Title: Greetings from Broken Pug Land
Post by: Del Fuego on May 19, 2014, 07:58:53 PM
I could have sworn I already posted in here but perhaps I did no such thing... like a muppet.

Anywho, I got directed here by some of the friendly cross club members I know over at oldschool.co.nz

I have a '96 405Sti 2.0L which is currently broken due to unobtanium coolant housing... (wanted post to come haha)

Name's Vince

Howdy

Yeah I have been to alllll the pick a parts haha, removed the most awkward part on earth from about 5 different pugs but none were right... needs to be the alloy block 2L and most seem to be either the 1.9 or 1.6... troublesome machine :)

Pic... yes, please hold caller.

It turns out I haven't got a decent pic of it... i really should fix that some time soon/when it's fixed haha, in the meantime here are a couple of it doing some work, drove down to wellington to collect a trio of motorbikes. Wish it looked that low all the time... it doesn't haha :)

Ahhh, yes you do! that sounds positive, if the someone already has a template of offending bit that could make for much easier replacement for one not made of fudge!

Yeah he seems to have a fair amount of 306's coming and going from his house, some being fixed, some being wrecked.

Welcome Vince, 2l STI's are obviously too reliable if you can't find a wrecked one!

Glad you got it sorted. 405's are pretty cool, when they are up and running! I have a couple of wrecks that club forum frequenters can contact me for cheap bits and bobs before I junk them. Have a mint windscreen if someone can remove it! I'd hate to junk that!
