starletboy Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 not really any help to you but i had to put a new engine in mine a few weeks ago and thought id strip my old engine down completly to see what was wrong with it in my lunch break and found the oil control ring(the one at the bootom of the piston skirt)had worn away and was now sitting flush with the side of the piston when it should stick out a bit so really only replace the rings and get a new head gasket only 30quid and do valve stem seals at the same time and youll be sorted providing it hasnt knocked the bottom end shells out(cheaper than a new engine i just couldnt be bothered with the hassle) Link to post Share on other sites

Nanglebadger Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Just this one. Try MAN14C he may have more of this car.I like it too.Phil. Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I was tempted by that kinda spoiler for a while, make it pure Japstyle. Mirrors are cool too.Phil. Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 loose the bonnet and it'd be pretty cool. Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Lose the bonnet (For a tasty OEM style carbon one) and the ankle slicing corner splitters... oh and the change gayblade wing on the back for a live-sports spoiler and it would be pretty damn cool.Personally I don't think there are only a few cars that suit alloy spoilers like that - and none are small hatches!!

SiCaln Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 quite like the bonnet, quite like the FRP Cruise Power one Link to post Share on other sites
