So frustrating. If you can get sell it do! If I wasn't living at home and didn't already have a few projects then I'd snap this up off you! You're practically giving it away and could make for a really interesting project.

That looks gash. Loves that STAGE 2 REBUILD! Hang on, 80K miles and it's needed a rebuild. What's going on there. Does he just mean oh I've uprated a few components cause I've ragged the balls off this thing.

​Still available if anyones interested. ​ ​I don't do bumps, so if nones interested then this will go in the loft and will sell with the car.

Okay I'm not even going to finish watch that. Really disturbing.

Probably doing you a favour. 130 in these tin cans is deadly

You should NEVER remove the battery whilst the engine is running. Don't know why they told you that. All you have to do to check the alternator is put a multimeter over a 12 volt battery and watch the voltage increase to around 14

LOL. GT No mods, fairly standard car Insured at £900 21 no years driving, license held for 4 years.

​ ​No, it is on the G27 ​ ​Aww what you kidding me? It isn't compatible with the PS4? What the hell man? That sucks, if that isn't then I doubt my G27 will be :/

Yeah, no I didn't lol. I looked at it and was just like wtf is that suppose to do! FML! The heads probably going to be off for a few months anyway. So plenty of time to figure out how it goes back together. Is it worth me having the head rebuilt whilst it's off?

Proper sex there mate. Will that rust? Could consider some VHT Lacquer if that's the case. Just so it stays PHRESH!

From what I've read, by no means an expert. No mate, that isn't safe to run on stock ECU. For peace of mind I'd tell him to get an emanage and a proper map. That's me personally. You need to use photobucket or what not and upload to that site then copy the image location in the photo icon in the text area,.

I would like to add, if I may, I have owned this before. And it is EASILY THE BEST peripheral you can buy if you enjoy racing games. It radically transforms the game especially if you're into Gran Turismo it's an absolute must have. I only sold mine to buy the G27 Logitech. And Whilst that one is better, IT DOES EXACTLY THE SAME JOB. Just with the novelty of the clutch and 6 speed box. Which sometimes I wish was sequential like the Driving force. I battered my Driving force for many an hour and it never wore, or broke. Quality bit of kit and I just leave my wheel set up all the time for the od

Looking lovely pal! Love that interior. Interesting read about the forged business. Definitely swayed my mind about staying stock. Also, you could have just built that engine yourself. It's not rocket science, I mean it seemed like a long time to wait and the money you would have saved would have been nice. Plus if you dropped the engine and just sat and worked on it each night, sending the specialist bits off appropriately I'm sure you'd have done it AND more importantly, learned some new skills. Also remember, those ACL bearings are only good for 25K miles, so be sure to get them replace

Aww guttering. I was fuming mate. Was a shame cause she was boosting absolutely sweet. I would have loved for thks car to have actually worked lol. It's my first ever car. I've got no mechanics background other than working on my 125. So to have this engine stripped down into bits is a bit of a stretch of my skills. But I never intended to commute in this car so there is no urgency on it. Just taking my time. I'll get there. Although I must admit, without you guys it would be a DAMN sight harder! Amazing, I could never imagine having a bash at this twenty years ago.

So if I go to Halfords and ask for a Long Weight they should be able to help me? Yeah well may as well whilst I'm there.

Amazing what a difference you've made. I'll keep an eye on this!

Well it wasn't no water but by the time the temperature became significant and I noticed it would have been very little. Yeah I did get a new gasket just out of habit and did think that was odd why it was like putty when I took it off :/ I would want to get the deck checked but I'm not prepared to take the block off at this stage.I realise this IS going to bite me in the arse but I only really see one reason why I'd go that far and that would be for an engine rebuild. If I go to all that trouble then I may as well go the whole hog and do the mains at the same time. Sort it all out. Which is

Don't ask Collin... Basically, I was investigating this problem a while back. And was like oh there is no thermostat. Replaced it and then took the car for MY FIRST DRIVE whilst I've had it home. I drove it home 90 miles fine. But this would be my first drive in my home town. Was absolutely loving it. Until I looked down and noticed the temperature gauge in the RED. Pulled over and popped the bonnet to find that the thermostat housing had leaked coolant, all its coolant. Had to drive it two miles with no coolant. Hence the white plugs. They were golden brown when I changed them when I go

Welcome dude. I'm no expert but when my brothers Punto GT Turbo made this noise it was because the turbo was starting to fail. Are you noticing any smoke on boost?

Alright sweet the heads off now. Does look like it might have just been the head gasket. Although They were driving it around like this for some time. Cowboys. Going to have to be next month now before I can take it a shop to have machined flat.

That's mint. I can't imagine buying anything for £75 with as much value for money as this lmao. Good luck, I'm sure it'll sell in no time.

Similar to my personal project, except mines using a Raspberry pi and also can play playstation games in the car

Yeah but I'm replacing the belt And let's assume that the crank has already moved and well actually one set of cam lobes are already out so I will want to go back to first principles on this one.

No I don't. Don't you need an air compressor for one of those? So annoying. To tell you the truth I was just hoping to buy a GT Turbo and drive it. It's my first car and I've wanted one of these for years. I made that mistake of just buying the first car I saw like a kid at a candy store. It was just so nice to drive. I know I'm going to strip this engine down and find out it's got some serious damage. I'm not a mechanic, I work in IT FFS lol. Yeah I've built a few engines and tinkered about with mechanics but I am FAR from qualified. It's just so frustrating to buy a car that you're told
