Well I finally decided to have a look at the engine on this. Well I thought i\'d take the turbo off and rebuild it so I had a spare. When I got the car I wasn\'t given much info on the engine, only that the owner had been told it had low compression. When I spun the flywheel and found it had compression i was surprised. In fact I could only turn it 3/4 of a turn. Asking a few questions I put it down to a sticking apex seal. Now after getting the turbo off and giving it a spin dropping a little bit of oil in the chambers I managed to get it turning freely

. The rear rotor is really smooth and has good compression by the sound of it, Unfortunately the front rotor has thrown an apex seal, chewed it up and spat it out through the turbo

. Still its not the end of the world all I need is a new rotor housing and a rotor and all the seals etc. Oh and a exhaust turbine wheel, bearings,seals!
At least I can sell some of the other bits of the car to pay for it. Stock rear silencers anyone?

Yeah it is. There is slight damage to it near the ariel but nothing that couldn\'t be filled easily. I\'ll take a pic for you and post it up here so you can have a look first.

Alreet. I was up at the car (in passing) so took a couple of pic\'s of the damage to the spoiler. Here are the pic\'s if you still want it let me know and I will remove it from the car. I will take the FTP lenses off over the weekend for you.
I\'ll get a price once I know how much postage is.

i might be able to repair it?

TiddlesRX7 · June 21, 2008, 10:20:01 AM

Yeah it should be fine with a little filler. The second picture I hadn\'t even noticed it until I went to take the pictures. Should be easy to repair also.
