as we all no theese cars are a love hate kinda thing

 

i havent moved the car for a while and as my cousin is here visiting i thought id get her going again

 

totally abused it tbh but i loved it so much i was shaking when i got out

 

i just want it back on the road again now but still got no money to fix her up lol

 

oh well the day will come and no doubt about a week later when something else breaks i will hate it again haha :tongue:

withdrawal symptoms.... I know all about them lol :(

yeah me to :(

but when its in the road who remembers how much we spent doing her up! :D

whats wrong with your two ?

Mine had no engine, but now it has an engine and most of the pipes and stuff but still a few more bits to get! cant wait though, I've had two before but I'll be just as excited this time round!

ahhh cool did u buy it with no engine then mate?

well I say no engine... it had the block, one head, one turbo etc... but got a complete lump and dropped it straight in. The car has been off the road since '03 so a few bits have been taken off over the years but I'm determined to get it sorted and back on the road, very soon!

ahhh i see sounds like ur nearly there now :)

 

my car has got really low compression on cylinder 6 and the drivers side turbo is foooked :( and no exhaust at all as i didnt like it i have brought a new exhaust for it and a couple of little bits and peices im just saving up for the new turbos and an engine rebuild not a cheap fix unfortinatly :(

 

but never mind its not hurting where it is and soon it will be a classic car lol

why abuse your car further if its fooked

for that exact reason its fooked so why should i care about any damage as its alleady been done so foook it :)

im pritty sure you can cause more further down the line

seems a bit strange to abuse it more but at least you got some love for the car back

haha yea got love for it again and i carnt see it causing that much more damage as the turbo is allready fooked and needs changing anyway even if i never used it again it would still be the same !!!

 

the only thing that may be getting damaged is the 6th cylinder bore as its only pushing out 90psi so i will need tobe honed anyway :)

 

also i drove the car for about 4 months before doing a compression test and finding out about the cylinder so after a maximum of a possible 4 thousand miles with the engine the way it is i really cannot see there being alot more damage i can do :) :)

 

but never mind :)
