Good place for an engine rebuild???

[DomWhite]

Im still looking for my motor(god there is some shit out there:rant: )

Most I have seen have been round the block. I have about 4K to spend on mods and I think one of the first things is to make sure its all working properly. I have thought about doing the rebuild myself, but my knowledge is not flawless:cry:

Are there any decent places down here? All the ones I have found have been a bit of a trek away.


Also going to be taking a trip up to see Bren @ Apex in Novemberish if anybody needs anything brought down, im taking a van!

Cheers

There are two main places where everyone seems to have their engines rebuilt. One is APT over near Norwich if I remember correctly, the other is Norris Designs in Swindon. They will both rebuild you a very very good engine with uprated parts if you want.

Heres the Norris designs prices:

If your not interested in a fast road engine then you'll probably find a smaller place nearer to Bournemouth will do an alright job for less money.

In that case, I'd recommend PTS :notworthy - they did my engine rebuild last year - fantastic job :thumbs:

APT - Norris build good engines but it'll take years and if you have an issue under their warranty it'll probably take twice as long again! :smash:

It's got different wheels since those pictures, and is going back to PTS on Monday for a big brake upgrade :eek:

You have savings?? :eek: Just tell Uncle Chris at PTS and he will happily advise you of all the fantastic things you should be doing to your car and therefore, how to spend it :wack:

I've got Wolfrace Ikon Plus rims, that I bought off this board, in May this year.

We wanted 17" rims as a preference over 18", as tyres are cheaper and we reckon they look better :nod:

Here's how she looks now...

err - if you mean the videos on the PTS website, then you mean Mambastu's car (which has a Skyline Twin Turbo engine :D) and yes, it is :notworthy

Why not bring the missus down to the meet, I'm the only girlie that goes at the moment! Could do with some more support :wack:
