Why new engine? What's wrong with current engine?

 

its hunting for idle and the milage doesnt really make it worth fixing!!!think im getting a 3sge

 

Do you plan on getting some matching wheels?

You could sell your bbs's to me to fund them

 

they are the old owners wheels its going to be sitting on a set of 15" mk2 golf wheels for a long time

 

my mate had a red one in cork about a year ago... seriously fun machines... your so low to the ground its like a kart....

Enjoy...

haha jayzus here we go again...

 

looks cool i think... good luck with it... and keep us updated on how she's comin on

 

nice yoke mark,id say we'll be able to have a rust competition at the next meet

As shane said above it is a cam engine in it a seriously handy engine to work on,took me 55mins in college to strip it down to a bare block and rebuild it with fresh big ends,rings,timing belt and associated parts (beat the college record by 17mins

) i would stick with whats in it you could always fit a few tasty bits you'll find loads the cam boys are always selling em,also that idle issue could be down to your idle speed control valve in the throttle body the waxstat in them gives a good bit of bother also would be worth checking your timing with a strobe just to be safe..it'll be handy

 

Nice car mark best of luck

Have to say, great cars these, lots of fun. Think there is a racing series of these in the UK. Are the supercharded ones hard to get?

 

stuck a set of 15" golf mk2 wheels on today and they actully suite it very well so ill be getting them repainted and keeping them.also found out what i can repair and replace.it needs 2 new rear arches and 2 sills.front wings might be repairable but im not sure yet.the engine in it is sold which actully suites me because i can have a good look at the bay and repair rust rust etc

 

friend of mine has one of these. started into it, engine out stripped to bare block, he sent the shell away to be welded but it was so rotten with rust there was nothing good enough to weld the repair panels to so the project was scrapped. pity as it was a T bar one as well with a 4-age engine. still has it sitting there so if you need any parts let me know and i'll see if he has them

Will, what college are you in, and where do I sign up? Sounds like a blast!

 

Mark I would rebuild the engine in her rather than replace it, you would be taking the engine out either way?? they are a good engine.. Colton(robert) on here was rebuilding one and has gone through the process of taking one out of a MR2, he may give you a few tips or pointers?

If you want to change the engine and fancy something different, what about this??

phase 2 mechanics apprenticeship

 

I thought first years made tea, went the shop and swept floors.

Fair play to you. I still haven't done a timing belt on my own and i'm playing with cars and engines years.

 

i was straight in the deep end from day one which was great
