ive had a crank reground after my oil pump broke on dyno first time around , when i got it checked it was slightly bent from it being re grinded all documented in my built thread, there is a seller on mig called 8v craig who sells parts and he will guarantee that crank is mint or he will not sell it

Surely that's just bad luck though iv had loads of cranks ground on engines iv built for customers in work and these are engines that are in cars some of which are worth £500,000 + if re grinding was that risky we along with many others wouldn't be doing it, I'm by no means saying your wrong but I wouldn't just "bin" that crank and buy another when there's a good chance it could go again

I made it up myself. It's a carbon GSI splitter and a astra Vxr lower carbon splitter. I cut and shapped the bottom part, the screws with black screws from underside to fix together

I'm with you on what you just said Tom the intercooler dominating the front of the car is a no for me stealthy look suits better personal preference though
