That flew straight over my head! Thanks though, I'll relay the message when the time comes

Can anyone else foresee the scenario where all Frank's car needs is some exhaust problem fixed, but he ends up getting a Motec rebuild because he has looked into it, just in case...?

After speding time with Frank at Spa, most definitely YES, I can see a Motec upgrade, plus other mods....needed or not!

It's amazing how many gearbox rebuild parts/labour for my works transpoter van fit the 964's.....the wife does my books and said its the most unreliable van we've ever had?......if its just the exhaust frank just don't tell her and get it done anyways, when are you likely to get a chance to blag it like this????

Em just got promoted and we've had the engine rebuild chat. Gents, please do not put those kind of ideas in my head - hadn't even considered that.

If it ain't broke - I ain't...

PS. I'm trying to convince Em that my car would be a great wedding car also (using your pic as bate) she's not so sure about the buckets + her dress.
Have you popped the question then Frank?

To be fair, the only time Karen sat in the car, on our big day was for a photo opportunity after a few drinks... don't think she was too fussed about her dress by then.

Still no word from Craig... been researching soooo many builders, the pelican parts engine build forum is insane... speaking of which I like the sound of the American guys may even work out cheaper inc shipping, Rennsport, TorboKraft...

Who knows maybe it'll just be the valves or exhaust after all this research! Fingers crossed...

I'll call Craig tomorrow at some point
