Damn motor will just have to hold for another month orso, then its building the forged engine time... so im going to fix this the pikey way, new bearings, new oil and hopla! boost the f**k out of it on 0.6 bar woehahhahaaha

its either try this, spend some time and 50 euros on bearings and maybe get to drive it for a while or put it away and leave it as is and try again next year.

So im trying option 1... weve got nothing to loose + im in my vacation time and im bored anyways

Well, put in some new bearings, car ran good for about a min of 10 and then started to make the same annoying sound again.... so parked it in the barn and for now im done with it.

Slowly going to start with the forged engine build, and well see again next year.

Hahahaa

told you im stubborn Hahahah

dont give up mate.

Shame to hear that mate

Echo the others though, dont give up on it. Yes its very testing to your patience, f**king up after all the hard work/time/money gone into it, but for that reason, its stupid to get rid!

Leave it a few days and see how you feel

Uhmm i enjoyed building/searching for nice parts and hanging around working on the car with Marvin a lot.
Making a car nice, adding the personal touch is what i enjoy the most out of doing projects, and altough now only i spun a bearing which isnt a big issue i dont want to think about building the forged engine, dropping this engine, removing gearbox etc etc etc.

I dont know if this feeling will change in a few weeks, the car wont be getting any better from standing another year in the barn.

If got a few bids from people, which still and Obvious arent anywhere near what i spend, but maybe its just time to let it go.

I know when starting a project like this things dont Always go as they suppose to go, but almost everything we did, there went something wrong.

Also i was aiming for 400BHP + , dont know why that figure was in my head, and if the clutch hadnt played up we would easily achieved that, but now that ive driven the car with 350/360bhp i almost think that is more then enough really.
Its quick enough to blow the doors off of almost 99% of the cars you encounter on the road, handling is superb from a 6 which i didnt expect to be honest.


Ill have to think things over, without Marvin i could have never done this project since he knows peugs in & out.

Im sure if i would break it , i would get a decent amount of money back,since there are some really nice parts on the car and everthing is done nicely and good.

well just have to see, thankyou all for the support and nice comments... its been a hell of a project in just a couple of months.

It isnt worth the hassle for only a month fun, end of summer is coming, this car is useless when the roads get damp, i had wheelspin in 4rd gear on the way home from DP only from looking at the gaspedal (rain)

Geez im beginning to sound like a b*tch, lol

lol, pm me your offer.... '

A smack on the gob! There's my offer now finish your project!

As an affluent southerner I'd like to double the bid to £20
