I could be in for this as will prob going from notts anyway...but it all depends on if/when the car is done -

Sorry Kev, mine should take priority as mines a daily

Yeah i know 2.9 was pushing it a bit and i suppose its done 160K on the same block so a good innings really
-
What is it about Storms they must be cursed, my block on my VR is knackered beyond repair (Bored out to the oversized piston size but theres still damage to 2 of the bores) unless i go forged pistons which Stealth have advised me not to. So luckily they have a 2.8 block on the shelf that getting stripped down checked and sent to the machinist to get rebore to the oversized piston size. Bad luck these Storm models lol
-
Bad news on the bottom end rebuild front, the block went off to get rebored to fit the new over sized pistons. They've rebored the block but there is still some damage to the bores so if they were to bore out more only Forged pistons would fit (stealth said thats not a good idea). So a 2.8 is on the shelf so thats going off to the machinist to get bored out to the oversized pistons. Also in 2008/09 when i had the chains/head rebuilt originally done at PSI tuning they said that the head needed skimming so off it went to get skimmed etc this went down on my bill as Cost to recondition head - £265.00 Now you would think that when you get a head rebuilt that the valves would be changed aswell. Well apparently no the head is in a bit of a state really and only shows signs of the valve stem seals being replaced. So Stealth are putting new valves in aswell now.

Nice vid mate compared it to the oulton park one and you can see how much better the car handles less bodyroll and looks a hell of a lot more planted
