M20 flywheel and starter are the way to go. Much cheaper than having an M50 dual mass machined down. I expect you have but hopefully you've got the throttle body with your 325 inlet otherwise it's useless. You'll also want to look at your PCV pipes when you're in there as they can suck a lot of low end out of it.

Do NOT use this company to make anything for you. My favorit suspension, custom made, was completely botched. Out several hundred pounds for suspension that does not do anything that I asked of them, and extremely hard to contact once they had my money. Absolutely avoid at all costs, one of the worst experiences I have ever had in the car world, and I'm in the trade...

what was the bad experience? Can't have been that bad I'm sure - Jorily has always managed to resolve issues to everyones satisfaction that I'm aware of If it was postage I'd hardly think that was a bad thing. Twice recently Jorily has done next day delivery for me on urgently needed items, still stayed cheaper than anywhere else and been very good about it really. Servicing items seem to always be in good stock and I can't think of a single time I've not had a prompt delivery on them, nor any of the other Skoda people I know??

do it now. I'll sell you a stripped down rapid shell to do it and all, and then I can buy one that already has an engine and save myself lots of hassle

you'll get it sold alll right then! You'll take the total of on-the-road orange estelles with vinyl roofs to a total of approx... TWO

I cant do nasal, I have a broad Ulster accent and y'know, the reason I'm in the SOC and get on with the other members I've met is because as long as the car is OTR and not being abused/scrapped/left for dead, it's all good. Even the ones used for trialling are cool!

did about 40 miles in 30 minutes, and I stopped for petrol and again for a phonecall. Faster than the speed of sound, mine is.

working on keeping it in the country too I hope? I really, really hope it gets saved. I'd suggest checking with one of three people to post in this thread, namely DaveRapid, Skofast or Skudman. between them they will know pretty much every genuine restoring-minded Skoda fan in England or CZ, where the likely potential buyers live. That way you can ensure it isn't stripped of bits and scrapped. There are just a handful of them left; adding another one is a big smile moment for a few of us ^see?

flairline came with alloys...

it's the same 'box :rotz: and they are very tough boxes. properly tough. no matter what anyone thinks - either they aren't treating the car right or they've only had a broken one! your engine wont be at fault. Misaligned shafts had come to my mind but to be honest that would be pretty hard to do. If you suspected that, the most likely cause would be accident damage, so I would be inspecting the inner wings looking for accident damage on a front corner. and a good mount will help no end. once fully sorted, you can expect wonderfully peaceful boxes. it is a modern car, with modern noise tolerances. i.e. quiet. Even my favorit mk1 box was pretty quiet after I snapped the selector ...

you will need to replace the head gasket but I would think that if you haven't had any problems driving it until these two times, the head will be ok. and that is an easy job and will cost about 35 euro to do, or 150 euro in a garage.

well, i'm glad you're keeping that and putting it into good order! I'd be compulsively forced to get it if offered lol. from what you're describing it does sound just like a totally standard 136 sport. which is wonderful, as many were robbed of their tuning parts and the bodykits, and the last ten years haven't been kind to the numbers due to rust pockets and high scrap prices! Nevertheless I'd possibly be interested in the offside front type wheels - got the centre caps too?

pic of engine as said, location, price, time frame when it has to be collected by. not a hard car to find interest for!

in a 95 felicia, not even a problem! are they the same part? no. will they fit perfectly? yes.

You would need to know your mobile number before you could start texting though!
