Ah yes, it seems every person who's done serious engine work has one of them stories. Makes it obvious why people are going back to doing everything themselves and why tuners go bust.

Yep, altho i bet its fairly rare to hear of a motor going back for a refresh, only for the "tuner" to remove £1000 worth of upgraded parts and replace them with stock parts :angry:
i found out 2 years later only after setting multiple new PB's due to chassis upgrades, and if it wasnt for me wanting to add a few extra parts to the motor without paying the labour charge......... i probably wouldnt of found out :angry::thumbdown:

Just finished reading it all and I love it.
2 questions though, what are the pot like things hanging near the nos bottle in some of the stripped pics?
And the brake discs look so weak! Can't believe they wold actually work! (Not doubting they do, just an observation more than anything)

The 2 pots in question, 1 is a remote gas cylinder for the rear shocks compression damping, and the other is a screw type hydraulic preload adjuster. a better pic can be seen here
