Wed, 14 September 2005 01:07 Well, there's a few things I've had to do on my ST162 - here's a shortlist, not including the fact that it now needs another engine rebuild Piston rings Big-end bearings New rear-main crank seal Recondition broken distributor (including aluminium welding) New dizzy cap (exy) New front right strut (broken top-mount) Four new tyres (all were below legal depth upon car purchase) New gaskets througout engine Fuel injectors removed and cleaned (now flowing 15% better) Valves re-seated New cam-shaft seals New north/south engine-mounts New front skirt New side and rear indicator lenses (effing expensive, but new ones look awesome) New cam-belt idle & tensioner pulleys (expensive) New cam timing belt Resealed power steering pump Reconditioned alternator (new bearings, brushes and machining) Eagle Ignition Leads NGK Platinum Plugs New power steering hoses (non genuine - silicon) Rebuilt power steering return line fitting Front CVs Clutch replaced (was worn to hell) Of course I've saved myself some amount of money over the 4 years I've had it because I've done most things myself, but I'd be fairly safe in saying that including all the stuff like servicing, rebuilding worn parts and repairing damage I've probably spent about $8000 on the car and only driven it about 30,000km Note there's probably about 1 grand worth of money spent on panel damage from incidents that shouldn't have occurred But also note that it's not running at the moment pending engine rebuild number two. You can buy it if you like for $800 - I don't really want to spend more money on it. [Report message to a moderator]
