  1. Scoobyclinic are right on your doorstep and can supply anything you need. Other thing is are you going to build it yourself or get someone to? not the simplest of engines to build, need to make sure all tolerances are right etc etc (I may be preaching to the choir here but better to say and not need, than not say and need)
  2. welcome, shiney shiney
  3. get it to a specialist. A dealer will plug in, scratch their heads and have no clue.
  4. Interior will seems pretty cheap by comparison no mater which you go for. I went from and M3 to a hawk and you could tell it wasn't anywhere near the comfort level
  5. you called :D lol Built right they are awesome :) but out the factory they are pants :( and that was on low boost :D My type R now has a 2.5 conversion in it as well :D O and welcome lol
  6. Subtle mate, subtle,,, hahaha
  7. Unless i'm not remembering right, but im pretty sure the pictures on CA's adverts are the same building and locations as Clives use. Given how often they change there name is a good bet.
  8. walk away from anything in bradford. i noticed clives performance has changed name again ca performance or summit like that
  9. Fair enough, weekend toy classic RA would be the best, but not ideal for a daily. For that sort of money blob widetrack would prob be your best option, borderline JDM money
  10. Strange, even at 400 mine didnt after the filter was sorted. although was a hawk to be fair
  11. Lets go back a stage a mo/ Is it gonna be a daily drive or weekend toy? Do you specificly want a hawk cos you like it or was thats cos where the budget seemed to be?
  12. welcome
  13. As said problem with the 2.5 is head gasket and ring lands. You can check at the time there ok, but nothing stopping them from failing 10 miles later. Personally if i was going for a hawk sti i would budget to drop in a set of decent pistons and rods, headgasket and head bolts. Takes away all the issues they have, but doesnt come cheap (prob 3k-4 Assuming all other parts are ok.)
  14. Is it still running the standard turbo? shouldn't be getting fuel surge till way further up the power level
  15. how long they been on? does look more superficial rather than serious
  16. wish my clutch was that cheap hahahaha
  17. I've seen a few at high millage, Typicly associated with det though
  18. any car can. Failure rate on the 2.5 is just massively high by comparison. I'd want to find the cause before rebuilding. also need to check the block to see if its warped or ovaled etc
  19. Does bugger all mate, not worth the money. Theory sounds good but doesn't do anything in the real world. Casing isn't the issue. Andy forrest was running uprated gear kit in a normal casing for a while with no issues. and that's not exactly subtle treatment it would have received lol Options are uprated gearkit or 6 speed
  20. welcome
  21. Welcome.
