	I am friends with dave who is partner in v tuning, One of the nicest and most honest reliable guys i know. he wont set you up for anything the car doesnt need and will give you a warranty on the engine. he has done endless rebuilds and phase kits with friends in the vxlscc and every1 of them has never had troubles. Very reputable guy and il guarantee will be one of the best people you will ever deal with.

	quote: Originally posted by MoNkEy MaGiC they quoted around the £1000 mark for a full rebuild of C16xe, including... - Rebore with new pistons/rings - New gaskets and seals throughout - New timing gear/belt and water pump - New shells and bolts (ARP's can be fitted if required) - All labour to carry out the above work and remove and install from car what you think??? sounds a bit pricey to me!! but they meant to be very good reliable company??? :thumbs: There is a good £600+ of parts in there. So £400 to remove, rebuild, and refit an engine isn't that bad, not when you consider what people pay just for the remove and refit when putting an C20 in.
