Seemed like a good idea at the time......

I will need a motor when I take the R off the road as im selling my surf, not decided yet whether a rasheen is right for me

Depends whether or not you want the same set of problems as the R

And you will lose ant street cred you might have had..   

Bob, whoever gets theirs done first, yours will definitely be a LOT faster than mine.  

Its a pulsar chassis but with sexier body panels elliot

In fairness, 8 years of R ownership hasn't been too bad. Don't suspect ringland failure in a rasheen, it doesn't produce enough power to do any damage   

John next you'll be having spray tans to match bob, hang your head in shame for purchasing such a horrendous motor

Nooooo! not the spray tan.   

I actually really like this one.. I'd drive that .
The Almera gti alloys really look Good on it

Thanks, That's the first nice thing anyone has said about it..

Ahem, I stated I liked it. Do agree with Rob, those alloys do look smart   

Think stealth look with funky engine& rest stock   

I also like it john .... its just quirky motor ...   

They remind me a bit of the Jeep Renegade.

This I prefer the look of mine tho.   
It's a 1999 model 2.0L SR20DE with 100,000 k on the clock.
Automatic (I think all the 2L ones are) and a sun roof.
Cost £650 to buy
  ..

Can't believe you got it for that price .
Looks in such good condition

Also just noticed it's an auto
So sr20de will have the same block as an sr20det ?
Automatic turbo'd rasheen

My one that I'm converting is an auto too
I did wonder what the auto box would be able to take as no one to my knowledge has ever tried it with big power
I'm wondering if you fitted a big cooler for transmission fluid if it would last, may be more reliable than a manual

And I love the car too john, but guess I would say that seeing as I've got 2 of the boogers so slightly biased lol

Looks like I might have to try leaving the auto box in and see what happens. I know Bob's got a spare if I blow it up..  

Good to see a few words in its favour.
Just heard it's due to arrive 1st August..  

At this rate our Essex meets will have to include the rasheen oc   

you got the rasheen yet john?

being nosey but are you planning on running this with the auto box or fitting a manual to her?

Definitely should convert it into a manual john you know it ll drive better& leave bob with his crazy auto pulsar ideas, be interested to see how much abuse the auto box takes though..

FINALLY.. The boat came in a couple of days ago and I'm getting it home tomorrow.   

Undecided about the box but as I'm unlikely to go over about 270bhp I might just leave the auto on it and see what happens.  

Nice one John, bit overdue but at least it got here

Yeah will be interesting to see what power the auto box can take

Glad it's all arrived, yours will definitely be done before mine as it's still stuck on the lift, no time to do anything with it at the mo   

First pictures.
All Looks good Have to wait a couple of days before I can have a proper look in the daylight.

How you getting on with the new purchase John? Did it go through the mot ok?

Yep, passed the MOT no problem.
All the paperwork is now with the DVLA so I'm hoping they'll stick to their "10 day" turn around and I can be on the road by 1st October.
Meeting on the 5th is OK for me but can't be sure which car I'll be in.
