I'm thinking of getting the engine rebuilt and need a good garage (west sussex area) to go and see and try get a quote and see what they say. Anyone know off any that aren't cowboys.

I would attempt the job myself but after the little mishaps with the oil have been put of abit.If anyone one here owns a garage in the area CRAWLEY/GATWICK way let me know.

I'm not asking for someone to do ???'s of work for free i have some money and the car itself was a steal and i want it going nice. After a few ideas really i've read the tech artical about tuning the engine but am still unsure of what i want.

Already under the bonnet

BIG valve head
Uprated oil pump
Cams (of some sort)
new plugs leads
and a litre to much of oil lol

any ideas :?:

I Live in Haywards Heath, and i know a general mechanic who doesnt charge out of the ass if you know what i mean, he says on his Business card that he does car mods, its just i phoned him up a couple of times to ask him to do a few things and he said "i dont normally do that sort of thing" and that was the end of that. but i could get you his number if you like
