Crezzy's Mk2 Ibiza Cupra Sport GTi 16v THE END, CRANK gone

[crezz]

yeah im not too happy as i booked the week off work, pointless aye? lol

I would try and get some money knocked off it or something. You have been waiting ages to get the engine going again.

You would probably have been quicker and maybe cheaper doing a 1.8T conversion.

 

[crezz]

going to see what i can do, could of been quicker and cheaper maybe if there was anybody that could go and do it... roly and martain made it look easy but there is more then meets the eye.. they done a bloody good job...

problme being was that i know the history of this car now considering the rebuild, could do all teh 1.8t work to find its not as sweet as i would of liked... im just thinking to myself.. good things comes to those who wait

Crezz,

What paint did you use for the rocker cover and inlet mani?

Doing a little project to tidy my engine bay up and want to do a similar thing for my rocker cover.

 

[crezz]

just some flat black enamel paint

 

[crezz]

still no fecking news! tbh this really takes the buiscut, all of the hard bits have been done, its now down to just putting it back in and ive been let down yet again... i really havent had alot of luck with this whole project.

 

[roly]

Keep ya chin up mate

Mine's not right yet but i've just come back from work in it and it still bought a smile to my face, it'll be worth it in the end

Sorry to hear that Crezz, sometimes you just get a string of bad luck. Even my bike has been a pain for the past 5 months.

Engine kept flooding coz of restrictor kit - had to fix it
Rear wheel bearing went pop - had to fix it
New rear wheel bearing went pop - fix that as well
Got a puncture - had to get a new rear tyre
screwed up the rear shock - had to get a new one and change it
Chain and sprockets fooked - need to buy new ones before riding again

WHAT A PAIN!!!!!!!! but when it works, I wouldn't change it for the world

So chin up, it is almost there mate, soon you'll be able to enjoy your mint GTI with a pretty much new engine

Mig

 

[crezz]

thanks chaps... soon maybe

you already know the fix for that

Crezz - better done properly than rushed

won't help much i doubt but rather time taken than thrown in 'here ya go see ya'

 

[Czechboy]

you already know the fix for that

Yup, it's been fixed for the past 4 months

 

[crezz]

never a truer word say flapper... soon be back hopefully

 

[crezz]

bit of an update, the enigne is now in but thats as far as it is, they are mounting in all the other things such as power steering and that sort of thing tommorow.

also today my catch tank arrived and so did my samco hoses, dropped the hoses off to the garage today so they going to fit them for me.. hopefully i should have it back tomorrow night, i haven't munch optimisim due to the fact ive been let down by pretty much everything! lol.. pics to follow shortly

 

[CraigW]

Nearly there mate! It wont be long until you get it back and can fall in love with it all over again!! Especially when its fully run in!!

 

[crezz]

[SA Polo]

It will all be worth it in the end bud, Once she starts up again you will be smiling from ear to ear.

 

[dancupra]
