Max9650 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 whats the mileage on this starlet ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 urmm 118k, km so not alotwas a bit of a dog and new it needed work, but not this sodding muchi cant afford to buy another engine, then forge aa spare one. its either one or the other meaning the cars going to be off the road for a while. or buy a replacement for it to possibly happen again within a week of fitting it :/ryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Be worth the wait. Will be good to thrash once done and no worrys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 i cant be without a car though. nothing i do is in walking distance, or on a bus route Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 strip the engine down and see what size pistons are in it. i have a set of bearings here everything else is fairley new then. you need to find the cause and then fix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 they are number 2's dude. i might just jump on this piston and rods GB and wait it out. im not going for huge power but at least i know i can upgrade, and have some reliability Quote Link to post Share on other sites
james@cjperformance Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 if you were to strip it and swap a couple out, i have 2 no2 pistons here, would be a case of just swapping them out even as a temp measure so you have a car to use and crank the boost down until you build the other engine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 im either just gunna buy an engine, fit it and sell it on or just build it while its off the road now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Keep your eye out for a cheap engine. If it were me I'd replace and run it stock until you get on your feet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 whos to say the engine i buy isnt going to give up on me within a week againi have bad experiences of buying engines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I know what your saying, take a little mor precausion when buying one , see it running , compression test it. It's like buying a car you just need to be careful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ryan lang Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 i know, dont know if im going to be keeping it after fitting a new engine thoughneed reliability over everything else at the moment with being in college. and this car is definitely NOT reliable Quote Link to post Share on other sites
