nissanman312 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) We was on the way back from santa pod And while building speed in 4th my buddies engine let go in spectacular style It put a rod straight threw the block I really feel for him it's his pride and joy He is not having a good time he lost his sister 2 weeks ago now this If anyone knows of a good evo 6 engine shout up Edited October 25, 2015 by nissanman312 Quote
GMballistic Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Sorry to hear about his sister, poor guy that's a terrible loss to bear. My old Impreza some years ago did the same thing as his Evo ~ I'd already had the engine built once as well & it had only just covered 12K miles since the rebuild. Sucks. Quote
nissanman312 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 Yeah he's gutted But fair play to him he's pretty hands on and I'm not lol but I'm willing to hand spanners and make loads of tea. He's just weighing up options now but he's determined to have it up and running bigger beter stronger So it will live again This engine e however has had it I'm afraid Quote
Richf Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I put an 8 MR engine in my 6, the rods are a weak point unfortunatly. Cost me £2250 for the engine from a breaker Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I presume this is rik ? Send him a big hug from me and really hope he gets the car sorted Tell him to keep positive Quote
Ekona Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Full chat in 4th on public roads? Really? That's gotta be the thick end of 110mph+. Sorry to hear about his sister though, that's awful news. Quote

jimboy2 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Would a 9 engine fit? Surely that would be the way to go. He must be gutted. Always wanted a Evo. May still scratch the itch one day. Quote
nissanman312 Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 I'm not sure about that he was saying the turbo from the 9 was to go not sure about the rest. You should do one day I'm tempted. I think it's the closest you'd get to a gtr at a 3rd of the cost Would a 9 engine fit? Surely that would be the way to go. He must be gutted. Always wanted a Evo. May still scratch the itch one day.

Jetpilot Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I lost my sister 2.5 years ago and my car helped me through it, it gave me a distraction and my sister knew I loved working on it, so felt closer to her when I was, hope its the same for your mate Quote

I was saying to my pal how my dad would turn in his grave if he saw how much I'd spent on my car And my pal said I don't think he would if he could see how much pleasure it gives to you We will get him running again! we have to its our thing! We don't drink heavy smoke or do drugs this is our posion Edited October 26, 2015 by nissanman312 Quote

zxrob Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Give Chris a ring http://www.c1-r.co.uk/ They have a lot of evo experience, he used to work at ralliart and may know of an engine going Rob Quote
nissanman312 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 Yeah he uses Chris top fella He picked it up from him last week had his diff done and all new brake and fuel lines Then this Quote
