Still reckon there's a market for a UK fitter / supplier for a turn key kit on these - only so many 'good' F20C blocks left out there

Just done some digging into the prices and I didn't realise how much they are!
Would you be willing to split it and sell me just the carrier? That way I can reuse my 320 I already have and get another to match it, this would then leave you with two pumps to sell and if that's not an option for you I completely understand.

Don't lure me into something I don't need to be lured into haha
I did think about this for after mine is done but for now I'll shelve the idea haha

Me and a friend are looking at renting out a garage to build and modify drift cars and such.

Leak test on the fuel system tomorrow .. Fingers crossed!
Also the car will be heading back to my work some point this week which is where I have the materials and equipment to make the last few bits of bracket and tubing.

Intake issue may have been solved.
Replace the silicone elbow with a straight then from that a stainless 4" tube with a sharp radius going down and slightly to the O/s and then a tight radius swinging it round to the N/s meaning I regain some bonnet clearance and don't have to chop up the air filter! Win!
Rad cap is getting chopped off the rad and then blanked mon/tues night depending on my friend who had the gear to weld ally.

Just waiting on this god damn sump!

Also heard no word from the electrician as to when his staff levels are back up to full strength.

Getting pretty peeved about this whole sump situation.
Only used this laser cutting outfit because they were recommend to me but it's taking ages, no quote on price yet and got told that they want to change the design! NO! I drew it up the way I want it and took into account material thickness and every thing! I do not want the whole thing shortening by 20mm to save you material! It won't f@#king fit if it's 20mm shorter!!!!


The last one was recommended to me too and they profile burnt something I wanted lasering.
The first company I used was spot on! Wish I'd gone with them this time around.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is I'm sick of being recommended places for them to let me down.

I've decided to draw up some new engine mounts done which will negate the need for an adapting bracket for the height.
I'll be using the first company I dealt with seeing as they produce what I want, how I want and within a very good time scale.
I'll also be getting the mounts anodised in black.
I think black is my new favourite colour ....
