Title: UK Engine (re)builders Post by: BugBusBuggy on June 09, 2020, 15:20:57 pm I have a 2276cc that is, all being well, going to see some strip action next year, however the engine was second hand when I bought it, and although it's running great (famous last words) on the street, there are a few too many unknowns that need resolving before it gets used in anger on the strip, so I'm looking to have it rebuilt during this year.
Anyone have recommendations for places they've actually had work done in the UK? My research has thrown up a few, (Reichspeed, RNJ, GAC, Stateside) to look into, but other suggestions are what I'm after. If it was a stock motor, I'd 'have a go', but I have too much invested already so want it done by someone who knows what they're doing! Cheers, Dave.

@ Richie, this is exactly why I'm asking the question. I've bought stuff from you previously, just didn't know that this was the sort of thing you'd do as well. :-[ Title: Re: UK Engine (re)builders Post by: explorer on June 09, 2020, 22:44:03 pm Richie built my engine too.
Highly recommend Title: Re: UK Engine (re)builders Post by: richie on June 10, 2020, 07:12:03 am Thanks both :) @ Richie, this is exactly why I'm asking the question.

Title: Re: UK Engine (re)builders Post by: Rocket Ron on June 11, 2020, 14:38:31 pm Had a couple of engines from Richie and a rebuild of another and the one in the car I bought recently was from Rawspeed
Richie was easy to deal with, happy to give advice, quick turnaround, trouble free motoring with all three engines and all drive great. The Rawspeed engine was also good and drove very nicely. He was happy to answer a couple of questions I had via email which was answered within a hour even though I wasn’t the original customer. Don’t think you’d go wrong with either Regards Ron Title: Re: UK Engine (re)builders Post by: Karlos99 on June 13, 2020, 23:49:38 pm Hector Howe In Ipswich, Suffolk built the 2110 in my bus years ago and I’ve done countless miles on that all over Europe and driven it hard without issue. If not Ritchie Webb or Ian Clarke, both built some seriously quick stuff which speaks for itself. 90% of the bits in my motor came from Richie & Jo at RJ. Can’t fault them
Title: Re: UK Engine (re)builders Post by: BugBusBuggy on June 14, 2020, 11:41:42 am Thanks all... I think my decision is made. ;)
