well at about 01:35am on Sunday Morning on my trip back home tht strange noise got worse!!!!
what started off as a tapped type noise turned into a Piston Slap type noise wich ended up in a Blown Rear Turbo, 1 Glowing RED Front Manifold,Cooking Radiator,and Pston 1(what i can tel lfrom)has cracked..
i noticed the noise originally when picking the car up,but thort it ws the new lifters they installed that i supplied for them..
and gradually over Saturday got noisier while setting up for the wedding..
After a decision to wait in the sticks for AA i decided to venture as far a si can go,so i did.. i made it to Waipawa with a Farking loud Slapping noise,a temprature systems that fluctuated more than the price of Petrol and a smell that no 1 can explain.. somewhat like a death smell..(the End is Nigh!!!)
caning it at 140 seemed to smothen the noise out and keep tempratures at bay,i lost all boost nd had an unconsistant torque range.
i wanted to cry, as many of you know i just purchased the vehicle back as i loved her too much...but now it is dead...
Lucky Mum and dad were behind me in the ST-r and picke dme up in Waipawa and then ventured to theirs (02:30am) and then i took the ST-r home and got home at 04:00am sometime).
i then rang the old owner and said WTF, he replies WTF,my mech serviced the car recently and " checked the pistons"(how do you do this lol) and was al lgood aparantly,i hd to change the radiator a sit ws leaking and losing pressure(we now know why this was too)
basically im looking at $2k to fix her up,but he is only CONSIDERING meeting me halfway cost wise,excl other ****..
personally i feel ripped off(knew the engine ws going ,so flick car FAST).
what if i had sodl this to someone else and this happens,my nam goes BANG!
anyhow,i am tired, 3 hours sleep and i just wanna cry!!!!
seems not a good weekend for Club boys or Month shall i say,,,
things happen in 3??
