I will sadly be parting with my Indy Blade this month if all goes to Plan and will be looking for a new car.

I was going to upgrade the fireblade 918 engine for a newer fuel injected bike engine with a little more power, but it was looking like it was going to cost me £5000+ so Its probably wiser I sell and buy something already done.


My budget will be between 6-10k, if you are selling or thinking of please email me on jason@ plant-i.co.uk (remove the space)
will consider all cars.



I also have a friend looking for a CEC budget (5-6.5k)
feel free to email me and I will pass them on.

Not necessarily...my engine upgrade is turning out to be much cheaper than buying a higher spec car. im even upgrading to fuel injection so a whole new fueling system.

The best idea, if you're upgrading a BEC is to source a whole bike, break it and sell anything you dont need, doing it this way my engine was almost free!
by the time ive sold off the old engine etc from the car, that will cover the costs of the new bits i need, including having sump mods, and engine cradle made etc

Im assuming your £5k figure included labour charges? thats when it becomes expensive, but if you can work a set of spanners and with the world of knowledge and help on the forum you could do most, if not all of the work yourself
