No trooper this year
 

A lot more damage than expected, so no chance it will be ready unless a miracle happens

James :(

It doesn't look good in there James. :angst:

I would lend you the Foz but I don't think the brakes would be up to the ring!!

What's gone wrong?

Oh no mate thats three of us out now!:doubledown:

Not good - what's the damage?

Gutted for you Angus, sorry to hear this mate

No not another one.


Mate I am gutted for you.


So do you require a complete rebuild?

None of your mates got a spare engine?

James, thats real bad luck :(

You still coming along in another car (or shotgun with someone) for the beers and laughs i hope?

At least there breaking over here, rather than over there.

Not good news buddy, hope you get the problems sorted very soon.

That's very true

Sorry to hear that mate.....another one bites the dust.

That is not good news mate

Oh f o o k i n g hell mate.
really turning into the ring trip from hell for everyone.

I hope it doesnt end up costing you too much mate.

got a sti 8 engine sitting the back of my van !

not good mate hope you get it sorted soon

This is bad news and crap timing as well. Hope you get it sorted.

By the head gasket going... It has saved the rest of the engine by the sounds of it, the list is still growing tho

Thats proper poo mate.

So whats the score then? What else have you mangled?

That is not good news James,hope you are get sorted:doubleup:

Good luck James:doubleup:



Jura

Bearings... Crank and the heads might be dead aswell

Oh ******** :sadnod:

Not good James:doubledown:, hope you get it fixed and back on the road very soon buddy.

Thats **** luck mate

Gutted mate....

oh james this isnt good real sorry to hear this

Oh fooks sake mate, Really gutted for you.

Not good - Maybe I'll get Simon to map mine again to a nice 200BHP - in fact I may remove the turbo just to be sure!

Needs a whole new engine... thinking of breaking it at the mo as just cant be assed to spend any more money on it


Will be going to Germany in the 22b

Kin 'ell James, not another one.

I have a mate that has a 2.2 CBD and a shed load of other goodies he is just about to put on the 22B forum.
Engine is all Jun built in Japan and he won't want silly money.
He has a heap of proper parts that has amassed from years of racing Scoobs.

If you want to know more phone me 07867 887827 as I am going over his place tonight to collect a trailer from him and you can view all.

I can come & pick you up

Well at least thats one piece of good news.:nod:

you have been offered an engine to use !

Gutted for you James, I've probably missed a post or thread, but when/where did it happen ?. Was it on the strip, track or road use, and assume it was taking some punishment when it went.

Gutted to see this post :sadnod:

Sorry to hear mate

The head gasket has gone in Emma's scoob too

If it was just small roads miles i would Chris, but i dont want to do over 1500miles on an engine that isnt mine, some of it pushing the car on track, if anything happens it will add to my bill that i cant afford as it is

Even thought about getting rid of the car the other night..

I need to get away and enjoy myself and come to a decission on what to do when i get back

I'm sure we will all help you enjoy yourself mate.

Like we have said many previous posts and threads about the trip. A good crack and a good drink with a bunch of mates.

Let the good times roll :beer:

don't give up on the car mate....its too good and you'll regret it

gutted for you mate! keep your chin up

Tim is right James, rubbish luck, but every cloud and all that, hopefully you will be able to build what you want out of it. Its a great car, stick with it.

Too true, its a hell of a car James, so try and be positive mate.:doubleup:

Get the ring over and return with a fresh approach James. Your car is tooooo nice to sell.
One of the nicest new ages I've seen.

Often there are good outcomes from mishaps.

James don't do this you will regret it at end,just chill out and re-think about that...

Good luck

Jura

What ECU were u running James ?

I think he running Syvecs



Jura

Yeah a Syvecs

[QUOTE=Anger;87344]Needs a whole new engine... thinking of breaking it at the mo as just cant be assed to spend any more money on it


No! Dont break it mate it not worth it in the long run. Sell a bit here & there. The money never mounts up as you tend to spend as you sell a part. Germany a Few beers & a re think. :drive:

Not good James..

As said my sti8 engine is there if you wanted to use it..

It is just lucky the head gasket went to alert of the other issues.. obviously previous owner of engine bits was diddled with fundemental issues which you are now facing the bill for :(

Simon

Agreeeeeeeeeed...

Plus if you need any help mate i am round the corner, give me a shout if you need anything...
