hey Mir how are you buddy? im sorry not to reply sooner. the problem is i cant do anything with my car sofar. i wish i would have some space to put it. i live in a flat with no garage and parking place. so the car is storaged at RoTechnics for the moment till i decide what to do with it. im thinking that i leave the whole work to them in the end. cause of the lack of space.

the rex needs a engine rebuild
most likely new twins, most likely a new clutch and if then a better flywheel,
new cat or decat, new air filters and pipes, new exhaust system,
new water pump, want to put in a better intercooler,and dont know if other auxiliaries need checking. then suspension needs to be checked front and back. didnt check for rust on the under carriage. and then the matter of interior and exterior. i will let the guys from RoTechnics sort out the engine as i dont have a clue about rotaries for the moment(im hitting the books to learn). then ill start on the other stuff.
:3Confused:3Confused:3Confused:Hammer:Hammer

if i forgot something, sorry but there is so much to do on this car. hope to get it running by the end of October. thet the interior and exterior works start.
so i have my work cut out for me so to speak...:Thumbs-up

No offence dude but from what youve just said, youre walking into a whole world of open wallet surgery. Why do you think the engine needs a rebuild? Has something happened since the last compression test I done? mid to high 6s isnt rebuild territory. Also I know the turbos on that car were changed a few months before you bought it. If you leave the car at a tuners and say "sort it all out" and dont discuss budget etc, youre gonna get taken for a VERY expensive ride (im talking no change from 8-9k at a guess from what youve just described!)

most likely so.

ok then lets assume that the engine is ok. it certainly leaks in the insides. the car billowed smoke like a dragon. still didnt want to start when warmed up. had to put a bigger batery for added power to start again. so most likely the batery was gone or the alternator didnt work right. idling was really ruff and uneven. mostly the car choked and smoked. and to be honest i dont trust this car. when i was talking to the seller he said the car done cca 45k but on the speedo is a different story(made a bit suspicious). its in km and its well above 100k(1mile = 1.61km), so my point is i like to start from a clean slate so to say. i bought this car as a project car. i dont understand the engine. otherwise ill done it my self(ive dome my other runner which is a cylinder engine). but suspension and other mechanical i can do. and the car went for a health check and i was told that the rotor bearings are giving away which could lead to inernal damage. so i decided to do a bit of upgrading. the turbos i still didnt decide what to do with. i did get a price and it is a reasonable bit lower than you said. and to be honest i fell in love with this car, even in its sorry state. so if it takes what it takes i dont mind. im not planing to give it away for a long time.

so should i opt for a second opinion? where else can i go with a non runner when i live in london? all the good garages are miles away.

I will text you tomorrow, wait for my text message regarding rebuild and other stuff

You was told the rotor bearings are giving way??

12at · May 23, 2011, 03:55:01 PM

sounds like someone could be telling porkies pies to make some money out of the new fella...

Before you go any further mate i would be compression testing the motor and running through a few things before leaving it at a shop for them to have free range and hit you with a nice big fat invoice to fill !!

oveck4 · May 23, 2011, 10:36:57 PM

Decided. mi missus didn\'t want to hear me medling with and engine i dont know much about. so ill se what can they do there in Reading. and how much they charge in the end...

i have it written down. it was that i just wrote from memory, more like this: aligment of rotors might be gone

oveck4 · May 23, 2011, 10:46:38 PM

won\'t know until engine stripped... will I? plus i want to make sure that the compression check is done one more time. just for my peace of mind. but that will be next week someday if i get time. to much work at the mo.:wave
