Russleh Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 was driving along the bypass n went to overtake and felt like i had no pull and then smoke starts comin from bonnet and its from the breather and car sounds like a subaru so i guess pistonrings or ringlands on the used pistons i used to rebuilt the engine with ( bad choice ) . anyway i dunno if i wanna spend time n money fixing the car again or if i should sell it as is. also have a silver n/a that i havent had the time to get running since swapping the old engine from my car into it. do you think it would still sell easy if it doesnt run. has a brand new clutch and will have new brakes n pads etc with tien coilovers etc. i feel confused as i wasnt expecting this.

bucketep91 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 not goodf news mate:( why not just buy another engine and throw it in there to sell up? u should pick 1 up for around 300 odds? thats what i had to do to sell my glanza. was a lot of hassle but it got it sold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 at the moment im thinking get the silver car semi finished and sell that and move the white one back and get a new car on finance. its just more of an annoyance that its broke. time to get the finger out and get the silver car ready to sell . i mus have took your bad luck streak with me in that bag of bits i got lol.

Russleh Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 nah is silver. roughly 75k on it i cant remember lol. glanza interior with gt front seats although i need a load of clips for it lol. few screws for daft bits ie dial surrounds have gone missing. will have brand new discs n pads up front . brand new clutch. corrolla manifold and a rr printout of 85 hp . tien coilovers . anti lift kit . trd panel filter . need to sort out a panhard rod and it has a spare wheel on as the speedline got a puncture. black speedlines by the way lol. has the bigger brakes up front aswell. ill take pictures n make a proper add when I've done what i want to to it. the only problem will be missing an earth or so because last time i started it it started fine and run for a few seconds sweet as but then cut out so I've yet to figure that out. enough info for ya. ya can always make me an offer now and take it haha.
