RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 22-01-2014 New rods if thats what it is. Might put some new bearings in there if i got the wonga. RE: Joey, its over. - Frosty - 22-01-2014 Did you use the bearings that you got with the rods? I put new bearings in with mine, think they were about £80/90 though RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 23-01-2014 I used what was in them. They looked healthy to me, not scored or pitted or burnt they didnt look skiny either so i thought f*ck it :p Joey, its over. - Frosty - 23-01-2014 Tbf I think most do just reuse them. I just wondered if that would make any difference RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 23-01-2014 The way i seen it was they're bearings that look half decent and i could spend like you say 80quid on a new set or i could just run with what i got, using what was there made sense to me. If they are the cause of my issue i would be VERY suprised. RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 23-01-2014 Bargain poly top mount bushes! RE: Joey, its over. - Piggy - 23-01-2014 tough luck dood... hope you get it sorted soon I do love this car RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 23-01-2014 The xud boss is on the case!

RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 24-01-2014 I really want to have a half reliable engine side of things so i can sort the suspension, been fapping over all this poly stuff and solid beam mounts and big torsion bars <3 RE: Joey, its over. - procta - 24-01-2014 at least things are moving on for you tom, for me, I could have beat the seller of the engine to a pulp! 2 bastard weeks it took me and my dad to get the car running, then for it to die with in two weeks of been in the engine bay! then a month of it sitting with a f*cked engine and pulling the car back a part again and going thru it all again! My 200 quid recored rad was out more times it was in! I was starting to loose my loaf as I spent cash on parts for the car, that were starting to rust, and get damaged. If it dies this time, that's it. game over the shell will just get sold as a race shell. RE: Joey, its over. - Tom - 29-01-2014 Shit has happened. Decided to build a new lump, and im still going to scrimp but hopefully it will be better than what i've got now. So im now the proud owner of this heap of rubbish. Oh f*ck off photobucket. *Insert picture of pile of xud crap here* Decided to work again. RE: Joey, its over. - Craigus - 29-01-2014 Change the title! Its not over RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - procta - 30-01-2014 better than what you have in it now, RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Tom - 30-01-2014 I'll give you that... RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - ozonehostile - 30-01-2014 This is good RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Tom - 30-01-2014 Havent got the rods yet, so no movement RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - zx_volcane - 30-01-2014 nice pile o bits you have there RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Ryan - 30-01-2014 Were did you buy it in the end?

So stripped the new lump down to be pleasantly suprised. I seem to have an original headgasket, either that or its a replacment and they didnt skim the head because the head is mint. Shame im only using the block :p Thats all folks! RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Piggy - 30-01-2014 at least you have a spare head to fettle with for the next rebuild! RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Tom - 30-01-2014 Im planning on building an engine thats going to be reliable at 190hp... RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Just Sean - 30-01-2014 200 has a nicer ring to it! RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Tom - 30-01-2014 Well it does but i dont like to push my luck :p RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Ryan - 30-01-2014 Nice one tom, you putting the new engine in then? Or is Darren doing it lol RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Tom - 30-01-2014 Not sure yet mate, have to see how long he thinks it'll take and what it would cost, hes bound to do it faster than me even though i've done it before lol! In other news i have new conrods on the way. RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - mr_fish - 30-01-2014 Did i dream it or was there a bank robbery down Cornwall way recently? Tom's fund for Forged Rods RE: Joey, its not so over, quite yet, maybe. - Chris_90 - 30-01-2014 Forged rods?? Surely not?
