Next Update

As it was left the car is now engineless in the workshop...

...with a slab of bits removed next to it!!!

The Old heart of my car...

The Head is now done and the next stage is to start putting everything together

Excitement is reaching dangerous levels now

Cheers Sparks

they have a guard cat for each car as well?

R.I.P.S NZ · 26th March 2007, 11:19 PM

In fact we do!!!

don't mess with the black tom cat, you'll be in bits on the floor before you get the cover off!!!

RH18 · 27th March 2007, 12:58 AM

aahhh! so you guys are engine builders as well as an animal sanctuary

keep up the good work, project is looking interesting as always

sparks · 1st April 2007, 08:45 PM

Update time again....

Rob has spent the weekend working on the engine

All parts are slotting together nicely and the engine has been blueprinted, every crank journal has been ground to suit each pair of bearings and every ring gap has been individually set to suit each cylinder, Rob has explained the whole process and this is going to be a monster when it is done

Will update more as the build continues

Cheers Sparks

I find it absolutely fascinating that a Tuner keeps you so well informed and sends regular pictures and updates

WIT BLITZ · 1st April 2007, 09:08 PM

Btw looks very cool and all I hear about R.I.P.S. is good things so I am happy for you and how long have you waited so far and are you still going to have to wait till you can enjoy your car

canman · 1st April 2007, 09:09 PM

I suppose if there's nothing to hide then why not, but yeah compared to some tuners who are all secret squirrel I suppose it's a real turnup for the books.

What can I say, friendly.....it's the Kiwi way

Car left the UK in November time and the journey on the ship takes about 7 weeks, I have given Rob no time limit and just let him loose so there is no deadline !!! It will be 7 weeks back on the ship from when he is finished and satisfied , so June time maybe but I am in no rush as the work he is doing is awesome

Rob is superb at making sure that you not only get the best but that you get what you need for your build and not anything that is overkill or unnecessary. Everything is tailor made to what you are after and on top of this he explains everything that is done at every stage.

It really is a great service and I am massively happy with how it is going!!

Carnt wait to see some more pics. How much is your bill going to be?

sparks · 2nd April 2007, 03:50 PM

Bill is a running total , Rob gives you options so you can see what you can do at each stage . At the same time you know where you are with your budget !!
