hi guys, apprently my fto overheated and seized.
now im after another engine for it, would the mivecs be a straight fit?, would there have to be any modifications at all?. My current is a GR non mivec 150,000kms and to me it kinda is dissapointing. but if im gonna need a new engine i might as well chuck a mivec in there..
any of you guys know where the best place to start looking is?, i cant find any fto halfcuts around brisbane.
thanks
My FTO crapped out on me after a month :(

Hi,
well, im not really sure why it happened, it was driving perfect i would of never ever saw it coming.
The closest explanation i could get was probably the hills i was climbing?
I was driving up and down really steep hills, they were almost vertical heh, and possibly drained my engine oil somehow?. cause when i checked the oil it was below halfway, iv only did an oil change a week before. i think its seized up only running on 2 cyl.
Iv thought about vr4s and evo engines but they seem to be way too much hassle.
i bought it privately,
thanks for the numbers guys,
now i gotta take out another loan cause theres no way im driving my hyundai excel around.
