My boss commutes in a C63 AMG 507 edition, 6.2L V8. Weekend car is a V8 Ultima Can Am. Guess he likes V8's! My daily (S60 D5) is pretty yawn, but in a good, comfy way :)

Wrong way around. Somewhere to escape from the feckers without having to leave home :)

The diagram doesnt split the bush out from the metal bracket that attaches to the car However it looks the same so for the cost of one it's got to be worth a purchase for a look-see :) I havent fitted mine up yet though so i'll feed back when mine are in. Link...

Strength and reduces cylinder vibrations and flex IIRC.

Would depend on whether it's 2 or 4 bar torsion beam. I'll check the part numbers for you, whats the oval plate of your valver?

I can only imagine how totally hideous it would be to drive in traffic, not to mention the law suits from the people it's just gassed with toxic fumes!

I investigated further, and what i think has happened is that water gets in between the axle mount and the bottom of the car where its rotted and doesnt dry out very well. Its eaten through from the outside to the inside. Where the axle is bolted tight against the bottom of the car where...

Cardboard template, cut it out and bent it, trimmed and welded in. Still struggling with neat welds, bit frustrated tbh I should be doing better than this. Back edge is a bit better Then on Sunday did the rear axle with some nice thick primer over the Bilt Hamber I had another 40...

On with the axle, back from blasting so I attached it with Bilt Hamber Hydrate, I like this stuff. Saw someone else using it on TurboRenault. Left to cook, 24 hours at gas mark 0.1 :D In the mean time I hacked out this bit of grot on the back chassis rail where the fuel pipes cross through

863hp at 44psi 996hp at 55psi :o M1 Methanol fuel, which runs at about a 4:1 ratio whereas Petrol would be 12:1. Technically Petrol has a higher energy density per unit consumed but you can burn three times more Meth per power stroke, so even though Meth is just over half the energy output of...

Yes mate, I have an R-Tech MIG180 and a P30C Plasma Cutter. I got them for a good discount (30% ish) on retail through some charity auctions that R-Tech donated them to, they really are good guys and the kit is fantastic. I have a 10% off code for the R-Tech web shop if you're happy to join a...

Turbo. No wait. Turbo's.

Hi, thats a pretty good rep, even down to the 5-stud wheels! I have a 197 cup and (real) Phase 1 V6. I was about to say it wont fit until I remembered that yours doesnt have an engine at the rear lol. You'd need to move the exhaust exits outwards, and graft the 197 diffuser to the bumper and...

....and just like that, a brand new old stock pattern tank has dropped in to my lap from one of my TurboRenault chums @Big_Steve_T - what a stroke of luck. And being the top banana that he is he's selling it me for the princely sum of several kilo's of Mini Eggs....which when you work at Cadbury...

I agree with all of the above :) I am looking around for a replacement, but it has to be cheap!

Can someone please measure a 1*2 rear shock for me? I would like the casing length mainly, but then the fully extended length top to bottom too if poss. Obviously this is to have a quick look to see if the shocks are cross compatible with this old bus. They "look" like they might work. Thanks...

I'm going to MIG weld it, then assuming I don't make a total pigs ear of it i'l likely go over the top of the weld with Tiger seal and then paint it. Where the weld line will be isn't visible even from under the car with tank mounted, so it just needs to be functional. I also found out yesterday...

While under there I noticed that the fuel tank was a bit scratty (these are metal not polymer) and that there was a small patch of rust on the rear OS chassis box section near the back tank mount, where the fuel pipes run through the chassis rail. It's thick metal and a small patch so should be...

So I have now kicked the crap out of the remaining bush material and got them out of the axle mounts. Took about an hour for both sides, after a careful think of how to approach, the inner ring I just chiselled out as they collapsed inward easily after being mostly rotted away. Then I used an...
