well its not to much of a prob, u know these s13 and their weak bottom ends...
I phoned chris, what a nice and helpful bloke....cost me around 500 quid for big ends and main, and a weeks notice to have it in, time to save the dosh and then ill be up for some meets, bring it on!, lol

Chris is great with the cars m8 no problems there. mine went in for the same as yours but left after i spent another 10k on it. Nothing to do with Chris just the good feed back from other members and chris telling me what the car would be able to do if i fitted this or that. If you talk to Chris he will tell you what the 200 is capable of and how much it is likley to cost you. That is the only place now i will let look at my 200.
