daz gt turbz Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 never heard of a pop plug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 core plug? they can pop out as a safety feature to prevent the block cracking if theres no antifreeze inside it just plain water when the temp outside drops Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 core plug? they can pop out as a safety feature to prevent the block cracking if theres no antifreeze inside it just plain water when the temp outside dropsthats a good call, and if thats the case it aint a good thing as other things could have been damaged and on the brink of breaking. ice is not an engines friend!

ep91steve Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Braw so there will be no damage caused to it because off that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 cars like this which raise eyebrows need to be looked at by a couple of lads who know there way round a ep so as not to miss anything.....that way atleast one person will notice something if anything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ep91steve Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 What will a look out for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 What will a look out forfor a start make sure the car is cold when you get there so you can start it from cold and check for smoke or noises, when things first start to make noise or smoke they generally stop when the car is warm i.e engine or turbo. defo have a good look for crash damage as i carnt get my head around the airbag going off as his head hit it and a good test drive. but more sets of brains and eyes are better than 1!

ep91steve Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Yeah thanks daz will do all that.. A have to take temp insurance for the day just to pic it up Lol £31 for the day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 brakes/alloys/exterior/ice/suspension is a simple visual thing take a print out of the stuff and check it off...any extras and keep hush anything missing point it out Transmission- jack it up and spin the wheels cant remember what happens whn youve got a LSD but its been mentioned- Youve had a EP? youll notice the gear shift and the TRD usually comes with a leather knob-ask someone what the clutch is like and see if you can notice it compare with your own experienceengine-the walbro pump is loud apparantly, listen out for it- check the boost gauge when you drive it does it register 1.1?- look at the ecu - the bee*r is a devil thing this would put me off straight away...........- get the sump cover off (if he wont let you try and sus why if not walk away) youll notice the rods may even see the pistons with a torch- the head should be quite clean and not shitty looking- look for new sealant anywhere-check the colour of the coolant------has it been fixed since the core plug issue?-when you drive it check for CV joint creeks EPs love eating them from what ive seen- the turbo should be nice looking take the filter off and check for oil residue apart from that check panel gaps, boot well, front end.......theres also a tappety knock forged engines make mabe listen out? look for a reciept for the engine stuff?thats all i can think of lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Asad Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 best way is to ask around, even then be cautious its your money thats on the line not theres so id still check everything i remember a case with some lad i bought some speedline alloys off and apparantly even after his "mates" knew the car he was buying was a shitter they never said anything to him till he realised when doing some work on itbest advice i can give without being there is if in doubt walk away no reason necessary and say youll think about it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StarletMad Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 You cannot overlook the noise a forged engine makes when you start up from cold as people say it does honestly sound like the pistons are bouncing off the sides lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
