Hi Mir, I had seen your advert but couldnt PM you. No specific budget, and would depend on the car. Have you got a spec and images of yours you could send over?? Could you send them any info you have to luke.yeomans@bestfordiy.com

haha yeah I do like the Exige. Its a great second car, and quick enough, but runs out above 140, and theres something about that rotary sound that a K20 doesn\'t even come close to!! its 365bhp at the fly so im not always looking for more power, just character :)

I know what you mean... owning an FD and just sold a 20B engine that was supposed to go in. Just couldn\'t cope with the idea of investing a sh$tload of money in ECu, transmission conversion etc etc to know that if something breaks the centerplate would set me back another couple grands....

I settled for the idea I wanted something affordable, relatively easy oto rebuild/repair and most of all drive and have fun. (which I haven\'t even managed with my 13b over the last 4 years). As much as I love the FD and rotary, If i would be allowed by Belgian law to drop another motor with 400-450hp in, I would in a hartbeat. On another note...as good as the FD drives (with the 13b) it will never be a match for the Exige platform.
