I thought you were getting someone to rebuild the bottom end for you?

If your dead set on doing it yourself, make sure its done right - It wouldn't cost a huge amount of money to get it sent off for cleaning properly (are you sure there isnt a bit of dirt in that oilway?) & crack testing (block, head, pistons, rods, crank)- Think of the effort, time and money spent all going up in smoke if something isnt right.

I remember your very first post when you said you just intend to do a full APR stage 2 and leave it at that. I always knew you couldn't stop yourself :p haha. Looking good tho mate
 
Speaking with John and Pete I need get some issues sorted first with the chassis as my car can't handle stage 2,never mind 400bhp..so I've bought some cpilovers,brakes and pads,rear strut and engine mounts...

It will defo happen as I have the bits but issues need to be sorted first...so that it can handle the power also got a smf on order....can see this being an expensive time lol..

Part of me wants powwwwwer but I feel todo it differently...am I being stupid or what?
