yup, an independent will charge about £550 for it, bm around £7-800 i think.
just think.. i bought a bm for reliability, it's costing more then the rx7 did and that never broke!!!

i should have stuck to jap cars. I'm now thinking of repairing selling, buying another EG VTi, deck it on some 15's no exterior mods
just something fun to caine around
stick some wild cams in it and sort breathing and leave it.
but back to topic can anyone help ?

my m8 got himself a 325i (straight 6)
HG went on that, he had to pay near 800 for it to be sorted

unlucky mate, u don't seem to be having much luck at the min.
Have a go yourself if your confident but remeber you'll have to do the cambelt as well the HD and being a BM 6 can't imagine it being an easy job.
good luck mate

Sounds like a good plan 
If you want uber fun, throw in a h22 from a prelude into a DX (lightest) EG.... low 14s easy, high 13s if you're good. Less hassle than tuning a B-series, and much more torque

well it's the cost of gettin the H22A and fitting it mate and all the breaks driveshafts etc..! especially on a dx, gon cost a fortune jus thinkin of a cheap good engine EG, lowered and some 15's won't cost much
