Picked my coupe up from Joe's aka country cruising (FCSS) last night and I have to say it feels probably the best it ever has now. Joe has been a complete star and my LE has nearly taken up residence at his work shop this year.
Joe rebuilt my engine in February/March after a broken Profec B boost controller decided to ram 2 bar of boost into the intake of my car resulting in an insane nano second of acceleration followed by the con rod snapping and exiting the block.
Joe rebuilt it with forged Rods and Accralite pistons and sorted it all out for me as I had no spare time to look into it myself. I must say I was on the verge of breaking/selling it at the time.
It has just been back to Joe's for a check over, sort a wheel bearing and fit uprated engine mounts. I drove it home last night and it feels tight, quite and nice probably the best it ever has. I have to say a big thank you to Joe and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone. He is also pretty good at correcting a 4wheel drift in the wet as I found out laugh

Yes that was fun wasn't it hehe it reminded me of driving in the wet at Spa back in 2010, but that day I end up facing the wrong way on the track sick laugh

Thanks for kind words Steve, it's been a pleasure to get this all sorted for you as I know you were on the verge of selling it to KTM when your rod first let go. It's a cracking Coupe to drive now so I hope you keep this one for a few years along with your 220 wink

I thought i'd not seen that black LE about for a while, glad to hear it's still on the road.
