Quality, glad its Manchester an think there is a looker with a z350 sparky ;)

There is indeed sparky

^^ thats not got any thing do with it you clown lol,looks like turbo has shit it self exhaust side covered in oil

over heating engine........ rad not plugged in.......... hmmmmmm ;)

Maybe its got something to do with the fact that nick didnt plug the rad fan back in when he did your engine............. ;)

boiling water working the only problem is joining them together, because of the direction that the pipes are facing etc im struggling to find something to join them together with as what ever i use bends which will restrict the water and under pressure will just blow the pipe off.

Any ideas?

i think you will need to join them together, as far as i know water flows all the time.

disconnect them both and join them together mate

i cant seem to get the hoses off the pipes they are stuck pretty tight!

Ok my heater matrix appears to be broken as the car is filling with steam when it gets warm and there is nothing i can do about it until i can get the new matrix fitted.

My question is that if i take the below two pipes out which provides the matrix with water, will i need to block them off or just make sure they are no pointing down? see i dont know if they are constantly filled with water or if they only fill up when the heaters are turned on.

Please help, cant drive my car its that bad, not bothered about having no heat in the car for now aslong as i can drive it.

Ok, this meet is currently on hold until we either have the go ahead from the manager OR find a new venue which wont be easy looking at the amount of cars that want to turn up

Ohhh i saw that on Ebay i think dude, did you go collect it?? where are they based as they seem to have alot of low millage engines

Yeah mate i went to pick it up with luke and it went in the back of his strabo! they are based in leigh near st.Helens! tonnes of low millage ones because they import the cars for the engines

in all honesty Im not sure what to do with this meet now, maybe have to scan for a new place

cheers for getting back to me jap! ive tried to track it again but still says the same thing can you ring them for me mate?

Glad your sorted mate

Thanks mate, heater matrix needs changing now as its like a sauna in my car just full of steam lol

How much did you give for the engine mark, id love something with such low miles to forge

was pretty much £600 mate which for the engine was a bargain and a half! it was from a breakers called 'gt bitz' he had a gorgeous skyline there that was running almost 800bhp

You guys are fucking flat out

Shame about all the trouble you had with the last engine

yep thats us mate, no messin haha yeah the engine was a complete shitter but chris is gonna completely recon the engine for his corolla

tell me about it that pic was took at about 3am and it was -2 with no heating in the garage your such a slave driver mark.

also had new cam belt to durring the swap.

hehe you love it luke! whips and handcuffs n all! haha

Bit of an update here guys, the other day i was contemplating selling my car due to having so many problems with an engine that i bought from somebody on the site, bsically he had rebuilt it himself when he told me that it hadnt been rebuilt and it was just low millage.

So........ i went out and bought a new engine from an auto, 29,000 miles on the clock and what a stunner she is! if you could see it in person you would be very impressed, the turbo looks brand new! on saturday at 10pm we started doing the engine swap, clutch change and cambelt change we got done at 10am. so tir

Few pics coming for your viewing pleasure:

new engine

wording still clear on the standard mani!

engine getting ready to come out

dropped into the pitt:

lukEP and chris (nastyrash) molesting my new engine

new engine being put in:

Engine is now fantastic and the turbo is amazing! just feels ten times better than my old engine and turbo, probably seeing as its a low mileage unabused auto now converted to a manual

Hope you like

No probs matey

lol what you dont want to do is create weaknesses mate, you're best off pm'ing him but they are the dogs mate, he had my JAM manifold to compare it to so gets the most out of the standard ones as possible

im considering it but never done tracking so not sure whether to put my baby on!

you could do it yourself but if you want a proper job (no offense) pm nastyrash2003 as he can do them and they are top quality!

cheers darlin! no idea how to get to it lol

images arent showing lol

lol not too much, just a taste, antifreeze is dangerous

if you dont hear from me you know it didnt go too well haha

wow......how many engines? and how many heads?

All the pipes connected up right? defo something to do with the engine compartment you`ve never had any issues with your heater matrix before

third engine because the pecker who sold me my last one said he hadnt rebuilt it when it was aparant after having it apart that he had and fucked up. the problem was there before this engine change mate and its still there which would maybe lead me to believe its the matrix?

touch the water with your finger and taste a bit, if it tastes of antifreeze (sweet sharp horrible taste) then it will be your heatermatrix or a leaking pipe mate

Ok matey ill crack out the wine glasses and get a tasting gonna see who has a matrix for sale

its very hard to tell, we did an engine change last night. when it 'steams' the inside of the window up it doesnt smudge like oil when i try it off although i do have to apply preassure like it its just water steaming

ok well basically i have smoke coming out of my heaters, does this mean that my matrix is bust? some say it smells like oil and some say smells like burning antifreeze i on the other hand am confused and got smokey ness coming out of my heaters when i drive her

Please help

do you have the heater matrix? if so how much delivered before the weekend?
