My vx220 project

Took a picture of the bulkhead trim but you can't see very much of it with the seats in place :rolleyes:

Matt

Those seats look ace Neil :love:

4032 or 2618 alloy for the pistons?

good question, after ten weeks I can't remember :LOL:

Think they will be 2618 as the 4032 were more expensive - probably :confused:

Day 71 - Still waiting for the confirmation they are complete and ready to ship 🙁

TheHood

Probably less important for a garage queen like yours :p🙂

But for me unless I was planning something mental like compound charging with a crap ECU it has to be 4032 all the way. (y)

vocky

so the pistons are made but .................. they have been sent away for the skirt coating to be done :bored:

ps: six years ago today I bought my vx220 🙂

Matt

Bloody hell, 6 years already!

vocky

well today is supposed to be the day the pistons are done :rolleyes:

I have booked the block in for the machining work, but they obviously want the pistons before they will commence the work.

So will they or won't they be ready today ...... I wonder :banghead:

Matt

I hope they are Neil

vocky

so after twelve long weeks .................

vocky

did I forget to mention they went from;

west coast of america

to east coast of america

to germany

to ireland

to northern ireland

back to germany

to derby

to me

:confused: :confused: :confused:

they have done more miles than I have driven my vx220 :LOL:

Matt

Why did they take such a long route around the world before getting to you Neil?

vocky

UPS blamed the address for being wrong, but ENGLAND was written pretty clear to me o_O

Matt

any excuse by the sounds of it then......still, at least you now have them. When is the engine going in for the work now you have them?

vocky

not until the new year because they are too busy at the moment 🙁

TheHood

They even *look *strong!

Alloy?

vocky

2618 alloy according to the install instructions.

These cost £855 and the 4032 were several hundred dollars more :eek:

So just the rods and pistons cost £1600 o_O
