Makes sense to do the rods on the cambelt change , i had a little think about it myself before i took mine to birchdown , but the cost would also need a clutch and smf , and we all know the problems with the flywheel and light , but paul could also sort the dash light
so it was 500 pound vs 2000+ pound , was well over my budget

got my 5yr service end of the year too expensive times!
how much are the arch liners roughly? both my rears are shot
Arch Liners are £27 (OSR) and £28.50 (NSR) from Ads. Not cheap considering they're just crappy plastic.

Well I think I'm just going to park the idea of the rod-change for now. I think a 5 year service, cambelt, front end re-fresh and all new fluids is probably enough for now!
I like the idea of having the rods done but at the moment I don't have any immediate plans to take it higher than the 275/300 it's already got so think I'll wait till I've got bigger injectors and Sports Cat in so I can actually push it upto 300/300.

So, the cars in today for it's 5 year service, front end refresh, MOT and spa day experience at Birchdown.
It's technically not 5 years old till January 2013 but I'd got fed up of trudging down to Birchdown in the snow and crap so i've bitten the bullet and brought it forward 4 months. This winter, it shall not see salt, of that i'm determined.
So by the end of tomorrow I expect to be significantly poorer but have a Meg ready to face the next 5 years (of sitting in the garage ). Having said that, Birchdown are doing a cracking price for all the work which somewhat softens the blow.
As a bonus, i've got their little Clio as a loan car till tomorrow. I'm gutted that it's stereo is better than my uprated R26 one!

End of an era today gents. This afternoon my R26 was sold to a very nice gent from Cumbria.
Some of you will know him as the man, myth and legend that is Scutch.
He'll be on here soon enough i'd have thought but in the meantime enjoy him dude. Sad to see him go (the car, not Neil!). :yes:
Guess this is where the blog ends so cheers to anyone who bothered to read it.

Sorry to hear it, this thread was a great read.
What car you moving onto?
Feck knows. Think Scutch is up near Carlisle. Cleator Moor?
He'd best keep it bloody clean otherwise i'll be re-taking custody!
Yeah just down the road from me! No doubt it will be kept mint!
