Back From Rebuild

[Suspense]

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.

White R33?

I think I saw your car at MRC when I was there a few weeks ago getting a few things done. Glad to hear that the results are good.

I can also vouch for Mark. He's a very easy going, down to earth bloke who does good work for a reasonable price.

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.

If you don't mind me asking, how much did the rebuilt cost?

Also, how long did it take?

Yeah i was wondering too how much an average rebuild costs. As i'm continually paranoid that my engine will die

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.
