Sell/Break/Rebuild?????

[Laeeq]

ahhh not so good mate...after all that time it took you to find one that you wanted:2Mad  

If you do decide to break the i will be interested in the single turbo kit (as long as in good condition +

 - Greddy Air/Fuel ratio gauge £50

but i would still get her rebuild and enjoy the summer driving:yes

[logicalChimp]

shame mate,

just do what feels best but like others have said, i dont think it would be worth breaking now.

also, the power figure 294bhp, i take it that is at the wheels??

what i would like to know is, what could the factors be for such low compression after such a sort period of time apart from springs??

Hmm - well, I had a similar Hurley engine when I brought my old bag of nails - compression was so low it just could not be started, was less than 20k.

Rotechniks stripped it as part of the rebuild, and said the housing etc had probably been used for the previous 2-3 rebuilds, and were absolutely fubared.  Strange really, as it was supposed to have been rebuilt with all new parts, according to the chap i brought it from.  I mean, it failed due to water seals - all tips etc were intact, but there were chunks missing from the housings, as if the internals had disintegrated...

Might be interesting to see if yours is the same...

^^^^^

Ouch!

[Laeeq]

Are they still in business with all this great feedback and horror stories:o:2Confused

[MaLicE]

thats a shame mate you havent had much luck with the wheel etc recently!

[MaLicE]

also there is an engine for sale on here and fduk same guy wants 600 for the engine... no history though might be a cheap fix while you rebuild yours in your spare time???

[ash]

Thanks for the advice guys. Yeah I not had that much with her to be honest, what with the tyre issue and what i thought may have been a good old flat battery

Thanks Malice - will have a look, as that is another route i suppose?

Fortunately its a weekend car and not my main drive otherwise i reckon i would be a bit more dissapointed!

[ENVYD]

mate sorry to hear this!
 
if you do stip the car tho! i woul dbe interested in the E-01 you have!

[Brett]

A good 2nd hand engine might be the best solution?  (If you can get one with a warranty)

Hi mickh - I bought the car without the nitrous kit and was told it never ran it but was installed?!?!

I will give you a call mickh. Oh and the company in Luton was PTS they remember the car and did the single turbo conversion too.

Cheers Matt, liking the acronym for PTS!! Went to PTS before ages ago with a Fiesta RST, didnt seem too bad then, but that was a ford with a CVH not a rotary!
