Just bought this NA Coupe a couple of months ago, picked it up for $10 500 with 128 000 on the clock so not to shabby. It came with aftermarket Extractors, Cat and a Kakimoto Cat back, Nismo front toe arms, Bilstien lowered supension and a Cusco brake stopper. Have very big plans for this, finally getting a car i would like to keep (after writing off a prelude and selling an s13 for 8300 :P) and i intend to keep a bit of a diary on its progress :)

tad's cheap tbh.

assuming there is a bad history to the car, or because it's yellow

hahahaha thats what i thought to, is in very good nick for what i payed for it, so i would DEFINITELY assume cos its yellow, but ive decided to work with it, took me a while to warm up to it

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.

      My BMW 335i

      I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.

      Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
