Engine is slightly worn, holds boost, but i beleive the rings to be worn, has a wade 818 cam in it. was freshly built by a friend about 2 years ago, but my car has only been on the road for 6 months in that period, and very rarly driven at that. engine is basically a bare engine - no alternator/ p-s / manifolds. (although my shelfs r full of spares so i may have a part if desperate) Transmission was bought 2nd hand the same time as the engine and had only done a few thousand when i picked it up, has a stage 2 shift kit and has been "toughened" - ive had absolutly no problems with this transmission at all putting 240rwkw thru it. transmission comes with 2.5k stally and 3.2/5k stally all the gear is still in my car at the moment - so i can show the running condition of both engine and trans. $1800 as a combo or; $1200 for trans and $800 for engine sold seperatly. Transmission is comming on this monday, and the engine will only be a few days behind it! Price drop to $1500 as a combination stir-fry, or $700 for the engine, and $1100 for the trans (I can not stress enough this transmission hasn't missed a beat!) $500 FOR THE ENGINE! AT JPC NOW! PM or post here - questions, love songs, offers. thanks, -Andy EVRYTHING SOLD! THANKS GUYS.

Thanks Tones. hey mate, i wish i could tell you exactly, i remeber the guy i bought it off saying it cost close to 2.8 grand i beleive, the only reason he was selling was due to massive upgrade. If only you were in melb, i could demo the sharp shifts etc etc. ive still got the number of the place the guy got it built at, but i wouldnt really know what to say 2 years down the track lol. i can't even remeber the guys name who i bought it off, i still have a receipt from him, he took me for a drive in it in the morning, and then about 2 hours later i went and picked it up as it was being stripped at "Dyno-mite performance" and they gave me a receipt and i gave the money to them to reduce the guys bill. -Andy
