You hero I love this car assuming it's the one faxo had?
Yes, that's the one.
I got home at 12.30am after stopping for petrol etc.

That was Chris' PB.

The R26 is now no longer for sale.
Apologies to those who made enquiries, I was dreading the thought of receiving an offer for the asking price so that told me selling was the wrong decision.
There's just too much time and effort gone into it to sell now so I've decided to rebuild the engine.

Good news.
Tbh I didn't think you would actually sell it.

I was going to sell it but I spoke to my Dad about it and he said I should rebuild it so that started to change my mind.

This has made me smile. I've had a w**k weekend and this has been the one of the only uplifting things I've read. Nice work mate
R26 loaded on the trailer and heading up to RS Tuning. Fingers crossed I'll get it back in a couple of months.

Looks great. Been looking at these recently.
Yes, I got to Tom's at 5am.
He says "get lost you beardy weirdy!"
The old engine is in the boot so I'll be using which ever Paul thinks is better. I'm expecting the "new" engine to have bore and head damage so won't be much use.
Differences will be boring out to 83mm if there is bore damage and the 250 hybrid instead of the R26 hybrid.
Power wise the 250 hybrid should be good for 350bhp which is more than enough for me at the moment.

Good news buddy glad to hear your keeping it.
Fingers crossed all goes well with the build at rs tuning

I'm hoping next time I'm at RS Tuning I will leave happy (unlike the previous three visits).
Thanks for trailering it up today Tom.
Having two engines didn't help but I agree it certainly isn't light :tonguewink:

Just read this from the start.
Your a braver man than I for carrying on with this, I think I'd of cried and given up.
Fair play to you and I hope it comes back from RS tuning better than ever :up:

Good luck with the build mate. I hope it comes good for you and you are back in the Meg sooner rather than later 
Brave or stupid lol?
It's too good a car to give up on. How many cars could lap everyone round an extremely wet Llandow track with a fucked turbo? :tonguewink:
My problem is I like to keep my cars for a few years and time and money I've invested means I'll keep this forever now.
Thanks Andy, and I hope the same for you and the Trophy!

Really do hope this all goes together mate.
All the best with it.

Oh. I do believe I wasn't there. Nor @Fletcher
Shame, I would have enjoyed lapping you as well :tongueclosed:
Says the person who almost got lapped at Castle Combe :tonguewink:

Lol.. you were the first car out, and had nearly done a lap before I even left the pits!

Brave words. Brave, brave words.
I'm not worried. It may be some time before the meg is lapping anyone. Albeit I hope not

It won't be too long hopefully, I said to Paul when I dropped it off that I'd like it ready for July.
I won't know for sure though until it's been stripped down but early indications are that the crank might polish up.
The Storm Grey is doing a good job in it's absence though.
