    I think you should advertise the car now, and give the buyer the option of stock, mild or mad spec engine 😬👍 bespoke build with a sliding scale sale price depending on spec.
    You could build it stock, then a buyer comes along, saying, can I have it with 600hp and it’s got to come apart again.... #justsaying 👍😎

    I agree with those who say do a raffle, it makes really good content . I also think the other good option is to sell it first and let the new buyer choose their own spec.

    Hi Ricky, Is there anything within the current jobs you are doing where you could make a deal with the owner so he get's an upgrade at a good price and you get a standard use block etc? If not go by what's cost effective which gives you what you require and quick turnaround on the car. Good luck with it and keep us informed of your progress.👍👍

    Ricky do a new stock block build save the money and when you sell it put the funds into your lovely blue track car as it is going to need all the help it can get 😁their would be a bigger sales market for a reliable stock new engined ttrs than a modded one because it was done right at REperformance yes you can give your self a pat on the back because you deserve it bro cheers from down under ps that ttrs is worth about 35 to 40k in australia

  • @Dadeets
    @Dadeets Před 11 měsíci +1

    Looks very similar to a TT issue Dean @ saving salvage is facing , in an ‘amplified’ edition I believe it is. Lack of compression on cyl2 eventually led him to strip it down and he the rings had sh1t themselves, disintegrated and left remnants in the sump/strainer/pick up along with bits of chewed up piston . The piston looks very much like yours. His cyl wall showed little by way of damage either. Is this a common issue in these then?

  • @paulp96275

    Bud only do it if you're going to keep it. It's the way with old cars, 55 plate BMW 120d 150K miles - new alternator, turbo, x4 injectors, uprated FMIC, Koni Active dampers, Eibach Pros spring, BMWP front strut top-mounts, rear shock top mounts and bottom mounts, front & rear ARB bushes and drop-links, idler/pulley/tensioner and belts, front wheel bearing steering rack, radiator & condenser, rear left drive-shaft and ABS sensor, repaired i-drive computer & BT module, remapped to 300lb-ft (200BHP) would need to uprate the torque convertor, only the best for Bertha; About £10K in repair bills only worth about £2K but I like Bertha she got nice comfy suspension that I worked on getting tailored to my tastes for dailying or hooning on a journey when hit I a good A/B road (Koni Active damping)...I keep a (dirty) weekend car currently Boxster type 987 gen 2, but even with PASM and DSC V1, the 19s tyres don't have much sidewall and comfort as daily suffers or may be I'm just getting old and need to buy a Jag...

  • @torstenhein2979

Now I just need to get on the graft and get the money together.
