S.K.s AE86 racecar

[delange]

shame it happened, car does look very good and you've done one hell of a good job with it RESPECT
hope you can fix everything soon and we'll see you in some more "crashfree" races :wink:

Auch... But you did have a spare door. Is it for the right side of the car? (can't see your pics anymore since imagebucket complains you exceeded bandwidth )

Sad pic:

Atleast it looked like you had great fun.

Yes I have spare door just for right side, I bought it because Kristian had remove the door handle. I was lucky that I didn´t have time to change it before.

I upload too many pics to the photobucket in one month, so it takes some time when I can upload more pics to there.

Engine is disassembled, need new block, pistons and conrods

[delange]

did you drove that long with the broken waterhose?
this is some very bad luck
maybe you can claim some warranty on the "new" broken pieces :wink:

[S.K.]

Yes I did.
There wasn´t any warning (no smoke, no steam), water temp was OK, also oil pressure. Suddenly car become slow, I press the clutchpedal down, lift up gaspedal and it just died (like you normally stop the engine). We also have a videotape from 600m before it stop, and it sound OK and there is no sign at any problem.
Later I check under the hood and notice that upper waterhose was broken, probably all water flew off one time and that is why it didn´t give a any sign.

DAMN!!! I am really sorry for you man!!!! Hope you will get it working again soon with low cost. This really sucks

New pistons leaves tomorrow from factory, so I will get them on next week.
I send conrods to Special Motors (finnish workshop, where I bought those), they check if I still can use them.
Cylinderhead is on another workshop, they clean and check it.

On weekend I will disassemble my last spare part AE92 GTi, where I will take a new block.

Today we straighten right door, it´s not so bad any more. Still need little work...

right side...

[retrodan]

thats so bad mate, to see all that work damaged so soon but hey u know the risks of racing and i have no doubt u will learn as we all do and have too!!

[S.K.]

You are absolutely right, there is always a risk when you race.

New engine is coming...

There it comes


Disassembled, washed and painted and extra oilpipe mounted (as red top blocks)


After I get new pistons, I will carry the block to driller (or what that is when you drill cylinderholes bigger...)
