My girlfriend phoned me at work while she was doin 70 on the A2, to tell me the car was makin a funny noise. After being told to pull over and get recoverd etc i found in my engine bay the big end from clyinder No5 and a LARGE piece of engine block......................................

But it still runs!!!!!!!!!!! amazin car

Just need a new engine now, anybody got any ideas???????????????

thanx for all the "ahem" sympathy....lol
im thinkin bout gettin a supra engine but dont know which one, or gettin a charger fitted to a 30k standard one?????
now seams like the perfect time 2 up grade!!!!!!!!

gonna get some pics on.

Sorry to hear the news mate. I had an engine blow, picked up a second hand one with under 30k mileage from Dewsbury auto salvage for £600. I would recommend viewing the engine first though to make sure it is all in good repair.

Or you could always whack in a supra engine!

Bloody hell!

Any pics?

So cruel Stav but funny all the same

Best of luck in your engine hunt fella

They sometimes pop up on ebay....

Other than your gf, I wonder what could have caused this? Im assuming its naturally aspirated to...?

Good luck on the repair!

this is 1 reason i wont let my girl drive my car, her fault or not i would hate her forever, lol
hope you get it sorted mate. supra sugestion sounds good.

Agree with rides go the supra option and get more bang for ya buck .

Blimey, sorry to hear that but well impressed that the engine was still running with a big hole in it!

Was it unmodified? How old is it and has it done a lot of miles?

P M S L, make her feel bad every time she looks at me lol

its just one thing i wont do. share a car. if she wants one she can buy one. if i kerb my wheel it my fault, if she kerbed a wheel on my car i would hate her forever lol.

must have been somet weak waitin to go and she just happened to be driving at the wrong time, hope you get it sorted

had a bit of extra oil in there didnt ya? if its the right car im thinking of... and a new coil pack on that cylinder

See what happens when ya let women drive!

Drop in an LS V8 mate, blatently!

Supra Supra Supra Supra do it

Watch It

I'd strategically place bits of the engine around the house - just to make sure she never forgets.
