I picked my car up from RK in the week after a complete engine rebuild and I am over the moon!!

I am still running the car in, and a the rate I rack up miles it'll be a few months before it is up to full power.

Ron replaced the internals with forged pistons, rods, cams, manifolds and beefed up N1 oil pump along with all the extras needed to support 500bhp on stock (steel) turbos. If any thing the engine is over spec'd, but I like doing things only once.

All in all I was pleasantly surprised at the bill, with none of that "[Gulp], here's all the credit cards I own plus a few organs" type awkward moments when presented with a bill 30% bigger than you were expecting.

All in all I did not think such a spec was possible on such a realistic budget.

Many many thanks Ron!!!!

He's a quite guy who refreshingly does not have to blow his own trumpet, but has been around since the begining.
