March 19, 201510 yr Gutted to do it but this Rex has defeated me so all parts are now up for sale from today. Car ran great although yesterday started running on 2 cylinders so engine wise I'm unsure what's wrong so class it as a non runner I suppose. Loads of stuff to get rid of so il try and post as much pics as poss
March 19, 201510 yr Boo sorry to hear that mate [emoji25] What's the gauge reading on the right oil or water ? Any ide of the offset on those wheels and ven's looking for a spoiler may be worth talking to him
March 19, 201510 yr Author The guage on the right is air temp with a sensor or can be used for intercooler air temp. Not sure on the offset but il pull them off in the next day or so il have a look then.
March 19, 201510 yr Vens newage mate. But sorry to see mate a shame. But I guess some cars get beyond being a project and the time has to come [emoji22]
March 28, 201510 yr Author I can't bring myself to break it plus parts are not selling so I'm going to post a thread with the issues I have and hopefully solve it. Cheers anyway guys
March 28, 201510 yr Author Tell me about it, it's sat on hge drive feeling sorry for itself at the moment. there's alot of annoyed people on ebay from pulled items lol
March 28, 201510 yr wasnt there an engine in another thread - 1400 but would mean you are back up and running and with fully forged CDB reliability? Then you could work on the engine and sell on?
March 28, 201510 yr Will admit it's a shame that even new age sti's are worth more in bits I've broken 3 pre 98 classics in 2 years , 2 eaten by tin worm and 1 with a break in the loom somewhere (they were beyond economical repair) Chuck a thread up with your issues/details and what makes you think the engine's fooked they're might be someone who is near you to help out as there's a few garages that are members on here
April 5, 201510 yr Author I'm in stockport bud, iv got pick up some coilpacks before I do anything as I sold them early on but would definitely appreciate the help if you could. I've not even looked at it for about 3 weeks, I could really do with sorting the little bits out
April 5, 201510 yr I think I still have 3 old coil packs in my shed. Want me to fish em out? They're off a L reg jdm I had a few years back.
April 5, 201510 yr Author That would be great if you could, I can't bear to see this car go to waste! As long as I can get it firing on all 4 il be happy. Compression test came back with 150 across all 4 cylinders so I'm hoping it's something or nothing.
April 5, 201510 yr Ok I'll have a dig tommorow and let you know. They were fine last time used. I bought an engine that only had 3 coils so ended up with 3 as spares.
