Flamer is dead

[yeecup]

Just had a call from the garage after my Cambelt failure, it's bad. All 16 valves are bent, a rocker is broken, it's damaged the power steering pump, the dephaser needs done, the water pump etc etc etc. 2050 to get it fixed. Just not worth it due to the value of the car. Gutted to say the least.

Can't you source a second hand engine as suggested in your other thread?

 

[Lal B3N]

Be much cheaper to source another engine and have the belts done on that for the future.

 

[yeecup]

Just had enough tbh, could buy another engine which could be a dud, don't need te hassle, for sale as non runner lots of nice mods

 

[BIGASH]

Sorry to hear that mate, How much you wanting for it?

 

[yeecup]

600

Long list of mods
cat back
whiteline arb
cup shocks
eibach sport lines
sabelt wheel
pure Motorsport top mounts
goodridge brake lines

etc etc

 

[Poopensharten]

£600 for the whole car and mods?

 

[yeecup]

Yes

 

[Djw John]

See PM! I'd love this wee car back!

 

[yeecup]

Ok John no probs.

 

[Djw John]

Cool, just whenever suits, got a plan!

Cool, just whenever suits, got a plan!

Sounds interesting.

 

[Djw John]

Twas a great wee car tbh, shame to see it dead, would rather save it!

 

[BIGASH]

Guessing this has already gone then? If not I'll take it and will come collect with trailer

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Track *****? It is a clean wee car though.

 

[yeecup]

Sold pending payment back to John

 

[BIGASH]

No worries mate thought it would go quick! Thanks

 

[Christopher]

Gutted. Plans then, John?

 

[Djw John]

Let me speak to the wife (not the one with bewbs) and I'll let you all know

 

[Bluebeard]

Cool, just whenever suits, got a plan!

Does it involve making one good car out of the two, selling the leftover bits and then effectively having a sorted & modded ph1 flamer that owes you nothing?

I bet it does...

 

[Djw John]

Ish. You know how 'Chav' has terrible terrible bodywork?.......

 

[Bluebeard]

So just put your engine and numberplates onto yeecup's car? Good work.

Those ph2 sidestrips on there, i've touched those with my bare hands. Just you remember that... x

 

[Djw John]

I'll put them next to my bed xx

 

[Bluebeard]

LOL!! Pics for evidence!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Bargain !

 

[Djw John]

Lol, deal!

 

[Djw Dave]

 

[Djw John]

Well thats it paid for, paperwork done etc, picking it up on Sat and we'll start a project thread for it then. We now own 5 RenaultSports between us!

Thanks Jamie and good luck with finding a car that you and the boss agree on!

 

[dmallett]

If you want to get rid of the front bumper let me know!

 

[Djw John]

Sorry Dan, we'll be needing it, the silver one will possibly go but just been offered a 1.6 16v meg with fresh belt for £150, dunno if I can be bothered with the hassle of putting that engine into chav and selling as a 172 rep or not though.

 

[dmallett]

Gutted the search continues!

 

[Djw John]

Sorry Dan, finding one is gonna be tricky, what about Chavs and a respray for it?

 

[dmallett]

Ive got one local to me i can have and get sprayed, its just the ease of getting one which is roughly the same colour

Thanks for the offer though!

 

[Djw John]

No worries, just get it sprayed, you wont find a mint one anywhere!

 

[dmallett]

Mine was, until I messed it up

 

[davebem]

It took me 5 years to find a mint matching flame red front bumper for mine, the original one had cracks everywhere. Still after a rear bumper.

 

[koi]

Bargain plus you get your Sabelt wheel!

 

[.GAZ.]

FPMSL.

 

[The Fatty]

you going to want those sportlines?

 

[Djw John]

Yup, afraid so! Dave gets first refusal on everything that I don't want seeing as how it's going to become his car!
