There must of been some other factor than power that finished it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope yours is coming together well, keep me updated mate.rhys86 - I have some better pics of the car that I'll try to upload tonight, the ones I have don't do the car justice.Adam - At this point we're unsure as to what has happened, all I know at this point is that Cylinder 4 has no compression, so the engine was removed on Friday and will be stripped over the next few days to assess the damage. Also yes the car was at nizpro for several months in 2005 being assembled and then again in 2008 being used for the development of the Nizpro 4" system.As soon as I know what happened to the engine I will post up in here, and I was really surprised that the motor has failed, but it does go to show that even built motors are not bulletproof.CheersJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
