yeah bummer u werent in qld mate. id help in an instant, got an engine hoist n all.

Seeing as so many people to an interest in the thread I thought I would add a little update..

After a lot of thought, adding up pros and cons of different options and trying to work out a actual figure I have to spend and talking to the boys at BTA they offered me a 2011 G6E Turbo complete engine with 7000ks at a price I couldn't say no too.. So hopefully sometime real soon my engine will be ripped out, they can drop that in (with whatever modifications are needed) and add on whatever fast bits I can afford with a tune, hoping for a comfortable and reliable 350rwkw and be back on the road faster and stronger then it was :D

I just wanna say a big thanks to the guys at BTA for helping me out and to everyone on here for their advice and offers of support and help, it means a lot. I will have to start another thread in the members rides section to keep the updates and pics flowing as it progresses.

Sounds great mate. Have to tip the hats off to them at BTA giving you a hand with it all. Can't wait for a progress thread and see some pics :D

Hope the health is good and this car takes the thoughts away from it all and throws a smile on the face when its all done

Ali strikes again. Top bunch down there.

He bends over backwards for ANYONE.

He was tuning my car at midnight on its last tune

Even let me annoy the crap outta the boys in the workshop

Fed me lunch. Gave me a loan car.

Cant praise this guy enough.

Id give my first born to be able to work for this guy !

Sounds like a good guy and a good tuner, well done fella's.

Hows your car going quadie, got an airbox/plenum yet?

Yeah 4" box and new turbo on. Just gotta get time to visit ali and trim up the tune for the new mods
