My car...

Well as many of you probably don't know/care, i blew the bottom end of my golf about 2 months ago and ITS STILL NOT SORTED! but is getting there. Basically engineering firms in Lincolnshire translates to 'farmers with 3 or more O levels' and have been fcucking about for 4 weeks!! Took 3 weeks for a re-grind crank and bearings and shells made up and now, been the observent farmers engineers that they are they didnt check the conrod length!? so my lower compression rod has now been sent back to have a little billet n fillet to drop the piston 2mm and its now been 5 days.... great!

Cant wait to get her back though! Gonna be sweeeeeeeeeeet. But 1000 miles of 'carefull' driving is needed to settle in the bearings (boohoo!)

Thanks for the time, sam

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
