it ending apparently

[smudgersmb]

my engine did :grin:

I was doing just under 7,000rpm 2nd gear, leaveing a roundabout, about to go past a Ford Escort RS2000 (late model) when all of a sudden...................

3 pistons on my engine

Still, it was a knacked engine when I bought the car 2 years ago, & whilst I don't give it grief all the time, I do give it 6,000 to 7,000 down country lanes and roundabouts, especially if something thinks it fast, just to teach em a lesson

I ordered a 1380 Trackday engine off of Simon (Morspeed) in November so that will be going in, running a 3.9FD. According to the spec it should rev to 8,000rpm.

Only one way to find out :grin:

wicked smudger!!!

how long??

[smudgersmb]

Well I ordered it in November but the 'box is still not built, but I phoned him on Tuesday & explained its my only form of transport to/from work so would need it quite soon :grin:

Picking up a custom loom on Sunday at Stoneleigh Kit Car Show, then its rip the old loom out, fit new loom, fit new digi dash in, new starter motor etc etc etc & thats just to get it running again.

Whilst the engine/box is out I will fit new discs/pads whilst their :grin:

Time limit? Fast as possible!

...important details in the story...

[smudgersmb]

It was fine the week before when I ragged it against a bike :grin: Nearly crashed into a wall as I left the roundabout (the bike was on my inner line) which made me "GULP" but the bike owner was impressed, I left infront of him :grin:

Have you got your car in the projects section or anywhere else Smudger, because I would sure love to see photos of it and read the spec.
