Hello again! All the best with the project. After breaking them you'le know how they go together!
Tip. Save the head & cambox from the 2.7 & recon it for yours. It will go better! :)

You didn't confess the engine rebuild as well Sean! :?


It's going to be interesting to see if I have any more problems with the engine. It took 3 strip downs to solve the issues last time and they weren't sure which components solved the problem.

How many years do you have to keep it for Sean? Mind you the wife's Corolla Co. car hasn't been a paragon of virtue & that has only done 50K but goes at the end of the year at 3 years old. Gearbox rebuild, new clutch, new turbo & various other engine issues. The crash damage repair is all Beckys though :mrgreen:

Aha, so you bought Dan's 944. Welcome again, and I'm sure you'll make something of his car :).

3 years or 120,000 miles, I'm trying to re-negotiate the lease as I'm going to be about 50k shy of the target.

Like you, I am also on PCGB and praised Dan for not dressing his car up like a mutton unlike a number of people out there.
