Fucked.com! Broken pistons anyone?

 

[Mr R.]

Great to see this at CSS, whoops that's not good mate...

 

[Stu.]

cheers! Yeah went to the ring after it and this is the outcome! Standard engine back in tomorrow and I'll get shot of the charger

 

[Mr R.]

Oh not worth building a forged bottom end or turning the boost down?

Not really got the love nor the money it / for a forged build. been throwing money at it since december and now its just time to stop

 

[Djw John]

Too much boooooost

​did you get it home ok?

 

[Adamm.]

Oooft fair play mate go standard with itb's and some proper usable power

 

[The Russian.]

Bad times mate, what's the plans next then?

 

[dmallett]

Geeeez good job stu!

 

[Ash']

Oh s**t i bet that made some expensive noises

 

[Paul172sport]

Oh bugger. Hope you got it home again ok.

What's your plan drop it back to standard?

 

[Harpham]

Gutted for you, Stu.

 

[Dan@SJM]

Pm me a price for the charger.

 

[Rob]

Do an exchange plus cash for the itb's dan!!!

Sorry to see that stu, proper shame.

 

[Djw Dave]

Member that time you said YOLO

FYL

Sorry to see that stu, proper shame.

I need to see how much he wants first!

Got to change the engine for a strong one yet.

 

[Stu.]

Put some thick oil in it and took it very easy home! Proper gutted was going great after getting it mapped!

Got a start at about 11 today with Fraser.j, old engine out with bits stripped off it, replacement (origional) engine tarted up, sump sealed up and fitted! Need oil, and rad + coolant fitted and it should run tomorrow.

 

[scotty10]

428's are more suited to the standard inlet, quite mild. 438'a are a refined version of the 421's that can be used with the stock ecu. 421's are the wildest you can go with the standard pistons.

421's how much are these to have fitted out of curiosity....they sound mean

 

[Dan@SJM]

Well your looking at £500 plus the cams from myself. That's for new belt kits and labour.

You've got a bit handy eh wee man?

I'm glad I got a run out in it before it s**t itself!

And how much are the cams Dan?? And where to buy from?

 

[Clio172T]

f**ked.com! Broken pistons anyone?

fair play for the quick turn around, and doing all them miles to 'ring in it!

 

[Stu.]

Been a busy couple days, back on the road now! Minus the charger, which makes me very sad

 

[Djw Dave]

Good and bad news wee guy x

 

[LiamR172]

Gutted about that Stu! Poor flower

 

[Djw John]

Does it feel all slow and s**t like a 320d now?

 

[Craig.]

Really sad times as said in txts mate its something to do with the boost restrictor setup imo as you cant be that unlucky to loose two engines & DannyR have oil problems too.

You have to be when your making an allready unreliable car, More unreliable I think you put a curse on it! :rasp:

Well I'm outa money and love to find out! Hopefully who ever buys it has a bit more luck with it. Still properly gutted! Standard feels slow now lol

[Renault Wolverhampton]

oooffftttt a proper car!

 

[Mr R.]

Steve did you get your rear adjusters fitted?

 

[Rob]

It's weird how much the turini's modernise the ph1.

 

[R-Sport.]

Yes- its gone down another 15mm- However I want another 15/20 mm All round- for the perfect rake- but we ran out of time last week fitting everything else!

Still need to fit the spacers as well, but not sure whether going to buy FK or H&R ones- Already have dans kit off here but not sure whether to fit them-

[Mr R.]

Steve ill always come over in my van and play with the ride height for you, can fit the spacers while im there.

[Rob]

Fresh plates, no stripes, some springs/coilovers, and different wheels. Then it may look fairly decent.

 

[Dan@SJM]

You appear to have a bit of overspray on your rear windows.

 

[dmallett]

dafuq is that black thing above.
