Just thought i might say i picked up my car from MRC 2 weeks ago, after getting a rebuild.

More than happy with the wrok carried out and the service privided by MRC in castle hill and i would highly recommend him to everyone here.

The pistons used were ACL mahle, and they are extremely quite. And the difference in the engine is astounding.

Although i have only done just over 1000km on the new engine, i would say he has done an excellent job with the car.

doing around 6000km's on mineral oil... @ stock boost levels.

apart from that dont thrash the shit outta it, and vary your revs a bit for the first 1000km.

From what Mark was telling me, I think it was around $6.5k...I'm not sure if that also included the hi-flow turbo???

Suspense will be able to clarify.

      Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!

      Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup

      Ha ha ha! I know those feels mate I've finally got the garage cleared enough that next weekend I'll do some actual work on my car (hopefully). Unfortunately garage isn't usable after 10am at the moment That said, I've done a lot of work this weekend on helping finalise a friend's Production Race car. Full started Christmas Eve. We're down to about 8 tasks on the list, including "get a wheel alignment". Sometimes it's just easier working on someone else's car or project than our own stuff 😛

      Ha ha, ended up going it alone.  I just sent it (in a very nervous fashion).  Once I'd released the locks and it didn't automatically start spinning out of control i felt a bit more confident.   It made some loud sounds (cracking and creaking noises) when I first spun it which got the heart rate going again!  I couldn't bring myself to leave it tipped on the side.  I feel a bit more comfortable having back right side up while it sits there. I'd get angry with your last point but you're 100% correct! 😅 Even yesterday I managed to distract myself at numerous times to make a bracket to fit an LED flood light off the back of the house and fix my sons pushbike.  There were other little taks nibbling at my brain for the rest of the day too...

      Probably one of the more nerve wracking experiences of my entire life! 😂😂 The balance (centre of gravity) is out still but in a direction that gives me comfort!   It's quite bottom heavy still meaning it takes a bit of muscle to rotate it.  The plus side of that is that it wants to to go back to upright.  Better that than wanting to go all stranded turtle on me!
