Taggy

I have had the same problem with my athena, i torqued the sucker down and it was still weapin oil in the corners!

lol will see what i can do

I am still in a bad mood with it, decided to spend some money on my boat instead. Gonna buy the pistons next month when i have got more free cash. Bloody thing is sitting in the naughty corner still, I have stripped it ready for the pistons to go in so i can get it put back together in a day, arrrgghhh does my head in even writing this post!!! Hmmmm will have a think about it - bloody thing!!!!

Item For Sale: Japfest stand pass ticket Item Condition & Description: shiney new, car wont be repaired in time for Japfest and have got other projects on at the moment, so starlet is on the back burner. Price: Face value Pictures: N/A Payment & Shipping Details: Will be collected with everyone else on the day as per arrangements with UKSC

Ah i am not gonna run the risk, spoke to Wossner and its ok to bang another set in so thats what I am going to do, although bit anoying i have to buy a brand new set!

I just wanted to check but is it possible to use 74.5mm Ross forged pistons in my Wossner 74.5mm bores. Or are the specs not the same between the two?

I am still in need of pistons if you do split them, so give me first dibs if you do. oops actually i cant these wont match my bores

it looks like its been split at some point it might have an aftermarket LSD in it, have a look through the side and take a picture, you should be able to see the lsd over the standard diff. post a pic up.

who ended up buying these pistons, did they ever use them?

sounds like you got a fake one dude, you should have a serial! where did you get it from?

Cool should look wicked when done

I guess the one that gets passed from person to person you kinda want big and bulky with a chunky base just so the person doesn't lose it and also gives it back

Sounds like a plan, well if the mods and admins decide who to send them to, you can organise getting them sorted who ever is good at being creative to mount them i guess is best I dont mind giving them to Trisk to do it.

Well seeing as I had bad luck with a set of Wossner forged pistons, i have decided to donate them to the club so they can be made into trophies for JAE, if you think its a good idea of course. Thought it would be a good idea to mount and engrave them, got spare rods to put them on, maybe one could be passed from person to person each year with a new engraving of their achievement for nostalgia. If you think its a good idea post up and let me know who will be in charge and I will get them sent to the right admin. As long as you promise no one sticks them in their car ha ha

Ill make a seperate thead to see what people think

Well i dont mind giving them to an admin to clean up, would be pritty easy to get them engraved and stuck on a rod, i got loads of spares.

Maybe we should make trophies out of them for this years JAE

Thats hell of a trout

Well i will ask everyone to stop the blame game then, I have agreed with Mike to take it back and have a look at it and go from there. I hope to have it fixed by end of April.

Hmm what i also find interesting is two different tuners have different opinions on what they think has gone wrong, Ricky says timing, TD thinks fuel starvation, hmmm i wonder who is right.

Well i have had a change of plan, I really need to keep the rebuild costs down especially as i now need a new set of forged pistons so I have emailed tuning developments if i can take the car back to them to get fault tested for no charge. Cant really afford to pay another £250 to put it back on the rollers again, im bloody skint now. That way they get a chance to see if its something that's failed or if indeed they missed something, i dont see why they shouldnt.

standard injectors are good for 200hp no problem, i believe 220 is also ok but your right on the limit of the injectors so not advised, but 200hp at 1bar on standard injectors will be no problem, just make sure your RRFPR is set up for it (fuel rail pressure will need to be increased)

there are always loads of drop out nearer the date, you should get one easy.

that is proper fubbared, hope you have more luck with it, if that is even possible with a starlet ha ha

Ah i know, well hopefully Ricky can help out or failing that my local rolling road place in Bridgend Gotboost.
