The Raven Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 As most of you know my n.a has sat for around 5 months. My hatred of its engine ment that i refused to service it ( save the plugs) In 10k miles. Now its been out in the cold, wet, snow sub zero freezes ect. Well today i started getting her ready for an MOT. I thought atleast i would need to unstick some brakes. Jumped it and vroooooooooooom. The old girl started up ticked over and moved around the drive with no issues. As a reward im carrying out a service over the next few weeks.

Morpheus Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I did say jumped it and vrooooooooooooooom. Alas the battery was dead. Ah, so you did! I'm so used to reading mistakes that I automatically compensate when it's not necessary now. Force of habit old chap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Why do you hate its poor engine so much? Toyota reliabillity ftw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I've never serviced the engine on the NA since pulling it out of a scrap car over 2 years ago Same oil, filter, plugs, etc, poor car! Even after it was stood for 2 years, it started first time and hasn't missed a beat. It still got 212bhp on the dyno with cats, stock induction and stock exhaust. One day it might get a service! On the other hand if it does blow it'll give a nudge to get a GTE lump in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) I've never serviced the engine on the NA since pulling it out of a scrap car over 2 years ago Same oil, filter, plugs, etc, poor car!

On the other hand if it does blow it'll give a nudge to get a GTE lump in there LMAO yup more or less same story only mine made 210. I figure if it pops, GTE lump or a lower milage n/a lump. I hate it because its slow, and untunable, and was only supposed to be there for 2 months, its stayed for 2 years.........so i class it as a squatter. One i will evict sooner or later.
