Think the only difference is the abs discs have a ring for the abs and non abs don't quote me on that though. 

ECU has nothing to do with it which ones are sticking ? Sliders are mostly likely not sliding and stuck

9 years is brilliant, where did you have the work done? 

Engine was built by tuning developments I will be taking it back again to be stripped down inspected and rebuilt when I can afford it. 

No it's not bad if you keep up on the servicing. I serviced mine every 3k oil and filter. Unfortunately this time round I found metal in the oil not bad for a 9 year old forged lump that has had its head kicked in every time ive used it. 

I have two I'll have a look when i'm down the garage. 

I just forced it down a tad when I had my na sure I only used one bolt aswell. crude way but it worked for me.

Great work. 

She will be back on the road soon and with a new hart. 

From what I've been told as well tunning developments are the best around in the UK by agood margin. 

 

 

Thank you won't be for a couple of years I don't think I just don't have the funds to get it done yet. The kids need new beds ect lol. So going to crack on with some other jobs clean the bay up drill out some snapped bolts freshen it up. Will have my new Fiske side skirts in a few months so can crack on with them and the wings. 

Been down to the car today engine is now out. It can sulk in the corner untill I drop it up for its rebuild now lol. Gives me chance to clean up the engine bay while it's out get a few more jobs done aswell. 

To help with the heat was it....... Where have the cool wheels gone ? Oh wait they don't fit now do they haha 😂

Christ you don't mess about. Be interesting to see the suspected cause of failure on it. How many miles are on the engine?

Tbh I have no idea I've done about 30k on it and what ever the chap before done. No mate get it out and ready to go on furlough so have to keep my self busy or I'll go mad haha 🤣

Spent a little time at the car today all ready to come out just mounts to whip off once the hoist arrived then it will be out

It's crap lol it's all good though mid had some quite big chunks something has defo gone through it one of those things did order this today should make life easier.

How many miles on the engine since built or cylinders honed. 

So not rebuilt recently. If it comes apart can you get me pics of compression rings ring end edges please if possible. Numbered 1 to 4 cylinder. 

No mate engine is a good 7 / 8 years old I'd say. I'll ask for pics when it's comes apart as I'm running it up to tuning developments. Nice day out for me won't be for a little bit as I'm skint being on furlough and need to purchase an engine crane to get it out the car first.

I know you needed a new excuse to be slower than me at japfest next year but don't you think destroying your engine is going a bit far 😉

Just had to copy you again didn't I 😂

Tbh I don't no ive probly done 15k- 20k over the years it was a second hand engine so I'm unsure how many the chap before hand done maybe 10k

No issues I'll get it rebuilt hopefully when it's pulled apart not to many surprises in store for me.

It's madness I end up giving parts away to help others in need out.

Sorry to hear the bad news fella. Good to see your sticking with it, enjoyed reading through your build. Hopefully it will be back on the road before too long

Yeah I'll stick with it love this car to bits I could rebuild it my self but I don't have anywhere clean to do it so I'll send it away it's not had an easy life with me I do kick it's head in. No point giving up now to deep financially I'd never get back what I've put into it. Gives me change to tidy up the bay while the engine is out. 

Well managed to get it all buttoned up and took it for test drive still leaking oil. Took the sump off to re seal it and greated by quite a bit of metal in the oil not cool. Think I've caught it early but something has defo gone though the engine took one of the mains off. It has marks. Plan of attack is to get the engine out chuck it in the back of the lexus and drop it up to tuning developments for a rebuild. Made a start at taking it out today but need to drain the coolant and purchase an engine crane.

That's why I've done mine been many years also chucked poweflex rack bushes on aswell. Lots of work going on on yours I love it.

Front and rear suspention polyurethane bushes.

 

I've just done superpro front bush kit on mine haven't driven yet though. 

Looking good.

Reason you can't post in the fs section is your not a club member bud. 

Group buys by members are not allowed bud . We have had issues in past years where people have payed alot of money for parts that have never arrived. Traders are the only ones who are allowed to run group buys.
