Plenty of good ones around still. This would be my preffered option

they say that until you claim!


All calls are recorded by the companies, and that recording should be as good as having written down on paper.

Yeah but you're talkingabout insurance companies...when it comes to paying out, if its not written in triplicate, signed by 8 JP's, a Dr and 3 imported shamen, then they'll weasel out of paying.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

But they have the recording.... Not you. So I bet it "doesn't exsist" if the contents will be in your favour

I'm planning a 6 month or so engine build as i'm at uni at the moment, don't have too much spare time, a GZE may be on the cards, however, sourcing a reasonable condition GZE motor maybe a little more trickier than a low km blacktop.


If your going to be rebuilding it then just rebuild your stock engine with gze pistons

Dont waste your money on a silvertop, been there done that, didnt go any better than the stock bigport till i got it all re-wired with the blacktop ecu/map sensor etc.

I'm slowly building a fresh blacktop motor with minor mods (silvertop rods, port matching/smoothing etc) to go in there in place of the silvertop.

Bin the p/s and a/c while you have everything out, good way to shed some weight (and tone the arm muscles :D)

As much as I want it to be fast, I also want it to be comfortable :wink:
