cheers mate hopefully it wont be to much longer till its running, cost of the car wasnt to bad, but the whole things turned out to be a bit more expensive than i planned.

well i might aswell let you all know the wheeler dealer total:
car incl. delivery was £1850
recon engine £2718
genuine clutch kit £326
total £4894
still gotta buy service parts so i guess its going to come in around the 5k mark.
but to put it in comparison rotechniks where i brought the engine sell rx8s for 5.5-6k with their new recon engines fitted, so ive saved a few quid in a sence.

i could have saved a grand or so with a used engine or rebuilding myself, but if i did that i would be wanting to sell the car straight away and recoup my money. way im doing it hopefuly i can have a year or two of trouble free motoring and still have a good car to sell at the end of it.
