It Was Good While It Lasted.....
« on: 08 August 2008, 10:34 »
Had an emergency day off yesterday to sort my car out after it got waterlogged due to the freak weather on Wednesday night.

Got the car low loaded to my mates V dub yard where we proceeded to do a compression test, the result no compression in the 2nd chamber. Stripped her down took the head off to find that I had water in all of my bores. All my pistons are level but I think when we strip down the bottom end im going to have bent conrods - oh well she was good while she lasted. If that is the case and I need a new block then im not going to bother and people can start calling dibs on any bits on the car they want.

 :cry:

Don't be a tart. Get some scat rods then you can stick a gt28rs on and break the 400bhp barrier.

To be honest if I sort it out il get an AGU or ARZ bottom end and just have the KO4, dont want to be spending much more on the car to be honest, just want to tidy it up.

Such a f**king pain in the ass though - back on the buses again, such a piss take  :angry:

Gutted for you mate! It would be a shame not to restore it to its former glory after all the hard work you've put in!

The rain was bad on Wednesday though. I was driving through it for seven hours solid on my way back from Scotland - not a pleasant experience!
