it has came to the end of a very short lived era with my new wheels. while mapping my car this morning, number 3 piston decided to give up and go AWOL. so in order to sort the engine out, the wheels have to be sold in order to help out with the costs. i want to keep it in scottish section for a while as postage will be stupid so i'm hoping someone local will fabcy them. i will say just one thing, i WILL NOT accept any offer below £1000!!!



pic of me motor is as follows. wheels are obviously the ones in the pic. no scuffs on any wheel what-so-ever. people will vouch for that. as for the tyres...only two months useage so you work it out.

I have an engine (with heads, headgaskets all bolted up, just needs inlet manifold, pulleys, cambelt/covers) available, let me know if any use to you johnbanks@dsl.pipex.com

 

email sent. cheers john

 

soz to hear about that dave. is the motor back on the road? if so what do u think?

 

andy

the motor is fooked

i need either a new short block or uprate it with sti engine. or in fact i could just fit uprated parts. dunno what to do

 

HI Dave

As said in PM sorry to hear about this M8.

When did you get back home last night as it must have been 1 hell of a long day.

Best thing to do is sit down and think what way you wont to go, then make yourself a plan and stick to it. That way you know where you are going and what you are looking for.

Hope you get sorted soon though.

Cheers Dougie

 

thanks dougie

got home at 10 last night, which doesn't sound long, but was in two recovery wagons over the time of about 8 or 9 hours and after all what happened was rather sh@gged TBH. lol

just trying to get prices at the moment and can from there weigh up what my REAL options are. i quite fancy the idea of the sti engine as certain parts are stronger than uk, but money will be the key factor. hope i get fast replys, i really do.


cheers
dave

 

Dave....
Cant beleive it mate .

Hope you get it sorted asap mate.

 

bollox mate so it is, as I said last night if you need any help just let me know.

 

k. cheers peeps. you can help me find an engine, lol

 

Unbelievable neebs
Cant imagine how devastated/p!ssed off you are. Hope ya get it fixed quickly. I think Dougie does have a good point though, have a full plan of what route to take and stick to it.
Does kinda make ya think about things a bit dont it, this more power malarky is a very slippery slope.

Stuart

Dave it's not a group buy mate it's a company in the US who can supply pistons and rods at very good prices, even with delivery to the UK it's still cheep

anyone got any ideas as my heed cant compute

 

Wait till John gets back to you mate if you can, if it's his old engine it's a good un?
