hi my first post
killed my engine on a track day at castle combe last month
£200 pounds to transport it home to treorchy gone 3 weeks without driving going nuts
so now its booked into promax for an engine rebuild this week so no scooby for japfest
could cost up to £2000 to fix

KJD Mk1

iTrader: (3)

Any idea why it went bang? which scooby do you have?

its a my 99 turbo
think i gave it to much welly around the track dropped my time by 3 seconds
i wasn't driving when it went my mate was having a go it lost all power and died at bobbies
after we got towed to the car park a guy came along and said he was behind us saw a puff of black smoke from the exhaust the a cloud of white smoke lifted the bonnet the dump valve was covered in oil thought the turbo seals had gone got it home took it to local garage he thought a piston had gone mate of mine who nowa a bit about cars got in touch with promax
said he thinks he knows the problem
thought about secon hand engine or a short engine
but rebuild seems best
