Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Pulled away in traffic and bang.., car was fucked. Girlfriends dad's a mechanic and turned it over think is I have dropped a con rod... Me and my wee red glanza are history Quote
dangeestarlet Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Nooooooooooooooooooooo gutted for you mate, I have a engine here £525 delivered Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 I dunno what I'm doing with it tbh, it's just been problem after problem and I have no money left 😟! Already in debt. And na I didn't just pulled away. Seemingly going by Craig the pervious owner the engine has only done 30k miles Quote
Bussey Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Get it fixed mate, these things happen! Chin up Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Get it fixed mate, these things happen! Chin up I have no money 😟 this thing has skinned me with it's problems And now I have no car to get to work Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 What's annoying me is I'm never hard on the engine. And I bought this as it just had a full rebuild !! Quote
Bussey Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah it's a bitch, feel for you, you'll just have to find a way to bounce back mate, even if it means buying a complete shitter for work for a while, until you pay everyone back you owe money too and save for a new engine. Always a way Quote
hookie663 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Fuck that's pity mate really clean nice looking v mate chin up my blew up a day after I got mine resprayed llf rings happen lik Quote
maddox710 Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Gutted dude I have block and pistons and rods here if needed Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 I don't know what to do! I need to weigh up how much it's gonna cost me as I wouldn't put in a replacement engine as I don't trust anyone now. I need to know how much I would be for parts for a full rebuild for worst case and a full forged build !Any help is appreciated at this point Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Gutted for you mate Yea man I'm fucked to say the least lol ! I need some help Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Has anyone got any numbers or ways of contacting engine builders such as tuning developments ? If I'm getting it done in doing shit right this time Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Yeah it's a bitch, feel for you, you'll just have to find a way to bounce back mate, even if it means buying a complete shitter for work for a while, until you pay everyone back you owe money too and save for a new engine. Always a way Haha I have another car but needs tax and mot! Looking and pricing a new engine build tomorow just getting names and numbers to phone Quote
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 This is the problem buying a "rebuilt" engine unless there are reciepts to say it was a reputable builder that carried out the work personally i wouldnt teust it, not saying noone else can build engines but you dont know the person you are buying from.If you are rebuilding it for the price difference you may aswell go forged, but if you have someone build it for you be prepared to wait Quote
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 On another note though make sure you know exactly whats weong before you start looking to rebuild might not have to be rebuilt and your mate has gave you a false diagnosis what were the symptoms ? Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 On another note though make sure you know exactly whats weong before you start looking to rebuild might not have to be rebuilt and your mate has gave you a false diagnosis what were the symptoms ?It's definetly down in the big end that's gone dude so will need to be rebuilt 😟 how much will I be for a build and how much will I be for a forged build ? If I'm getting it done it's gonna get done right ! Not fucking about anymore Cheers in advance Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 I was in abit of a mood last night as expected I suppose.No point in me pointing fingers etc but it's not been right since day one, so I want it done right now and be sorted for good ! Quote
bucketep91 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 If it wasnt right from day one then why did you buy it?Unfortunetly, shit happens its no ones fault so no point passing the buck! Plus your not a real starlet owner till u blow one up anyway! Quote
Chris_GlanzaV98 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Lol bucket haha Depends what specYou want tbh loads of different ways to build them depends what you are after if you are staying ct9 i would just stay standard but to chase big power you have to forge it really Quote
Skimmy237 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Posted February 11, 2014 Hmm I dunno what to do, and after I bought it, it wasn't right dude or as you said I wouldn't have bought it Quote
bucketep91 Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 What do u mean it wasnt right? What was wrong with it?Onwards and upwards mate! I know how you feel, ive blown a couple up now. Just replace it and build a forged one over time with your current engine. Quote
