The hours do keep me occupied especially with the new position I've got out here, makes the days and weeks go bloody quick. Let's just hope the reassemble and refit goes smoothly and I can finally enjoy it, guess we'll soon find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't comment on the piston damage cause that's why I bent over and paid as to who's, what, when and why it happened it couldn't be narrowed down to. Abit rough all round to be honest but I've moved on and can't wait to drive it again. There was not much to say but it's a badass engine now and to make sure it's all good before it goes back in the car I got it run in on there engine dyno plus they wanted to hear what the new pistons sounded like. As for back on the road I'm hoping as early as this week cause I'm going home a couple weeks early so hopefully I get to drive it then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All worth it in the end!! Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still not holding my breath cause I've been disappointed so many times with this car but either way it will happen, eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
