one day - sighs

How much did that cost you mate !!! I'd say you must get one hell of a bonus to pay for that :) Or is that what ya tell the wife!! I do it myself :) tell her that my bonuses cover the costs of buying wheels etc. so it doesn't affect our budget.. if only she knew!!!

Looking very nice. Nice new ceramic coated pistons. :)

 

What's the purple stuff round the valve seats?

its a lubricant and i think its also used to see if they make a good seal ie no leaks :)

that doesnt include the £4k for my new turbos and manifolds etc :eek:

 

and ive spent about another 2 or 3k on other bits and bobs

still not a bad price i reckon!

 

not that i could afford anything like that, but considering the spec......

exactly i couldnt build it for that price over here with the time etc so was worth the £500 shipping on it

Where is it being built then???
