Is the car driveable ?? wot sort of noise is it rumb/knocking/scraping etc.. does it only happen under load ? CA18 or SR20 ? :confused:

sorry bout that, its an s13 ca18. basically, when i start it up in the mornings, its got sticky lifters but then when i drive down the road and dip the clutch there is a bit of a rattle as the revs drop, but its very faint. i just want a bit of an oppinion as to what it could be. Sounds more like a tip ex pen being rattled, not much like the clips of big end noises ive herd. cheers

Sorry mate CA's i would'nt have a clue about ?? most of the rattles in the SR are explainable but the CA ?????

If the car is driveable take it to AP Motors in Plympton, they did the full engine rebuild on my SR20 and they are the best around this area.
