little num Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Its been 5 weeks now since my engine has run, since the accident i started it up for about 2 mins making sure it was all ok. Thought id do a little walk around the crashed car then started it up, it missfire's after abit and leaks oil from the return braided hose off the oil cooler. Finally found the missfire problem, as the bonnet was ripped off and the car cover isnt waterproof the middle of the engine had filled up with water, and i mean filled up the complete coilpacks were under water but still run lol. Dried it all out and was puring like a kitten afterwards, anyway less of me chatting rubbish here is the youtube clip enjoy. svxejqrDo50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little num Posted January 6, 2011 Author Share Posted January 6, 2011 What the old car, strip and send to the car heaven. New car strip it out install my brakes - diff - seats - dash panels - engine box - then redo all the subframe bolts so i can get the right setup i want for track. The silver 1 isnt going to be road legal for 2011, just track - drift use only so will be trailerd eveywhere. Ive got 8 weeks to get the silver 1 done as there is a trackday at Donington park on the 5 march im aiming for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come down our road every Saturday and Sunday looking for scrap. They used to have a kid walking by the side of the truck blowing a horn. They've now upgraded to a dixie horn and also shouting "SCRAP IIIIRRROOOOONNNNNN!!!" haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
