@nitin_s1 If I did, they'd come with me :) Anyways, that type S is off the market so will be sticking with mine for now at least.

If I fix the leak & spend some money on fun stuff for it I may start liking it again

Whats not to like? Is it the fact that you KNOW there are 11:1 comp pistons out there??

:lol: that's part of it. I know the arches are rusty too. I was soooooooooooooooooooooooo close to having 11:1 pistons. The were with Rich when he took the motor apart, it's only because he's a good engine builder I didn't. Basically the piston faces were all to jobby and we didn't have time to get a new set ordered in before the build was done :cry:

Thing is, there will always be faster/more powerful. Rich has just posted up of another 270hp 195lb ft lude he's done, and I find myself wanting it lol. Even though we discussed that option at length and I decided against it, and I do LOVE my car, I think it's just the curiosity.
