Oh well, it was bound to happen, the engine has now blown up
 

In the pug :D

1.9 with twin carbs on a 1.6 box being prepped :norty:

Never fails :(

Did anyone have a book running on this happening?............... :wonder: :lol1:

Not on the pug, couldv'e had a win double :D

Add a poll to this... ;)

Who thought it was the scoob??? :D:D

:brickwall What do you do to these cars? :eek:

don't get time to open the book with Cookie..... :)

I think cookie could blow the engine on a push bike :p :D

:lol:

well its done over 130k miles now.

Just sat on A41 doing 80ish and CLANK CLANK etc.

Full of oil etc, just one of those things :(

I have had a 1.9 lump in the garage for months now so just need to fit it in now :wonder:

stick with the 1.6 mate. the 1.9 is a lot heavier and messes up the handling compared to the lighter 1.6. get it bored out or stroked and fit some decent cams and twin webbers. will eat 1.9's all day long then :D

I was told the 1.9 block was the same, just had a longer stroke, I already have all the parts so will be sticking to that for time being.

Keeping the 1.6 gearbox though :)

Can't wait to see what David from API says when he reads the title of this thread from u Cookie :thumb: :D

:D ;)

must admit have never owned one just going on what i've read and been told before. if you've already got all the parts mate go for it.

although, don't fancy sticking an mi16 lump in it? ;) :norty:

Maybe one day, I really fancy getting into these cars a bit, gonna practice and start slowly, as i want to do it myself.

Just need a engine hoist now :)

nah, just lift it. that's what i used to do on rs turbos. then i done my back in lol.

:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Your going for James Bond's record of blowing cars up:D

Oh well, at least it lasted 5 months :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I'd have given 5 days :p ;) :D

And nearly 10'000 miles, was doing nearly 200 miles a day in her. :)
