Hello Roadster owners - My kit will be delivered next week and I could use some help. First, I am thinking about the 347 engine from the Engine Factory but I am worried about the piston rods that cut into the oil ring groove. Has any one had any problems with burning oil because of this. And, how is this engine.

Second, I need tires for the 17 inch wheels. Just going to be a street driver, no racing, so any suggestions.

Thanks for the help

So I've been hinting at a big upcoming announcement and it was supposed to be quite a happy one: I found my donor and for a great price.

It's a 2002, 111k, tattered outside, worn inside, good mechanicals. Bought it off a friend who has owned it since new and taken care of it. Adult driven. A little bit of coolant weeping out of the lower radiator hose, but that only needed topping every few weeks.

Got it to my parents place ...

I would like to see the roof thinned out a little.

It’s taken me a few weeks, but I’m making progress. Buying parts sight unseen is nerve wracking and trying to figure out if everything fits/works together is a real challenge when you haven’t even seen them in person.

Being in the UK, exchange rates, paypal, authorised international limits etc. have all conspired to slow us down, but I think pretty soon, we’ll have all the small orders “done”.

• Casey Design Products modular dash (RHD) ...

The plan was to buy the complete kit, but after 3 years on the forums, “Would be nice” became “Must haves” – thanks to you lot. Having a forum is like having a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other. One side tells you how to do it right, the other side tells you all the things you could spend your money on.

Getting a complete kit didn’t make sense when I knew we’d want to upgrade so many parts and with no resale market in the UK, it would be difficult to get rid of anything ...
