[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]sweet lookin ride... and welcome,

just wonderin if anyone else has had to replace the clutch on their V6's??? it was the first thing i had to do to mine when i got it last year (1995 Hatch 50,000 miles)... now the bloody CV joints have gone...i hate irish roads, they kill cars quick :angry:

has anyone else with a V6 ever noticed a really bad ticking sound coming from the engine, appears to be getting worse and sounds suspiciously, ominously like a cam problem :O ...perhaps i got the only dodgy V6 hatch ever made *:([/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]My mates dad helped me tow my car back to his place with his XR6 today, so it isnt sitting on the side of the road screaming "BREAK INTO ME!!" and "TAKE MY MAGS!!" lol
Also his friend is gonna do the clutch for me for $400nz including parts and labour!! So its not what you know, its who you know...

I'm also interested in the difference between a Type R/X/S lantis, does anyone know?[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#728FCE:post_uid0]Hey CHUKY. i had the same ticking noise once b4 too, it seemed to be related to not having much oil in the engine... i filled it up with some decent oil (i'm using Shell Ultra, anyone know anything better???) and it stoped and now is running sooo smooooth :D would anyone like to enlighten me as to why my engine goes though soo much oil? i find i'm filling it up once a month... there's no oil on my driveway... so i don't think there's a leak... i do like to change gears late (around 6000 RPM) that got anything to do with it???

the other brad...[/color:post_uid0]

chuky
18-01-2003, 10:20 AM
[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]i'll certainly give that a try... the guy i got to "clean" up the car had a mx-3 1.8 V6 in at the same time and commented that the owner had to replace the oil every 4,000 miles because it sounded very "Tappety" otherwise... so i was wondering about that too,,, i can only give it a try i guess ut the suggestion is appreciated none the less...

as for y does it use so much oil... try this some time... stand behind ur car and get somone to start it from cold... then get them to to rev to about 4,000 + rpm... hold a white sheet or something similar about a foot behind the exhaust.... black spatters on the sheet???... dont know if its carbon deposit or oil traces ut it could be that until the engine warms up that there is a little oil getting past the pistons and into the exhaust... just a theory and probably a bit dodgy... again, my engine block doesnt appear to be leaking...[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey MrPayner, I dont have anymore pics yet... My car is getting a new clutch (which seems to be taking AGES) and my digital camera is at my mates house... I'll take some fresh pics once I have my car and camera back.

Hey BigMal, I have looked all over the net for bodykits for Lantis's and Astina's in NZ, but there is nothing! The best i have been able to come up with is a completly custom kit for about $3000nz :(
There are quite a few second hand parts at most wreckers for my car because of all the imports over here, but there are very little performance aftermarket things for lantis's and astina's unfortunatly... I made my own cold air intake with 3" steel exhaust, rubber connectors a pod filter and engine paint. Seems to work really well![/color:post_uid0]

BigMal
21-01-2003, 02:19 AM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]Thanks,
I saw a thread on another forum of a Astina with a yoursports
front bumper for sale in NZ and I wouldn't mind one. Except I
don't want to pay $1000 to get it from japan. Was hoping
someone may be selling them there.

Thanks anyway

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]oil could be getting into your fuel perhaps? or leaking out of somewhere...[/color:post_uid0]

BigMal
21-01-2003, 03:56 AM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]Mate,
I would expect a bit of blow-by when the motor is cold.
The pistons expand when hot so the bores have clearances
to allow for this. Thats why the clearances with forgies are
greater than cast cause forgies expand more.
So at cold you would expect a "little" oil residue. Note that
the black tips are from fuel and not oil so don't mistake the
two.

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Actually Mal, I've had that pic on the PC for ages. Interesting though, I'd rather have the bumper you have now. But anyway

So LantisV6, how much lower is your car. About 2 inches??

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

BigMal
22-01-2003, 08:59 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]Adam,
Yeah I like my front too its just that I have had it like that
for years now and would like a change. One of the other
things I want to change is the position of the I/C so that
I can have aircon which would need a lot of butchering with
the present bar and lose a lot of its current appeal.
Also I want hole for CAI ducting so the yoursports bar should
allow me to do all of it easily.

[color=#000F22:post_uid0]My car was dropped 30mm all round. It sits really nicely and doesn't scrape on every single bump in the road, but i want it lowered another 20mm to look REALLY stealthy. When I'm 21 (in about 13 months) I am getting a nice inheritance which will go towards lowering my car more, tints, new paint job, bodykit and quite possibly turbo'n my V6 :D[/color:post_uid0]

mrpayner
22-01-2003, 11:08 PM
[color=#000000:post_uid0]Mal,

It's gotta suck having to forego the aircon to have the turbo. Daniels in the same position, as I'm sure Tony is too. Bugger. Best of luck in getting it all sorted.

LantisV6,

Only 30mm. Looks good. But I guess you're right another 20mm would be nice. In a few months I would like to attempt to get mine lowered again. First time = not a good job! So it's sitting factory standard [3 inch gaps] at the moment! When it gets lowered I'll be getting some 17 inch rims too.

Adam[/color:post_uid0]

BigMal
23-01-2003, 01:09 AM
[color=#000000:post_uid1]No Tony still has the aircon and his is actually a perfect
example to explain what I meant. Hard to believe that Tony
has the same front as I do except for the 2 extra posts.
The fronts look totally different and if I have to lose the big
mouth look of its current form, I may as well put on a new
bar cause thats what I like most.
Hasn't been that bad this year as not exactly a hot summer
bar the time I went Canberra which was bloody hot but other
years I have been cursing it.
