Good video mate. Like I just said on Facebook I’ve only had my st about 2 weeks so hopefully I can join you on the journey as there might be things you ca show me that I don’t know. I’ve just recently changed the boost solenoid and what a faff that was. So can’t wait to see the next video 👍
I'd say from how it's running the cylinder liners are cracked, you can have these machined out and new liner put in but it's probably cheaper just to get a replacement engine.
Good luck with it, was curious why my 2007 ST-2 with xenon’s doesn’t have the Auto Lights position on the headlight switch like yours does!! Any ideas lol
Smoking exhaust could be a liner and not cheap to get sorted, new liners can be done but expensive . Or could be a head gasket, these are not cheap to run and maintain.
Just scrap it. 99% of st225s have been thrashed. Yes its a volvo engine but its got cheaper internals. They aint even quick. They sound nice though. 5 pot burble.
@@Gear_Up201Unfortunately it kind of is... The white smoke is really not a good sign and the car in general is extremely rough... Sure you can get it back to good condition, but it's going to require a ton of work...

Head gasket is more likely. Cracked liners is less of a issue than everyone makes it out to be.
Only upwards from here 😊

The only thing I can think of it that mine is an St-2 so not the top spec one
It will be all worth the effort in the end
Bit of hard work but your get there 😜
Good luck
Thank you 😊
Looking forward to seeing the progress you make pal 👍

I fully prepared to swap the engine if need be.
It would be the cheapest option, try to get one with the block mod done if you can, although impossible to prove from the outside 👍
When did u tern 78
I think I’ll like it once we get to race at Pod 😂
Your on haha

rough and basic a breaker in truth, as it stands not worth over 1k
Toast
