have a fully working car after 3yrs... I can't relate. -

I'll just sit quietly and say nothing about timelines or engine rebuild projects... -
I thought it was a bit cheeky honestly, given the hardware was always capable of it. Yes yes testing needed and it was free etc, but still.

Yes, should have clarified that, thought it would be obvious to those playing at home. -

I have recently had to install a new clutch twice, and the box went on no worries both times, once in and once out of the car. Both times without an aligning tool, mine is MIA, you really can just do it by eye. I was shocked at how easy it was without it. -

Re box, box is a lot easier to move around than the engine IMO. You will want 2 sets of hands regardless. Personally, I'd put the engine in then bring the box to meet it as it's easier to maneuver. If your engine crane setup has the balance bar, that can help immensely. Otherwise, use ratcheting straps, but remember they only go one way under load -

Anyway, I've offered, not much more I can do to assist here. Hope it goes well. -

When I say cheap I mean free my dude. Machining, 1-1500, parts, 1-3k? New motor. -

Get it machined and I imagine you could do the work to rebuild it yourself if you wanted to, but I'm saying that after having invested a lot of hours and a few bucks in in learning and having just started a fresh build that didn't blow up (just pisses out oil from new front and rear mains lololol). Send it to NCR and I'll build it for you cheap as but you get zero warranty lol -

Sorry to see that mate, hope the repair goes well, are you DIYing it? -
Always seems like a big project but everyone I've seen do it, even in newer cars, always says it's awesome.

oh that's great

I went to a CFA call out, during that wet AF winter, thought I'll put my car off the side of the road to clear the way, woops, too far, dropped in up to the sill on the passenger side immediately, did call out, had a few goes at getting it out (had just switched back to road tyres, no good lol). Chucked my rear hitch receiver onto the DELP guys car and used my winch to pull the noise back out onto the road lol Scratched my rims too So yeah, I love those ditches!

Aight cheers, she ended up going the adventure all space like she wanted, but won't change wheels because 17s + glorious sidewall = comfort.

I was about to be double offended you turned down my lunch date offer... Also what rice body kit bits can we add to the missus Tiguan to make it look less mum spec? I see they do a rear spoiler add on which would help.
-
The former I've done, the latter I'm interested in learning.

Thanks for the insight. Trying to start working out what I do with this car once the engine gets here and I feel like I need an actual goal of what I am trying to achieve first so all of this info is very helpful Now backto celebrating your success
