They picked the car up and gave me the bad news shortly after it arrived.

that sucks dude, these cars are getting old and engines looms are getting old and brittle through heat causing all sorts of problems, was it a stock car or modded?

Sad times dude, really not nice to hear... I mean you\'ve only just bought it / picked it up and from what I\'d read, not even given it any boost yet?!
Hopefully there\'s some light at the end of the tunnel.....

Engines gone...

2nd day WTF.....

My heart sank when i read those words..
I too have recently just bought an FD. I can\'t imagine how gutted you must be right now. At least from what i\'ve read your car is in very good hands with Pip at WGT

Sorry to hear that mate......you\'ve joined the dreaded club.

a.tapos · March 21, 2012, 07:24:10 PM

Damn another one bites the dust,did sound mechanical in video,well I hope you do get it done,I know it\'s a shame but at least now of you have it done you can have it built how you want and know its reliable,though I know it\'s a pain and alot of money after 2 days,the dreaded rotary does it again

matthewbellamy · March 21, 2012, 10:31:06 PM

So sorry to hear this mate..

really hope you have better luck with it but everyone is right you are in good hands with Pip he is a legend..i thought my FD had bit the dust as it felt lumpy and hardly any boost at all. Turned out it was just fowled plugs and HT leads but he spotted it straight away..the man is a god!

richrx · March 23, 2012, 06:31:08 PM

How did you on with the seller ? I\'m quite curious as I was thinking of havi g a car imported by him in the future...

Thanks

Richard

Im afraid i cant say at the moment.

However, my wife had her car, Nissan Elgrand imported from JM Imports.. Cant recommend him enough...

Sorry to hear the bad news.

I was with a white FD owner yesterday who unfortunately whilst at a rotory specialists having his brakes looked at one of the rotors went, they confirmed it needs rebuilding. It was rebuilt last year and fortunately still under warranty.

Hope you get yours fixed soon.

FD3S Efini · March 25, 2012, 02:02:51 PM

hey dude going off your video sounds like a chipped tip, any details from WGT about it?

Hope you get it sorted soon mate and shame to have a rebuild so soon
