Projekt Alpinweiss V - Rebuilding the new engine...

[Kieron20V]

Ideally, I'll have it in and bedded in before ADI next year.

This is going to be one of those character defining quotes that come and bite you in the ***** hehe.

Should be pretty quick once you've got all the bits. Collecting those bits and paying for them is the time consuming part
So you picked a turbo yet?

[Rusty]

Nah, it'll be grand

[Rusty]

No bothering with a turbo until it's all sorted and working. RS2 isn't too much of a hardship

[Rusty]

Pistons & bearings are here

[Rusty]

Block is being bored by Aelred and head is with JP

[willg54]

Looking forward to watching this progress. Would really love to build a full engine

[Rusty]

Could have bought a new car for what it's costing...

[Sonic]

It gets bad when you begin to not only look at the Porsche you could have bought instead, but you look at the fleet of highly regarded performance cars you could have had instead.

Could have bought a new car for what it's costing...

This is no place for that kind of logic

[Rusty]

Indeed not! Although a Clio 197 would cost about the same...

It gets bad when you begin to not only look at the Porsche you could have bought instead, but you look at the fleet of highly regarded performance cars you could have had instead.

Yeah. But the reaction you get when out on a hoon with a fleet of performance cars is priceless.
It's also rewarding to know that you can manhandle something that handles relatively like ****, and still keep with or outrun some of the aforementioned performance cars.

I was seriously impressed with the combination of Andy C and his car at Combe. You have to be onboard to really appreciate it. With a few more mods it will be excellent.

[Error404]

Thing is I can't afford a 20k car in one go, but it is affordable buying it one piece at a time

[Rusty]

cheers Stu, if it's got a fully working ignition system, then that'd be a great start ... The look on the RS4 owner's face

[Rusty]

Just waiting for the rods now... Got some teaser pics of the head mid-work with JP
