That's a really nice wheel.. if you're planning on using the personal horn push and it's a two wire one like mine was it will need some modification, it's really straightforward though, just need to remove the earth wire from the back of the horn push dismantle it, drill a small hole in the body...

Yeah it might, it's got to come out eventually though, in for a penny...

Have you had a mapp gas torch or induction heater on it too?

I went to move the Clio off the drive this afternoon to plug the daily driver in and noticed a little patch of oil under the NSR wheel, thought it was brake fluid at first but had a look under it and the damper was covered in oil, strange as they were bone dry last time I looked which was only a...

yeah you'll want to replace them while it's apart (they're only about £10 a set), and check/confirm end float on completion with a DTI and magnetic base

the horseshoe shaped things are the crankshaft thrust bearing, they set the crankshaft end float and take up axial load, the stuck rings definitely are a big contributor to your lack of compression. I still wouldn't put it back together with bores like that though

they come with the INA timing belt kit iirc

some of the prices people are willing to be bent over for to get a timing belt done are insane. Gates/INA timing belt kit with tensioners is <£80 on partsinmotion and are OEM quality OEM dephaser is £120 an INA water pump is £29, a gates one is £49 an aux belt is <£20 (I recently bought an...

Done a little bit to the car today as the landscapers weren't around needing access to the skip. It's done 1000 miles since the engine and box went in so I've dropped the gearbox oil and put some fresh millers crx oil back in it, took an age to fill it as the only clean hose I had was about 6mm...

Yeah I'm out, I don't want a car previous owned by Harry who describes it as 'proper naughty'. Guaranteed to have been vaped in and limiter bashed in maccies carpark.

That would look decent with the tints removed and silver wheels (and silver badges, bin the smoked lights etc...)

I have a set of them, they're pretty close, better than a shagged set of original ones

I'll reserve judgement until we see the dossier. If it's not on a little plastic stand I'm not interested. Seriously though, it'll probably do good money based on miles and colour alone, but needs an underside refresh if someone is going to hide it away in a collection. I think 8-10k is the...

That corrosion/pitting is quite bad, the biggest off the shelf forged piston you can get for an F4R is 84mm (stock is 82.7) so that only gives you about 0.6mm depth on the cylinder wall for that to clean up with an overbore. If you're committed to keeping that block you may end up having to fit...
