Engine dead... what would you do?

[andysmee]

Most of the engine builders on here will likely help you to swap the engine for a used one if you ask them. For example, when I was looking for an RX originally, Rotechniks had a nice 95M reg car with an original engine. They offered to put in a recently rebuilt engine for me in order that they could use the old engine as a spare for people in your situation. They offered me an upgrade price (effectively) of about £1500 for a rebuilt engine or a price for a street ported engine at the time of buying the car.
 
I guess you\'ve already tried this route with the engine builders known on this forum. Hope you find a cheap option to keep your car on the road

Atomic is looking into the whole racing with a sunroof thing.

He suggested putting it up for sale in the mean time etc.
