Title: Booked in for rebuild... Anything to add?...
Post by: Kevin on May 18, 2007, 03:13:01 PM
Well it\'s seems like it\'s taken forever but my car is finally booked in with Pip @ WGT on the 2nd of July.  Quite impressed as they offered to pick the car up from my home, which saves me aload of hassle, mind you im only about 30 miles away from them anyway.

Anyway it\'s booked in for a full rebuild with street port.  I\'ve got a koyo radiator coming from Japan in the next week or so to go in along with my PowerFC.  Now my question is while the cars having all of this done, is there anything else worth asking them to do?

I\'ve thought of a couple of things such as:

1.) Replacing the vacuum lines with silicon hoses
2.) Cleaning the injectors

But is there anything else which is going to be of use to me to get done?

(My ultimate goal is for about 400rwhp in the future (when I go single), but for now im happy with the twins.)

Its £3,000 + vat.  I think thats based on worst case scenario though, i.e. replacing rotor & housings etc.
