how mcuh is the compression down?
Was offered one for £1300 tho its not running 100% lol compression test was run and its down in 1 cylinder so i have been told going to get the results of the test asap
this is the stuff he has got so far
Brand new turbo
head rebiult inc.new valves skimmed and pressure tested.
New petrol tank
plugs+leads
new injector
head set
timing belt
air flow metre!
Anyways you think i would get away with puttng one piston in??
I think the timing belt broke in the car... never been running from that day..
Your view.. should i just leave it or not?
how mcuh is the compression down?
mate buy it., fix it, then sell it on.
has he put the head back together again?
Maybe for a lower price
All depend on how much time you have to finish off the job but £1300 is not dirt cheap for a GT on a 97 plate as I got my car for £1500 delivered from exeter to Lancaster.
Only problem was failed MOT on rear arms
I personally don't think its that cheap if it needs that sort of work, TBH.
has no mot or tax as well..
Might be cheaper its been forsale awhile now.. price was £1800 to start.
i have 3 pistons laying here too
@greg still waiting on the results from the test.. Would i be right in saying if over 160 its ok?? I know it should be what 180?
@hf aye head was taken off and was took to a top firm in N.I.. was tested and all new bits fitted.. also skimmed i think..

dont think its advisable to replace one piston and it will probubly be the rings,they are not dear anyway for slightly oversized with rings.
£280 from fiat iirc then a rebore,plus taking it appart.and if it was being taken appart it would be worth or an idea to fully rebuild the bottom end.
hmmm if that was the case i think i will pass dont mind paying out 200/300 tops tho not going to start running to fiat for loads of bits..
Guy siad there was also all new rings got for the car.. I think from fiat
sounds good but it oculd potentially cost alot more on top of that, essentially drinking your profits...definitly consider it and post the results of the test up so we can offer some help...i would be looking at payin 'a bag o sand' tops
