No need to be smart with the chap,he was refering to the actual work.
Wind your neck in and get that chip off your shoulder there Paddy, i was not being smart with anyone. There is no point in me saying i've spent X amount, when Marco wanted to know Y amount instead, savvy?
Ok, make it simple.
1st, how much have you spent on the whole car?
2nd, how much have you spent on the new parts for the 400bhp project?
give people an idea of what they need to bdget it they plan a mental re-build!
1. Approx 12k (could be more)
2. Not entirely sure, but would guess it is getting to around 8k mark, maybe more, I've not sat down to work all the costs out, but it's something like this:
New crank and shells - £450
CP Pistons - £500
Rods - £80 and then £200 refrub
Spare block - £100
Flex hone - £80
Cams - £600
Various GC work - Not to be published.
Spesso Head gasket - £190
Helix 6 paddle clutch - £600
Vernier pullies - £190
Exhaust manifold - £450
GT3076 Turbo - £650
Tial 38mm Ext Wastegate - £110
Motec M48 Pro - £800
New engine gasket set - £60
2nd fuel pump, lines and external fittings - £250

Im sure there is other things, but can't think of them off the top of my head, but that lot add's up to over 5k for a start
