No mate drive it daily! I work in Manchester so always passing Radcliffe and Whitefield area.
Will keep an eye out for yours and think I'll have to bully you off my patch :smilingimp:
I'm thinking Engine Dynamics, but I still need to source a replacement engine for them to rebuild and also get the car down to them. Trying to piece everything together and get as much info as possible before going ahead!
I've already been in talks with EFI about getting it done but nothing has been set in stone just yet. Engine Dynamics did mention they could get the mapping done but I didn't know if they did it in-house or not. Are they renowned for good mapping?
I'm looking at getting an engine rebuild (as you may know by now) and a set of upgraded, aftermarket cams put in there.
I want some that are suitable for daily use but will give a little more power when going for it. I also want a set that won't break the bank!
I don't really know much about...
Mine has lived on a track all its life so I suppose it was bound to happen sooner rather than later! I don't think 120k is the cut off point, but fitting a used engine in my car will always be (or at least feel like) a gamble.
It's either that or have the hassle of another one going pop a few years down the line and being in this same situation now.
It wouldn't be as bad if I could fit an engine myself confidently, I'd just bang a second hand one in but it's the hassle of the whole situation that I could do without...
Due to work rewriting all the duties at short notice, I would have been off and happy to attend. But of course I will be working all day now so won't be able to make it.

All I'm thinking with the rebuild is that my engine has got to 111k before going pop, which is still low mileage for its age. If I put one from another 182 in that's done, say, 80k - I might have another 30-40k out of it if I'm lucky.
If I put a rebuilt one in there I may get 130k out of it and...
I'd love to get my own rebuilt but I can see that won't happen after reading advice on here. If I can pick up another one cheap, they all seem to be on 90-100k like mine was so that's why I'm thinking of a rebuild.
The last thing I'd want is to get a second hand engine, pay to get it all...
