I think you should advertise the car now, and give the buyer the option of stock, mild or mad spec engine 😬👍 bespoke build with a sliding scale sale price depending on spec. You could build it stock, then a buyer comes along, saying, can I have it with 600hp and it’s got to come apart again.... #justsaying 👍😎

[@davidstocking1622]

I think the head should rule the heart. Go with the most viable cost effective option. Turn it around, stock and make a few quid👍

[@ChrisMarston-i4s]

I agree with those who say do a raffle, it makes really good content . I also think the other good option is to sell it first and let the new buyer choose their own spec.

[@sarcodiauk2921]

New block and stock makes sense

[@markt5426]

Hi Ricky, Is there anything within the current jobs you are doing where you could make a deal with the owner so he get's an upgrade at a good price and you get a standard use block etc? If not go by what's cost effective which gives you what you require and quick turnaround on the car. Good luck with it and keep us informed of your progress.👍👍

[@daysofgrace2934]

Bud only do it if you're going to keep it. It's the way with old cars, 55 plate BMW 120d 150K miles - new alternator, turbo, x4 injectors, uprated FMIC, Koni Active dampers, Eibach Pros spring, BMWP front strut top-mounts, rear shock top mounts and bottom mounts, front & rear ARB bushes and drop-links, idler/pulley/tensioner and belts, front wheel bearing steering rack, radiator & condenser, rear left drive-shaft and ABS sensor, repaired i-drive computer & BT module, remapped to 300lb-ft (200BHP) would need to uprate the torque convertor, only the best for Bertha; About £10K in repair bills only worth about £2K but I like Bertha she got nice comfy suspension that I worked on getting tailored to my tastes for dailying or hooning on a journey when hit I a good A/B road (Koni Active damping)...I keep a (dirty) weekend car currently Boxster type 987 gen 2, but even with PASM and DSC V1, the 19s tyres don't have much sidewall and comfort as daily suffers or may be I'm just getting old and need to buy a Jag...

[@jeffdavies688]

I know nothing about cars ....more into bikes!....but it's a great channel!

[@Dadeets]

Looks very similar to a TT issue Dean @ saving salvage is facing , in an ‘amplified’ edition I believe it is. Lack of compression on cyl2 eventually led him to strip it down and he the rings had sh1t themselves, disintegrated and left remnants in the sump/strainer/pick up along with bits of chewed up piston . The piston looks very much like yours. His cyl wall showed little by way of damage either. Is this a common issue in these then?

[@DavidIrwin-xb9wt]

The TT Centre in Blackburn are advertising a white TT RS breaking on fb marketplace. Could have some useful front end bits

[@SamDoesVids]

Go big or go home. Make it an absolute blinder of a TTRS, with a full engine build, BIG turbo, all the bells and whistles. Make some content with it and generate value with it being a REPerformance build…. Do it!

[@Drones_and_more]

RE the TTRS, its had a few bits for a stock(normal daily) car, be interesting to see if the car had a remap when the ECU turns up.

[@glennarnold3970]

Ricky do a new stock block build save the money and when you sell it put the funds into your lovely blue track car as it is going to need all the help it can get 😁their would be a bigger sales market for a reliable stock new engined ttrs than a modded one because it was done right at REperformance yes you can give your self a pat on the back because you deserve it bro cheers from down under ps that ttrs is worth about 35 to 40k in australia

[@andybull4905]

Could be wrong but is it simalar to what's happened to the TT piston/engine on saving salvage?

[@speedandfeed]

Give that bore a hone at the machine shop, take it to top size and see how it looks then. You’ll be sizing new rings anyway. Great channel 👍🏻

[@paulsprojects1]

can these blocks not have liners fitted?

[@coreyvernon3245]

I said the same

[@johnrowell942]

New block and you now it is perfect. Or like you said do a deal with someone and look forward to seeing this build

[@torstenhein2979]

Cool project. Can't you get aftermarket, oversized pistons as you would with Mahle for a GTI? That would give you OEM but cost less?

[@davidtyler483]

I had the same thing on my MK2 13,000 escort estate but on all four cylinders. It didhalf smoke 🥳

[@steffydog]

Always a great video, love the chat. A day in the life of a car engine specialist . . . .thanks 👍🏁

[@REPerformanceUK]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching.

[@paulp96275]

Leave it stock for the next owner and let them decide measure the bored and see what’s going on couldn’t see the marks on the vid so you have first hand knowledge of how bad they are great vid nice car good luck 👍👨🏻‍🏭

[@TheMR2777]

Hello bud. Just done a stage 2 on a 2021 TTRS. Would you be interested in anything stock such as the airbox, intercooler, downpipes, mid pipes etc? The parts have only covered 5k? Also I have the alloy fuel cap......

[@garysimpson8860]

I agree with some other comments, sell now with the deal off it been built up standard or big power motor ,, take a big deposit job done 👍 ,, These make good content

[@tonyking9235]

OPTION 3 IS BEST WAY TO GO

[@julianpalmer4674]

Can you bore and liner the block. I don't know if it can be done, I'm just thinking out loud 🤔

[@samrodian919]

I was having the same thoughts. If it's a standard bore would +.5 mm clean it up and new pistons and rings? Are plus .5 mm pistons available ?

[@tunnel7]

Thanks Ricky and the lads love this channel..oh and turn it around ASAP do not over spend unless someone wants it done and puts up some sheckles first..

[@Retirement_Life]

How about rebuilding the engine with a mild power upgrade and then raffle the car off once it is refurbished?

[@KevinBowles-e5s]

Can’t you just over size the stock pistons bore out the block

[@paulwilkinson4501]

Option 3 🤓 Great channel, love the vids 💪👊👍

[@Neilt691]

Go stock with a new block although I like the idea of build to spec but I would think there is some risk to that

[@knight2425]

I’m from the other side of the planet so don’t know values and interest of cars over there but for the $1500 extra to build the engine would it be worth building it then leaving the rest of the mods on the car instead of returning to stock? Would it bring in the extra $1500 when finished?

[@garryhendy5588]

Couldn't you build the engine and fit in your Noble? Maybe need the gearbox to

[@deanbines931]

I chucked a stock 8J intercooler a couple of months ago when I moved house 🤦‍♂️ I don't see the point to buy a new block and build to stock to save £1500, I'd defo pay extra for a car with built motor by a reputable company.

[@RoddersRNW]

You have to build the engine surely Ricky? I’d even be interested!!

[@brianread9781]

Can you not sleeve it with linners?

[@DanW-B]

Nice old school Italian Job quote in there mate…

[@leez20letcorsa]

In your customer waiting area might be an idea to have a pool table, 👍

[@alexis.chavez]

What’s a Seaper engine? Can’t find it on google 🙁

[@dave4ku]

I’ve seen this issue on another channel not a RS but a mk2 TT On saving salvage. Was there a manufacturing issue with pistons on these cars??

[@smudger6461]

Shame about the block, on a good note, love the content great to see the team involved 👍

[@TheDJFra1]

Its a shame you wouldnt swap it down for a 2.0T ea888.3 with a garrett turbo, happy to help with that :) Putting a built 2.5 into my Cupra R ST would be great swap out

[@stevenlee4437]

Cheaper oversized pistons?

[@astonspear1104]

if car is a decent stock example I wouldn't mess about with it by doing a built engine. I think you would move it on easier it been a good clean stock example!

[@howardpalin67]

Best of luck at Coombe this weekend 🏍️

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you

[@4321GO_Simon]

“For why, Keats? For why?” Mister Bridger, The Italian Job. But then, I’m an utter car bore (as you well know 😂!).

[@markbauwens8033]

1) How much would this car be to buy? I'm interested. 2) If the labour and 83mm parts to rebuild the damaged engine are £1,500 more than OE parts then that would be my preference for a stroker but much stronger than OE. 3) Would £15K inc VAT buy that?

[@REPerformanceUK]

Yes it will be up for sale and I’ll be aiming for about £15k. The rods and pistons alone are £5k so with the machining and build will be more than £1500 for the big engine spec.

[@markbauwens8033]

Well if you want to sell it today Rick inclusive of the "big engine spec" (with a view to returning when budget permits for a larger turbo and intercooler) then I'm your boy. Boots to be new PS4. Everything else on trust...

[@REPerformanceUK]

@@markbauwens8033 Like i said Mark it will be circa £20k for the car with a fully built engine. Cheers Ricky

[@Loopyeck]

What sort of money is in the car finished to a stock spec Ricky? I’ve been toying with a gti golf, looking a r golf’s too, rs3’s are out my budget but a TT rs wasn’t even on my radar.

[@daniellane89dl]

Do a darkside build it and raffle it off 😊

[@danielmarshall4587]

"Comfort Zone" I'll say, as and when and if I had the money this would be the thing I'd do for my next car. Having an establishment such as yours, sorce/sort(source...piss pour spelling) a car, and subsequently look after it would be wonderful. Now I just need to get on the graft and get the money together.

[@markcrawford9386]

I have another option. I like my red sline . Could you take all that gunbins from your RS and transfer it to my lovely red car . MK2 2011 74000 mile? (2.0 TFSI just about to have a stage 1 retune)? Would that be a bridge too far?

[@ADEMSALAN]

I had a ttrs do the same thing to me even a ccz engine too

[@CraigMansfield]

I don't know if it helps but I've got an A4 B7 flywheel and clutch pressure plate that you can have, and the (A4 B7) ECU

[@johnhayles16]

Can you put liners in it lee at barem engines can pos do that for you

[@GazMoby]

Very enjoyable as always 👍

[@Evo836]

Have a group think with a beer! On what do do.

[@TheLeeattwood]

Peace of mind buying from you , yes I’d agree 👍🏻

[@tocsa120ls]

Go full Mat Armstrong 😁 dingle ball hone that one cylinder and put a junkyard piston in it, and send it off.

[@chicanesimon]

So.... can you not just fit a liner to the damaged cylinder? I already suspect you have a reason why thats not an option but .....

[@kartakis]

Please keep the melted pistons for me as I would like to use them as ashtrays :D How difficult will it be to convert it from manual into DSG? I have a crazy idea spinning in my head but still an idea :)

[@ro63rto]

I've read of quite a few TTs & TTRS with pistons like that. Are they known to be a weak point as my brother has a 2008 TTs.

[@RoddersRNW]

Yeah the CEPA/CEPB pistons do fail, the CZGB that went into the PFL RS3 had revised pistons.

[@1950bobster]

@@RoddersRNW The OE pistons & rings were revised in mid 2012 cars...

[@patarmand3593]

I have a 2013 CEPB TTRS and am interested in a swap

[@grantodriscoll822]

Can send you pics of my rs3 2016 czgb oem intake which id swap 😊👍

[@nigeljames1109]

Can't you liner the block?

[@dwapo]

lift kit, external roll cage and full on safari spec like huracan sterrato or the new 911 safari. audi did some concepts, it's time someone makes them real

[@ironmantooltime]

Lol

[@andrewwright2885]

2nd hand engine?

[@tomwhit1982]

If you upgrade the brakes let me buy the front calipers off you for my octavia awd project please 😂

[@72neillyboy]

Should I smash the buttons!!?? 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂 I only do as I’m told 😮 instructions please Ricky 😎

[@robsears7574]

Do it with a built engine sell it with all the engine built for power and work will come back more desirable knowing its stronger than stock

[@andrewhumphreys9889]

all sorts of rules and regs with a raffle

[@stephenwilliamson1491]

A car with the basics covered to go for big power a would think be more desirable. Imagine somone buys it and sends it to get forged lol

[@NJW1967]

Rebuild it with OE Mahle pistons and a rebore !

[@aidencoder]

Someone watched Saving Salvage

[@jamest5149]

New block or engine build swap 👍

[@alexworz4135]

Baller ttrs and raffle it... then you'll get your money back and more. Plus good content. Plus someone's going to geta weapon for a couple of quid

[@ironmantooltime]

They really sell 5000 tickets at a fiver each?

[@theenglishtrucker1849]

Who doesnt want a built 5cyl? I say build the engine and sell the car for more money. Someone will want it, I want it, but depends how much it would cost. Audi TTRS with built engine ready to be tuned with bolt ons and software, FRESH from you guys...are you mad? Its gonna sell before you even build it! State how much you want for it and im sure your phone wont stop ringing after the video goes live. 👍😎

[@craigvirgin8461]

I thought I was the only person who said 'this is for why Keats'. 😂😂

[@royclarke8455]

Hopefully someone watching wants the car and can discuss how they want it building

[@coreyvernon3245]

I’d sleeve it

[@vogs72]

Bulbils a stock engine, and spread the love of a solidly built engine (unless…).

[@georgieliverpol]

Try putting a v10 in never seen that before lol

[@alexhaws2377]

Why can't you re-liner it?

[@kinglouiesshed8995]

Put it in the Nobel 😂😂

[@rowanharris8027]

Is it defo not tuned,with all the hardware it came with....... build it & raffle it,can't go wrong.

[@SamCrookes-z7z]

Built engine and fit into the noble, source a stock second motor for the TTrs

[@dazzasnipes1911]

why dont you build the car over a series of few videos to quite a nice spec then use it as REperformance first raffle car. Your friends with the Darkside lads and theyve done that with a few cars now so you could get any advice from them.

[@richardpoulter2146]

Can you sell the car first as different specs 🤔

[@glynnorman4667]

Mild up scale on the build and raffle her off as a track car!! 1500 tickets @£20 or 3000 @£10? As an example gives you £30k back

[@michaelanderson2689]

Maybe someone is in the market for a TTRS and will want you to big them an engine to there spec? Winner winner chicken dinner.

[@steffydog]

Classic 👍

[@neilbathe7752]

I'm sure my answer won't help - but I don't see a good solution - unless you can get a swap-ish for a built engine or just feck it and build the 1000hp one...

[@Escygt]

Sell it on as it is

[@Davey-tw2cr]

Brought, maybe? :)

[@scottc123fish]

Raffle. You've got 25k subscribers.

[@ordinaryguy1638]

New block and piston, get it knocked out and get back to the Noble.

[@mattparry1251]

There’s gotta be a few people out there after a “service exchange “ built engine, if I had a five pot I’d be bringing my wife a cuppa in bed and wondering if she’d like to visit Swindon.

[@johngray722]

Stock

[@neilbathe7752]

Do you get the free bird shit with the car?

[@CraigMansfield]

no, you have to wash it first

[@Lou-f]

Stock build. Everyone wants the a3 nowadays. Too old a car for a pricey build.

[@jonnyb2426]

Stock oe all day fella No more middle class chavy Audi’s with led number plate bulbs…😂

[@stuartmonteith7079]

I think you shouldn’t get a engine of eBay could cost you more if you want to flip the car, the swap idea sounds like one to follow, have you thought of raffling the car at £10 a ticket as this vid has had 7k views if only half bought a ticket……..

[@robertoshaughnessy-bo9hm]

get a new block and go back to stock

[@aidencoder]

Meh those old 8J CEPA cars are pigs. Do it nice OEM, new block, get rid. Different story for an MQB 8S car.
