Sorry to say that as of yesterday, i am out of the FFUK Rally 2004.

My VTEC engine just let go big time and i'm without a car now until i can sort out a banger to ride in, whilst i source a new engine and save save save.

I would like to point out that it was my fault the engine blew, i wouldn't want to tarnish the name of a greatly reliable car, and indeed manufacturer.

If anyone knows of a small-engined car up for sale around £100-150, could they let me know, i need to get to and from work without using the dreaded public transport!

B) (still not sure I believe it wasn't the car that blew itself up). Good luck in finding something, and if you find yourself a cheap little Fiat you could come rejoin the rally ;)

Oh no, mate! Sorry to hear that. And also considering you were the main starter on the Rally.

So how did the engine blow? Was it at idling revs? :)

I wasn't thrashing it or anything, just a usual motorway trip, fast lane, no more than 100mph.

Major hole in radiator, possibly caused by a stone perhaps, loss of coolant, which lead to gasket blowing, and piston melting.

I class it as my fault, as i should have kept my eye on the temp guage. When it got too hot, i pulled over, but i feel i could have stopped alot earlier when it pushed over half way up the guage.

Shame really, ends the life of a very reliable engine.
