Am I being silly?

[mwmackenzie]

I might have some commission pending at work dependent on some customers signing on the line and giving me their deposits, already spending the possible income lol.........

this has caught my attention... http://classifieds.seloc.org/ads/turbo- ... arger-kit/ My car is leggy so this freshly rebuilt should add some value?

Penny for your thoughts

Silly.

Put your commission in a maintenance fund (shares ISA) and make it work for you in more ways than one.

If you want a faster Elise, buy one which was made that way by the factory.

You did ask!

its a priced a bit high i think, there was a full, very clean looking, tt260 kit on ebay not too long ago that sold at something like £700

Would you not be worried that it would do the same to your engine as the guy selling it? Isn't the K series engine a bit fragile too...I'd offer him about half £800-900 max and if he can't sell it he'll come back to you at that price

Where is the fun in that

Keep your car original and in good order if you add performance you need to start upgrading everything else too.
There's more value in your car if you keep it as it was intended - unadulterated & original (IMHO )

if its the 190 then i don't think there's much to worry about, from what iv'e heard with the 230 ( smaller pulley, same charger ) then im pretty sure you need ductile ( or banded are apparently okay ) liners and a couple of other things. the pistons that they used for them have something with the crown that needs slight modification ( unsure exactly what, a couple of folk on seloc did it with a dremel, 15 mins each piston apparently ) which causes melting etc. theres a few people that have messed about with the kits on seloc in the past, least time that 260 came up on ebay i had a good dig to find out about them but someone bought it before i got the chance to make an offer.

True, Saj. He did mention "silly"

Do you know Schoomer? He had a TT Kaboomer.

My car is already track worthy to a degree, Brakes are Pagid RS42 and EBC discs, Suspension is Gaz Gold Pro just been rebuilt by Gaz, gearbox was close ratio and is going away for a rebuild soon, not sure what else would need upgrading have a hurricane and de-cat, larrini is on the to do list regardless HGF was fixed by DVA with 633 cams too... Roof has been converted to the later short roof and has a 3 element rear diffuser so she's not really unadulterated & original

Too late, see above lol She's leggy but has a great service history though!

Mark,

I spoke to Craig about supercharging (always loved the idea, would make mine a 111ss) and he was basically "no, get a grip, it'll grenade"

Nuff said for me. I was being silly too

Bugger everybody else if you want to do it.....DO IT! Engines are repairable and replaceable.
