Just had some bad news off andy he's gone out to drive it an bottom ends gone gunna need engine build can't fucking believe it gutted isn't the word done no weather to save it, strip it or set fire to it.
Big ouch mate really big ouch. I started filling up when he was telling me he's as gutted as I am. I'm too far in now to go backwards so have know choice but to get him to rebuild it mate. Hard parts investing all this money an never actually driving it. I love the car but despise it at the same time can't win.
Ask yourself the end goal wanted, sensible powered c1j should be reliable built and setup right. Chasing big numbers would argue tfsi k04 vag setup 5 speed vag box 400bhp on tfsi managment for cheaper conversion and no need to open it up

Was speaking to Andy earlier about 172 conversation just means taking a hit on the parts that won't fit even though there all brand new. I want a reliable motor an know how addictive chasing bigger power is so I can definitely see an engine conversion coming up for the 5
Turns out the engine in mine is out of a Renault 11 luckly Andy at overboost got me a Renault 5 engine what needs rebuilding so he started striping it down he's taken crankshaft out an sending it off to engineers then engine rebuild. Bigger turbo an piper 270 cam in. He's also painting the engine bay ferrari red engine block black with red rocker cover Will save time when she's at the body shop next month or two. Fingers crossed I can drive it back this time an not follow it from behind on a recovery truck for the 5th time haha.
