Well as you all know one rotor went, so i had the choice to either sell it blown (approx 4K) or use the money i had aside for an Elise to give her a fresh dose of life.
And i chose to bring her back to life
Shes currently at RX Motors waiting for the rebuild. Was going to use Dragon but i couldnt budget them for what i wanted.
having a complete rebuild includes removal and reinstallation of lump, new housings, tips, seals and a 12 month unlimited mileage waranty.
Plus next level up with mods:
Street Porting
FMIC
Bigger Injectors
Dyno session once run in (1.5K run in period)
Engine work is approx £4000.
Then off to the body shop for full respray and new skirts and front bumper (if i can budget it)
Went and brought a new car 2 weeks ago , Rover 216 with the honda lump
love it
So the FD is coming home within the next 2 months

I've just bought some more toys for mine .
I'm going to cry like a big girl if it goes bang before I get them fitted.
Replaced the lights again and had an FMIC fitted. I've bought a pair of additional injectors, and i'm waiting on a water injection kit. Should be able to run over 1 bar, and over 400 bhp.

your lucky the turbo's are ok
my rebuild was a shocker....
block, head, hybrids, new fuel sys, controllers...
could have done it cheaper and easier but that would have involved the words STANDARD, GAY, and cheaper
