What should I do with my engine?

[Rhys]

Hey guys,

As some of you may know I'm upgrading to an fsze so i'm now going to have a spare fpde sitting around doing nothing...

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do with it/does anyone want it or any parts from it?

Polish the block and make it into a coffee table, fill the bores with frosted glass and light it with LEDs.

Id use the coilpack relocation thingy on the new engine, otherwise Ebay it.

Im gonna have the same problem when I get my engine swapped over. Prolly ebay it for cheap *shrug*

That'd be insanely cool but I don't know if i'd be keen to pull it apart by myself... anyone willing to help with this idea?

I was under the impression the other coilpacks were better?

Hmmm, your coilpacks are located on the front of the engine yes?

Put It into my wreck which you can have for free and there you go, a big gokart!

And here is somthing Brian MP5T has prepared earlier



Could just leave the head on (cleaned up of course) for a bit more height?

haha I have the feeling it would be a mission to get it to fit into that shell.

Yeah that'd be epic but what rupe said with the led's in it as well would make an awesome addition. It may not get me laid but it would definitely upgrade my manbrand.

[Clean_Cookie]

I'll do the leds. I know what youre like with electronics, and 240v is dangerous, even if its contained in a regulator haha.

[Rhys]

Awesome! sounds like a plan to me. Well if anyone wants any of the other parts from the engine, let me know. It's all in good working order

[Rupewrecht]

If you've got the room, it'd almost be worth using two engine blocks - one at each end of the glass top. Seeing as there'll be a few engines floating around LOL

[phildough]

I have a matching 1.8 engine sitting at home.
I think I still have my glass table top as well.

Sell the engine. Always some BJ owners dropping VICs butterfly screws at some point.

If some one out there is stupid enough to want to buy my old engine they can go ahead.
FS: QLD : One slightly water damaged 1.8. Still worked last time it was tried.
Has been sitting for a year in back yard unloved.
