Problem is storage space

Yeah, although you can always swap a manual transmission in.
I just see it as a absolute clean example of a 180. Low KM's, what more could you ask for?
Perfect canvas my friend.

hmm, I'll see if a friend is interested, he was getting Mk2s, so maybe he would want a spare pair

Alright.
At the moment im mostly interested in trades plus cash but I will just have to see.
Plus I found some cheap wheels but if im looking for 16s or 17s it really would be the best idea buying them.

Yeah I would be checking that car very carefully with a fine toothed comb, so to say

Too good to be true really

Yeah, exactly. No way would I jump into buying a car without checking it out.
Would probably be a good idea to check the VIN out as well. See the cars history in depth.

The VIN status check is the easy part, it is the mechanicals that need a close look

Remember a guy selling an S14 saying car runs rough due to a small engine bay fire, probably just damaged wiring that needs to be fixed.

Went to see it in person
It seems the oil dipstick popped out on the track and spat oil that caused the fire..
Hmm straight away thats suspicious, the crank case should not be pressurized...

Pull out the coilpacks to get the spark plugs out and the valleys are filled with oil...
Once i finally managed to get most of the oil out, took out the plugs to do a compression test on the motor.

1st cyl 150psi, 2nd cyl 140psi, 3rd cyl 140psi and 4th cyl 0psi and full of oil everywhere

Well theres ya problem number 4 had no compression so it was the one pressuring the crank case

Back from lunch. Another 4 hours in the library

Morning all. Hazelnut crack coffee getting my day rolling.

Why was there no compression? Gasket or something larger?

Good morning

Didn't know crack came in Hazelnut flavor...

[P78]

sup hoebags

[MommysLittleMonster]

Lol. Hazelnut coffee with vanilla creamer, and a giant spoonful of sugar to kick me in the ass.

I never used to drink coffee in the mornings, except maybe sparingly. I've had a mug every morning for the past week and a half though, so now it's like my crack habit. I'm a zombie without it.


Morning P

well my guess is the piston rings got fucked for whatever reason, not sure as soon as i saw that, said fuck that shit

Would've cost too much to get running again, but since I did buy a spare S14 S1 motor, so if another S14 with a blown motor comes around i'll jump on it
