Cheers lads for the space and the help yesterday.

My car engine head was slightly damaged and wouldnt run emmisions for IVA and need a engine change, so i travelled down from newcastle too harrogate to change engine which was fine until i lifted engine out and realised i needed a spigot bearing, after ringing around we found one in north allerton, so i did the 2 hr round trip to get it and when i got back marc and MNR owner ian, where helping my dad finish off and fit engine.

Big thanks, hope that gets me through IVA

great stuff mate, saw the car a while back and it looked more or less ready!

glad to help chris.hope you get on the road soon

Good to hear your back on with getting the car sorted.

Was a bit touch and go for a few months! No one knew if you'd managed to sort it not.

Pleased to know things are on the up for you.

Glad to see go for it. Almost done with my Zetec in California. Haltech ECU Will send videos of MNR at Laguna Seca

Thanks for the help and inspiration you guys gave me.
It has been a long road. 2 boys in college full time job House remodel by me and the boys...

It will be worth it.

I am exempt from emissions here in California.
First 500 cars first of year get an exemption.

75 degrees F here today in San Diego

my car would have been a 06 model if it wasnt for emmissions!

Chris emailed from MNR saying its passed emmissions at daytuners so going back to IVA on 26th/27th.

Good luck with the IVA, lets hope its on the road for next summer.
