myles Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Top news, car has been given the ok to be repaired. 2-3 weeks at most and Ill be back on t'road. With a shiney front end may I add.
gc8-r Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 are they putting the hawkeye front end on if not,it was'nt worth it,,..... ;) haha haha haha.....
stum450n Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 are they putting the hawkeye front end on if not,it was'nt worth it,,..... ;)haha haha haha..... Chris, you been drinking mate... think you meant blobeye!
myles Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 They offered me the type r front end, then realised I wasnt with Pikey Insurance so went with the bug, which is the best looking, by the way.
gc8-r Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 pikey insurance is good mate,they give me discount as i'm in the family..
stum450n Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I'm thinking we should all do something to honour the sad demise of Chris' big end bearing... Any ideas?
gc8-r Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 pay for the repair....... then that low 11 will be mine first. haha
stum450n Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 pay for the repair.......then that low 11 will be mine first. haha Errrr, will £1.23, some pocket fluff and a sweet wrapper cover it then???
gc8-r Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 well its a start stu.. that 1.23 and my 2.75 is 3.98 near than i was yesterday....... how much would the fluff get on e-bay,....
stum450n Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Found 50p at the park when I took the kids... £4.50 so, errrrr, only another few years and you'll back on the road mate!
gc8-r Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 will update you all tonight...... as now have the money for full rebuild... but will be the end of it racing ever again,as couldnt chance it going bang...! all that it would do is have a rolling road to make sure its safe....and got enough bhp.. and no before enyone says,i would not be able to fit a ecu and get it mapped,its the rebuild and thats it.. as the law(other half)has said that if i pay for engine,all that could be done to it is servicing.. so we will see what goes on . decision will be made monday???!
Big 'D' Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 I would recommend you get it mapped at some stage though mate as I would put money on it that it was detination that killed your big end. Cheers Iain
gc8-r Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 the trouble is ian,if i get the rebuild i wont be able to do anything...(i mean "anything") catch 22,.. its rebuild or sell,and one offered under 3k,2nd person has not got back to me yet!!! and mapping means a ecu (which i cant afford)so might just cut and run...

Piggyback ecu mate like mine would be roughly £500 fitted and mapped mate. Cheers Iain
