Pics? Reasons? Hope you'll drive sooner on it

[datdrift]

so have you cooked the engine/done the head gasket or did you stop it in time and just need to put a new rad in??

[Oscar]

well i was driving it hard... no mayo in the oil and it seems to be fine now apart from a very slow leak, gonna put some BARS radiator sealer in it tommoorw to try and keep it on the road till after xmas wen i can afford a new rad, well i filled it up and managed to put a couple of egg whites in it and drove it home, 13miles! at 30mph and kept it around 2000rpm didnt get hot once... nice normal temp all the way, checked it this moring and no water in the rad so its leeking, from the bottom but cant find were....
might just sell it and buy an s14a .... im getting fed up with problem after problem, i love the car but i dont think it like me lol

no mate thats big tim off of here, i can't compare that with my old beastie mate, my blue mk1 is being stripped for spares, to fund my fj20turbo conversion on my mk2, the one that i have now was bought from alfreton, its a white auto mk2, big tim lives 2 streets down from the old house pub.
