I can't believe this is happening.
The crank was scuffed while knife edging after that it was then balanced. The company insisted it was fine so they built the engine and gave me a warranty on it.

Nope, not sure. I don't think the crank had anything to do with it, was just pointing out it was the same engine shop.

The garage has now resolved the noises so that's one off my mind. few.... I was getting worried about that one. The other issue is that something withing the cambelt case is catching probable the cam belt it's self. I need to get confirmation from the engine shop that they are happy for the garage to inspect this and resolve this issue. We don't want it to void my warranty on the engine just by doing it. By the time i got down there it was running and sounded nuts!! just ticking over it had such a rumble. I'm so glad that the noise within the engine is now not a issue and it's only the cam belt one which hopefully is easy to fix. Can't believe it though, today was the first time i heard it running in 2 years.

After all the hassle and trouble i have been through getting my car rebuilt and finally gettting some where i hear this. Keeping in mind the engine has just been fully rebuilt and is brand new. There is a noise coming from the engine. The garage who has fitted the engine and done all the work have been great and made more progress in a month than i saw in 2 years from every where else it has been. But do you remember me having problems with my crank?? the engine shop had took a chunk out of it while machining it and swore it was purely cosmetic??? well i had problems finding a garage who would rebuilding the engine with that crank. So the engine shop who machined the crank still insisted it was cosmetic and agreed they would build the engine but at a cost and no it wasn't cheap at all. So not only the engine is making noices but i'm in a awkrud position as the engine was built by another company. and i don't want it to go back there to be checked over purley because how much they messed me about. I want the garage where it is now to fix it but who pays for it etc. I really shouldn't have to.

You can get a Garage insurance which be loads cheaper. But that means you can't drive it at all.

"omg your hair is singed" Not only that i thought my arms were getting hot the burning smell was a mixture of burning flesh and hair. Youch!!!

H.I.Ds fitted and sidelights wired up
Oh right, Is it really worth doing though? as my understanding is Hid's are really good and don't really use your high beam much if at all. There is a mod on here some where so you can run both your full beam and Hid's all the time that may be a cheaper option.
-
H.I.Ds fitted and sidelights wired up
How do you upgrade the full beam to hid's aswell then?

japspeed exhaust groupbuy
Yeah that is right but so random, surely it should be the other way around, with the build up with carbon deposits you would of thought the system would quite down. Also i was sitting in a car park and a Zed was sitting there in front of me, he got in and left and was omg that sounds so cool, so i only assume it was a NA as by system is complete straight through and big cans and sounded nothing like that.
