Dan507 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Not really much to update, done a few personal touches to the car, got rid of the horrible metal pedals and replaced them with some rubber onesremoved the Evo recaros, and replaced them with my fixed recaro SPG's from my RX8, still trying to find a passenger rail. might have to settle for a standard passenger seat for now. Also sorted out the harnesses, before they where attached to the c-pillar brace lol. i'm going to stripping down the engine over the christmas holidays as my work shuts down for 2 weeks.

Dan507 Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Started on the engine this afternoon. done a few tests and the car had low oil pressure when its warm. it's also pissing oil out of it left right and centre. front and rear crank and driveshaft seals. i've taken the sump of to fines lots of swarf. In cylinder one the rod has so much play in it you can move it with your hand and the shells are completely ruined. Looks like a complete rebuild. unsure what to do at the minute. i'm in two minds in either i keep the car. whether to rebuild and sell or go to town and forge it. Engine ready to come out in the morning. hoping to have the engine apart by the afternoon and see what condition the block and crank is in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jiggaman_16 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Its bad but hopefully its not all that bad. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bostwick92 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Looks a nice car I was looking at buying this before I bought my black one hope you get things sorted mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 So, engine is stripped down! The shell had welded it's sled to the conrod lol. I've decided I'm going to forge it. And I will end up getting the forged ft from TD haven't ordered t yet because I'm not sure what size Pistons and shells I'm going to need. Crank has been replaced with a better one, still needs a slight reground and polish but it's mines better than my other one. I've ordered lots of parts from ID WORKZ In this Boxing Day sale so more goodies coming soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gainzy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Potentially up for sale, open to offersCould be interested in a few bits if you decided to split. What a shame just seems like you haven't enjoyed it for the troubles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 nail on the head, i'm not even that excited about having it back on the road to be honest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 nail on the head, i'm not even that excited about having it back on the road to be honest.Thing is now unless there imported it's hard to find a decent one without paying good money it's alot of work to get them up to scratch with their age. You will get money back quicker splitting it down imo it has some great parts on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
