I don't ride but f#ck me that looks the balls! Awesome machine! Is that electronic controlled front forks?

As above, as you might find a local member on here who would do it for you for a couple of beer tokens.

Cracking on nicely with this now then! Has he got a deadline he is working to or is it very much when its done its done?

Just seen this, so a bit late but that would have been me

Saw you parked up outside Tesco on Walsgrave road. James

If it's any use, T-mobile do a £10 a month unlimited 3g dongle

So how I'm seeing it is it could well be 2 separate issues: 1) Loss of spark or over fuelling on the one cylinder. Which could be a multitude of potential reasons causing it. 2) Loss of compression on a number of cylinders which could be: -Blowby on the piston rings which is going to be hard to...

Test carried out wet and dry?

Very hard to know why now its apart tbh. A leak down test would have almost certainly highlighted where the cylinders were loosing compression.

Gave a decent suggestion above for checking your valve seating, might show something maybe. Kris i'm offering him some potential advice, no need to be a jackass! Valve could have bent from valve bounce/ over rev as an example or timing slip.

Not really a "dropped" valve if it's still there, but never mind. To be fair, taking it apart has been done far to quickly, a leak down test could have been carried out to check/ identify the compression loss. With the head off, check the valves are seating ok. Put the head upside down and fill...

Hi, Welcome to the site. 18...X5! Lucky you!haha!

Well that is my attempt to break it down to try and find the fault

Working in the industry I would potentially disagree with that tbh, what area did he work in at Prodrive as there are many departments in which at least 80% are not involved with engine work directly. I would get it to one of the RS specialists such as Fred, 519 etc etc

There already a big sticky for this? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?224359-Suspension-Guide-Bolt-Spacing-amp-How-to-Measure

Looking great Dawn! Love the "ignore the dirty wheels" which are still clearer and shinier then 97% of the rest of the forums!haha

What an awesome project! Sounds great too!

Zip ties are used from the beginning because it also generally causes less damage when a bumper is caught. The bumper just "pops" off with zip ties but smashes and damages if bolted on.

Nice, impressive stuff but my god that dash needs sorting out!

Nice to hear! Hadn't thought of that method, will have to try that on some bits.

Nice write up. Out of interest was the mating face on the wheel which bolts to the hub cleaned off of powdercoat?

Great progress as normal guys. Great to see you ploughing on regardless of the setbacks! Look forward to seeing the update of the new engine firing up ok.

Great photo's! I went to New York about 6 weeks after 9/11 so saw it a bit differently. Can't wait to get back, absolutely loved it there!

arrrgghh, more to choose then!haha Cheers all

Someone needs to learnt to drive properly too!

Hi Si, Thanks for that. Yeah, I understand 2k would be much easier, the whole project has taken a long time and I have done EVERYTHING myself, custom fabrication, design and manufacture of bespoke parts, so spraying is going to be done by me as well. Just something I have always wanted to do...

You mean front sidelights? or we talking about the lights up in the headlining? If it is sidelights then does sound like sidelight control as the others come on with them. Just checking, no rear sidelights though?

That would match up with the 1.2 and 1.5daN.m then!

If I remember 0.8daN.m is 8Nm and 1.2daN.m is 12Nm, but don't quote me on that!

Here you go:
