and bought a Faultmate MSV-2 Extreme today...collected it from RPi directly as they're in Norwich and I'm based here for a while. Can't wait to get it operational....was going to order from Blackbox themselves, (about a tenner cheaper or thereabouts from Blackbox) but they wanted a bank transfer to post it to my Norwich address as its not my registered credit card address and I was a bit uncomfortable about that. While at RPi saw the Coscast blocks and strongly considering having the work done to change the block to a Coscast rather than buying a new car.
I reckon a major spruce-up and overhaul including the Coscast block will still be a lot cheaper than buying a newish L322 / Audi Q7 / VW Touareg or whatever else - around the £5K-ish mark for new engine, new rad, new mounts, Koni Shocks (what a great drive they are - tried it out today).
Beats £25K+ on a 4 year old supercharged L322, or even £15K+ on a lower spec L322 by a loooong way, and you know exactly what has been done and how well its been done.
Would you spend a bit on a P38 like this if keeping it long term or would you buy something new???? Sensible thoughts please or not, as you please
