Hey Batdan,

Looks like we got some great suggestions re the connecting rod. Thanks everyone.

The motor came with the engine bay wiring and computers. I later purchased the under dash wiring but dont know wether I'll use it or not. I was lucky with the motor but it was not cheap. $6500 for the motor and $1800 for the transmission. To me it was worth it because I want a daily driver. To me this engine means performance, relaibility and no stuffing around to meet pollution requirements. I have not put the engine in the car yet as its much easier to work on without it. However I hope to test fit the engine by Xmas.

I'm not sure how easy XR8 motors are to get over here but I'm sure plenty of people crash them and there seem to be quite a few on the road.

I saw Alvins car on the weekend (I purchased his wheels). He has just put larger brakes on his DRB. I noticed he also has a sway bar fitted.

I'd be very surprised if you did not need a brake warning system.

Have fun

Cameron
