In answer to Iain's Question,
Yes issue 22 has passed but have a look on E-Bay, there are dozens of those GX-12 Engines brand new on there, I won 2 of them both for £26.52p each. But as stated above you will need to buy the carb bit separate as it does not come supplied with the engine, unless you buy the lot brand new in a shop and then you are looking at £149 for the complete engine (That was the price when I last looked)

And in answer to Josh's Question, Have a look on the Hpi site for a BMW shell...they do make one but you want to make sure it fits the wheelbase on your car, which incidentally, is 265mm.

Here's the link, www.hpieurope.com ...it's the 200mm wide bodies you should be looking at.

According to Hpi's site they fit most popular makes of car....Check your local Halfords to see if they have them in stock...my local branch does.

Regards..........Mark

You should be able to get unpainted shells to spray as you wish...I'm sure a quick query on HPi will point you in the right direction.
In fact I am sure I have seen clear BMW M3 shells in my local Halfords...so still worth a look all the same.
If not I know a supplier who has them not far from me.

carb is ok i think i have a mongled thundertiger pro12 engine and 2 of the cylinder head holes are stripped if i can get a gx 12 for that price im in buisness

oh and ebays no good i have no credit card

**Bluewavestudios** · 12-04-2005

You can still pay by cash/cheque or postal order if you wish on e-bay...depends on what the seller prefers...you don't need a credit card...a standard debit card will do
(My Credit card is disallowed on e-bay but only to protect me from fraudsters...Yes I have a stupidly high credit limit, but only coz the bank gave it to me !!!)

Needless to say you will not find details of that card online !!!

Regards........Mark.

when i said i had no credit card i mean i have no debit or money cards ther than a cash card

the stupid bank changed it so you have to be 18 to get a debit or credit card

**Bluewavestudios** · 13-04-2005

That shouldn't be a problem Iain
Most sellers will accept postal orders which you can buy at any post office, they are as good as guaranteed cash.
