-turf, red 318is in galway

[-turf]

alright, first post on here.. bought this car of warren a while back.. sound lad and car's in really good shape. got a stock exhaust put on tho cause the other thing was a bit loud.

video of a walk round the car

don't know if it's a good or bad thing that a lad in that thread thinks alot of the engine was rebuilt? think the receipt book has a new timing chain in 07 so i guess that's when it would have been done..


anyways, that's the car.. if you're about galway, ya'll see it spinnin about

Nice looking car -turf. Good luck with it.

Is there much chain rattle out of it? Mine's starting to worry me a bit, so I think I'll have to get the chain and guides done. I replaced the tensioner which helped for a while, but its starting to sound a bit nasty now.

Nice looking IS. Welcome along.

I'd be changing it pretty soon as you could end up doing a serious amount of damage if the chain and guides start to fall apart which can result on putting a new tensioner into a car with chain and sprockets in bad shape.


Nice car turf.

Might be an idea getting onto Feens or Greenblood on here about getting it detailed
