Oh hell no, these are photos my mechanic >> emailed me during the course of the rebuild...... Absolute best customer service I have EVER experienced... EVER. Of course, I don't know what the quality of work is like first hand, yet. Apart from him fitting a starter motor for me not long ago - but that all seemed good.But judging by the amount of Z's in his workshop and the many years racing and engineering experience he tells me about - I'm expecting the work to be pretty spot on... Of course, I'll let everyone know what it's like when I get her back... =) :-Z
Good stuff Ty, i know what you mean about... the wait, i dropped of my car at Nissport today and looking forward to getting it on Friday! Next Tech day there will be alot to talk about, heheMax
yes i did..... i also added something to it, so it will go quicker (look for the turbos) hehe.The engine looks great, bigger valves?Max
