My understanding was Whifbitz said everthing is fine?!
Aren\'t u currently trying to sell it?

It does sound as if its only firing on one rotor, if it sounds like a tractor..

[BlitzBoy]

yeah sounds like one of the rotors gone dude

[ianelvar]

Sounds like it\'s running on one rotor. What was the exact sequence of events when it all went wrong? Was it under boost, did it make any funny noises etc?

[ianelvar]

Lol. Beaten to it!

[EDZAIRX7]

I was going to swap with wrx it was all working till we done test drive suddenly it happend..
 
Whifbitz checkte the car day before - and car was good.. one day later the car is making tracktor sound
 
First gear KICKTED superb then second gear suddenly all power cut, NO BREAKES and NO SPEED.
CAR JUST STOPPED
 
yesterday i drive back from whifbits to home and it was driving amazine perfect

Afraid it sounds as if the car needs a rebuild.

I wouldn\'t start throwing around accusations about a trader/specialist tbh, as they know they\'re stuff and have a good reputaion to uphold, so I doubt very much they would \'sabotage\' your car....

[EDZAIRX7]

thats very  true what you say, i shouldnt blame them, but it appears to be odd..
 
been told the car is okey, then next day i drive and pushed a bit then this happen .

[Alex T]

from reading previous threads, and for sale ads on ebay and Pistonheads, it seems as if your car has \'not really played ball\' for a while now? Even the vids on youtube, car doesn\'t sound too healthy either..
and all these were well before Whifbitz looked at the car...

[ianelvar]

Could be as simple as one of the plugs isn\'t sealing properly, and then you\'ll get lack of compression. Would make sense as the plugs get pulled to do a comp test. Pull them out, check the holes for fragments or carbon, and check the washers on the plugs. refit them, and try again.

[nikp]

Doesn\'t mean anything. Likelihood is a tip has cracked/chipped/broken. You\'ll miss no water or oil under those circumstances.

The video you posted on youtube. It looks like your racing the car from cold. Not good on any car let alone this car.

[EDZAIRX7]

The spark plugs were loose. i clean them and pluggded back in, then tryed to start the engine but it didnt start and now battery is dead. I really start hating rotary engines
...

I feel for ya bud, but I\'ve already got 2! Mine has been a complete hightmare, but it\'s a good feeling when it all comes together. You\'ll probably need to de-flood her. There are instructions in the stickies section I think, but shout of you need any further help.
My advice is to put the battery on charge overnight, grab a few beers, and come back to it tomorrow with a fresh head. If the plugs were loose then there\'s probably nothing seriously wrong with her There are loads of people here to help, so don\'t loose heart just yet! Let us know how it goes dude.
