Right it's been almost a month and thought i'd say whats happened!! She's back!! Engine is in and sounds very quiet :) I've put my foot down and everything is in order. Only thing i can see thats annoying me is that on idle it coughs/splutters now and then :S Now i was wondering if anyone can...

Joined :nice:

I know autoadvan ppl really well, they used to mot and tax ppl's car but found it to be quite a long process and some find it cheaper to get it done themsleves. If ur looking for a 9 they actually have one already over here with t&t and the car would be in loughborough by leicester. If ur...

I'm hoping thats what happened then!! This is a real odd one, never seen this happen b4. Just come back from a cruise in lesta and really wana to piss all over them corsa's and saxo's!! They keep calling my car a jordan :angry2:

yeah thats what i thought, even my mechanic thought someone put something in my intake :angry: Nah, only bent a few valves which i replaced, even tho i had them all out to be checked i'm guessing one of them was weak. Hopefully this other b16b block hasn't had any of them hit yet!!

doesn't seem to have, but got another block now, gonna check the new one now to make sure nothings hit anything! Here are the pictures, and its a total mess... Altho only one cyclinder had the valve broken two other cyclinders has marks around them.... How is it that...

Right i've found out the problem of this mess! One of the valves has snapped and has really battered a piston... I'll have to get some photos to show u guys, it's a strange one.

I'm from Hamilton sides, go to the cruises with her the last few tues!! My uncle has a 9 too in loughborough!! In total i think there is about 4 9's here. Decided to keep her now!! :nice: I've just finished work, did a 12 hour shift at ncp @ ema gonna wait till 9am and pop down to the garage...

Thanks b16 mini, will be checking it all over on monday!! Only thing done so far is had the rocker cover off and everything looks normal, so will do a compression test on it, car's doesn't sound healthy when started and smoke doesn't help either! Guess more news on monday!

I do like the car and after having a drive in my mates vti-s made me miss her even more. So conclusion is to find a replacement b16b or i know jap performance parts have a b18 bottom block from an early jdm itr dc2. What i'd like to know is if i just get that bottom block will it run with the...

The clocks on there are different, the ones i had at the time of the crashed stopped working the actually mileage of the car is 70k thought the guy was interested in the clocks.

Been looking for a replacement engine, but really pricey. Found a B18 just the block for about £600 from jap performance and i'm sure i can use the same head, sump and gear box. My mechanic is going to open her up and find out the cause, had the top cover off and nothing seems to be off there...

Nah, its' been though hell, had a front end crash it's got a post on here: http://www.ek9.org/forum/interior-exterior/1563-help-fixing-crashed-ek9.html aswel as timing belt snapped aswel due to the crash, but car was running fine with a few mod but recently heard a few sounds from the...

it's a V reg, mileage on clock says roughly 55 i think and condition clean apart from the back cuz some women went into the back of her. Will post some pics of the car in a min.
