"Tourists heading for Greece are urged to take enough cash with them to last their entire stay as Athens announced banks would be closed Monday in a deepening financial crisis."

Maybe I should just paint a big target on my back while I'm at it..

what level of work you getting done? prices reasonable? what about (wait for it)... timeframe?

We are creating in his words a torque monster.

Prices are reasonable by the sounds of it. Timeframe ETA is about a month once they get the car, so using the workshop project multiplier, probably ~3 months. Barry isn't building the engine, just assembling, but there may be other issues I need to address such as clutch, diffs, gearbox etc. which would hold things up.

Excited :)

Lol, never gets old

Simultaneously the strangest and most normal thing I've ever seen in my life. It was a rational and legitimate proposal; why can't they accept 50 x 20 cent pieces as a cover charge, is it not legal tender? But, you just don't do it.

cool. low-down torque or never-ending-spool torque? im sensing stroker kit and mild cams (but strokers so pricey).

whos building engine then? or is that trade secret?

Is it the 750 that is the original or was that a special edition size?

750 = not AU market

Am I the only one around here happy with beers?

no, I LOOOOOVE beer. it's just that it's not worth talking about like scotch

Torque everywhere torque

Real McCoy "Another Night" torque (I torque torque, I torque to you)

Engine already built; under wraps til it's done!

I got torque and my turbo is literally too small, so go get some 500KW low mounts

Also expect 1 year until its working

Unless you are just flat out buying an engine which is in stock which c'mon man does not ever seem to exist

We'll see - full story when it's put together :)

But yeah I may not be keeping my HKS GT-SS

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
