ET/Milano Hybrid : 'Milanos Demise'

photoglossy · Post by **photoglossy** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 1:44 pm

I really do wish i had a car i would keep stock. This car was meant to be it!

I put it down to a rushed job putting the engine in. It was pouring with rain, i had a cold, and i was soaking wet for almost 2 days straight. I no its no excuse, but ya know how it is when ya get pissed off... anything will do!

Its fixed now. Just needed to pull it all apart. I found another bolt i could put into the mount which seems to have lifted the rear of the engine up about 15mm.

Big ups to my m8 Matt for his efforts too! If it weren't for him I'd still be out there lying on my back getting even more annoyed!

I think its time to start driving the car with a bit more respect... Its always the way, if it runs well I take it for granted, but when it decides its had enough i get pissed off at it and just wanna sell it... poor thing

Darn... that's definitely bad luck with the rear engine mount. I've never had this drama with my E15S but that's because it is the E15S.

Don't sell the car dude! Shit happens but don't give up just because of that! You'll just end up with something that isn't as fun to drive (and easy to repair) as your N12!

NO! lol. 4wd high comp e15et. And yes, the wheels would end up going on the exa

with 4wd u wont need to lose so much weight.
you could keep it comfortable and still have a ball of fun

Going to sell the digital dash? I _may_ be interested to buy it... it'd be great together with the E15ET stuff...
