Cost is always gonna be an issue for people. But - when you change the whole driving characteristics of your car - you're basically getting a new one !
If the car you have is practical for your needs, good tyres, interior etc etc - I think an engine change is a great way to refresh things.
Personally - I've never kept one long enough and always had a rationale for getting a whole new car - but with the "Red Shed" - I'm thinking what next ?...
Power-wise for me a turbo really is the only way to go in terms of a change, but I'd never go down Dan's route of the whole DIY thing. But as it's a spare - I like the idea of taking it somewhere and dropping it off - to return a few weeks later and have a whole new beast !
I'd love to have an idea of costs for engine changes etc - but recognise that if deals are done, it's not always in the interests of the businesses or the individuals to disclose.
I think you've all done a great job. Car looks neat and where the builder is close and on the forum, you've always got him to go back to..... Hats off all-round.
