Looks very similar to the one I have sitting in my dining room
So I think so.

 

ok, i visited pps automotive today in wokingham, who seems quite knowledgeable and advised me to pursue the honda extended warranty by mail (letter sent) then maybe legal letters to see where it gets me over the next couple of weeks. He is also sourcing me performance parts to recondition the engine. This should mean greater low down torque, durability and less weight. Parts come to about 3k, but he could fit a used engine for

 

Good on you, I am stripping my engine to find out what went wrong, then taking it up with Honda as they didn't want to know.

 

Manifold in the living room
Wheels in the loft
What's in the bedroom
And where are you going to put the OEM zorst when you get Carpers Amuse?

i am covered by extended warranty but the dealer says that the fault lies with me as it had and i quote 'it had clearly been run on low oil very recently' therefore warranty does not cover it.They said a warranty engineer could come out but that they would say the same so no point. I would also get charged honda labour rates to investigate further. After the event i did top up with oil to prevent further damage so it went into the dealer with a satisfactory level, i put in 1.5 litres.

 

So you were doing a track day with your oil level at least 0.5l below the minimum marker on the dipstick?

I don't blame them for not covering it

Hard luck mate

 

All still in the Dining Room.

Not sure where on earth I am going to put the zorst. Probably hidden somewhere with a tarp covering it

 

better let me have the Amuse as I have more storage space

 

Fieldl,

Whi don't you put some quartz clock movements in those wheel centres?

With some very heavy duty plasterboard fixings, it would work out cheaper than four Autoart clocks!

As for the engine failure - dipstick! I mean, they do recommend you use it.

Good luck sourcing a scrapper - I would & sod the matching numbers.
