do i sell or repair forged build ????

[russ78]

ok guys been another shite week

My newly forged engine is suffering from blowby which basically means it needs new wossner piston rings.

when it happened It was the last problem in a long line of problems for me and when I got home I put her up for sale on the forum,

but because of the engine problem im not gonna see a good return from her, so situation is this:

OPTION 1 - if I sell the glanza the most id expect to see is £2800 which will get me a pretty bog standard GT or Glanza and then im back to square one but have my reliability back a car I just enjoy for what it is.

OPTION 2 - to repair my glanza is gonna cost around £500 if I put in the labour as well, so she will be off road for a few months during the shit weather but I end up with a forged glanza

the whole point to this is im still in two minds about both options and just want some friendly advise and options what would u guys do in my situation ?

thing with doing that mikey is even more expense,

im not worried about it being off road its more the labour time that's holding me back

Just repair it and stop being a bitch

its suffering from Blowby which means rings were probably not clocked properly during building process but I cant confirm this as engine builders did that part of the engine not me

I gotta prove that they were at fault with the rings which is pretty near impossible

that would be fucking amazing dude

but engine building isn't something you can rush but once its built getting it back in could be done in 1 day easily enough with enough hands that is lol

Repair it...it won't cost 500 quid if it just needs a rehone and rings! Wont cost a lot atal.

to be sure its 100% spot on ill be replacing big end shells and thrust inc rod shells,

cant afford any more misshaps

ok guys bit of good news,

I had a long think about what I really wanted and realised when the glanza is rebuilt it will be worth double what im selling it for,

and lets face it no other car will ever put as bigger smile on my face so....... its gonna be a long winters worth of rebuilding for me but hopefully ill see you all on the other side when she running sweet bring on japfest 2014 I will make it next year guys .....
