Here's a few I took with my phone, time went so fast ! Didn't get around most stands. Mrc stand was well placed, Rx8's seemed to be very popular from memory. Didn't see many 7's throughout the day.

I don\'t know how to imbed it sorry.

Engine sounds very sorry for itself

What did you choose to do? Mines still totally standard twins rats nest jobby. Might be worth simplifying the nest while it\'s out,  want to keep twins really.
I\'m nowhere near the funds for a rebuild yet tho I don\'t think. Did you do the 2 rotors while it was out?
It seems like a minefield of choices and decisions.

I\'ll try photobucket now thanks.

I havnt long got back into the house, I\'m trying to upload a vid to YouTube from my phone.

I think it\'s died

I took out the top plug of first rotor and then the 2nd rotor.  The pssh noise was loud and clear from the rear rotor, hardly noticeable from the front although still a constant \'beat\', just not a loud pssh. Guys on other forum instantly stated this is a sign of no compression on front rotor gutted!

I don\'t really know where to from here.

Thanks boosted, going to have a look tomorrow

Thanks for the replies

I haven\'t got a pfc but have a boost gauge so could check vac? I\'ll also check the vac line to sensor, thanks, and take plugs out on weekend to turn the rotors.

I have an awful feeling it\'s died

I\'m almost positive I\'ve dragged gunk into the filter, I\'ve got a new one ready to replace it

Yes grinder and it was when the car first came across a hill so was under load, more strain?

I\'ve had boost pipes bow off in my s13 and power just dies, I\'m not sure if it would cause a rumble being a rotary.

I didn\'t take the plugs out or clean them, I was amazed it started after so long! So it maybe plug related or hopefully fuel has got Loads of gunk mixed in with it and clogged the filter and it\'s fuel related. It\'s the constant rumbling vibration which has made me panic, so wanted to know if it\'s an obvious sign of something really.

Blown rotor and knackered seals scare me. It\'s only done about 2000 miles in the 5 years since its rebuild tho.

Ok grinder, thanks for your input

Hopefully it\'s not anything drastic, I have checked boost pipes and cam sensor hose.

What would be the cause of a blown rotor, it was running fine before I took it off the road, started fine after a year, big coincidence or have I possibly done something disastrous. I let if warm thoroughly, checked oil water etc (I know it needs changing before I started using it properly, I didn\'t go over 20mph and this happened

It feels like the vibrating is stemming from the block itself, will  not idle, power is almost non existent, just about to keep the car going jus by feathering the throttle, I didn\'t try wot, was a lot to nervous.

It\'s very hard to explain, and apologies for snapping a tad but over 30 views and up for 2 days I thought some input would be nice, even if it was to ask for a more clear explanation

Have you got to be in a certain clique to get a reply or any help on here?
Thank fduk for the other site.

Started the car up last night for the first time in probably over a year
New battery and it fired up fine, idled fine, let it run for half hour or so, perfect.

Today, started fine, let it run for 10 mins or so, went for a little tootle down the street, 1st slowly then into boost (feathering throttle mind), all good, Into 2nd, all good, into 3rd and all good but then car almost dies, revs plummet, everything\'s vibrating lots with hardly no revs/power, get to the top of the hill just about (20 yards), 3 point turn and engine dies (I was afraid to rev it, was lots of vibration). Sit there gutted for a min, then try to start it, It starts just about! Luckily home was down hill, but still cut out at the junction and again getting onto the drive.

Hardly no power and I can feel the vibrating/rumbling through the car  what  could have happened while the car had been stood?.

Any help please guys, I\'m miles from any kind of rotary garage, I\'m talking a few hundred probably.
