corrado in cornwall and rrts 2009 pics
rookierod replied to volksworld13's topic in General Car Chat
im in cornwall, st erth (hayle) just got a 2ltr valver with sutle mods, but outbody has seen better days, saving my pennies to get it sorted thou. there is also another g60 local here, he is on here i think his name is tim -
fuel filter? maybe could be starting to clog up and restristing the flow of fuel?
-
a lot of people are saying there isnt any gains from rapping it as a waste a time, but i havent done it myself so never no.
-
its just the 1600 cvh on efi. we atually got a 1.1 mk3 that use for our cheap runaround and its just gone straight through mot (had do shocks n f-r brake pipes first) mrs wanted to make the runn around cool, but cant be assed with the spraying bumpers n that as not worth it, so was woundering if its worth doing as long as not rotten right out. dont mind a bit of welding as its free to do myself.

also cus he wants the wheels i have a spare set of 15" mk6 escort si alloys with motable tyres on from whitch were spares for my stockcar but cus building a new car i dont need them so could slap them on

i no prob wont be any ford lovers here and i ant a fan of them. but that does pep think to mk3 xr2i. i been offered one from a mate for 100 quid without the wheels. just bout to run out t&t. only prob is headgasket was leaking oil from side of the head, he has put stop leak in and it has seemed to stoped it for the min. is it worth mot n floging on as dont seem to see many left on roads or in the scrappers nowdays. cant rem the millage, it black tinted lowered etc, obv it had a beating but but looks smart enough. it also has a pair of mint recaro seats in it. cat1 alram etc. is it worth doing to make bit pocket money on? would have to see if headgasket starts leaking again wether to change gasket before flog it. i may be lucky n not have to. obv gonna check make sure not rotten underneath, but is it worth a go and still mot on, what a average nick one worth nowdays?

just found this while sitting on youtube bored and thought it may intrest a few of you. some pep have to much time on they hands but i bet its a good laugh
-

-

-
thanking you. looks like just gonna bit the bullet and rebuild lump as put up with the lil oil leaks and burning of bit water but not crank seal has totaly gone. pain in ass
-
hi stupid question but im price up the parts for engine rebuild, what is my engine code? car is a kreg 2ltr 16v. thanks and sorry for the stupid question
-
yeah that what i thinking, anyone got a rough idea of parts cost? can do all the work obv except from skimming. just trying to talk the misses into the idea of rebuilding.
-
also would need timing kit to and may as wel chuck in a krcam to. but is it all worth it. just dont want to buy a lump and the couple months down line it starts knocking. plan on keeping the car for a while.
