been offered a mint engine and i need to decide pretty quick.. i was seriously thinking about the XE but then got offered the LET with software, free fitting as i know the guy.. no names mentioned yet but im going to obviously need over a grand.. not going to say the full price but its cheap!! and i know the engine has had new bottom end, timing belt, water pump etc.. hes also letting me have an m-tech mounting kit or what ever they are cheap. its going to cost ALOT of money but not as much as you would usualy pay . when its all confirmed and i can find half of the money for the engine it's self then i will start to mention names and prices hehe.
The guy whos doing it.. you can name your self if you want to and tell them all the price.. they may be jelous though.
If this all goes ahead its looking to be about the middle of summer before its running and nearly complete.. i just need to find a better job to pay for all of this.
Your thoughts please.. im feeling sick thinking about this, my girlfriend is going to lend me money still. she thinks its a bad idea but she knows i have always wanted somthing like this so shes ok with it

TBCF, with no ncb and 1.5 years experience, plus a claim against you, you'll not be able to insure it.
