Just taken a clutch off of a 41k cup engine, looks new lol, LOADS of meat left on the friction plate

Cool well im not after a nice standard driving car, the cams in my car are pretty much on par with the 422's by the look of thing and it drove no problem at low rpm :) Regarding Andy GDI, good stuff i would ditch the VVT, and catcam pulleys sounds a good way of removing that chunky dephaser...

Yeah i spotted Chadils manifold for the F4R (looks spot on identical to the one i have now apart from slight port changes and inlet stud locations as youd expect). Looks of decent quality too. http://chadil.be/files/images/TAL-2230%20005.preview.jpg I dont mind non VVT, makes it a...

Explain why VEMS is garbage, ive Used the software myself, so has my mate who did a bit of road mapping with me, with no issues at all. It does exactly what i need and hasnt failed me yet.

Maybe, ive had a very strong opinion against F4R's in mk1 shells since day dot, but im thinking its worth a try

Hello, dont really post on here much but i lurk in the background :D This is a long thread as i like to explain stuff fully :D I want some genuine advice though as to what i should do. Heres a few things about me, im a mk1 lad through and through, had 3 valvers and a hybrid. They have all...

I was the passenger in the car, like the RB's 182's, i own an ITB'd mk1 myself ;)

F4 t*** nicking my quotes!

Cant be arsed with that, they arent nearby. Heres some pics that might help someone.. Ok have a look at these mate... Pictures of both female and male unions... Nut Diameter Inner thread diameter Outer thread diameter Inner bore diamter of sandwhich plate...

I just destroyed a union on my oil cooler, so need a new one... How do i know if i need 1/2", 5/8" or 3/4" fittings. I want to use my original sanwhich plate but new lines and cooler. What part do i need to measure? Is is internal diameter of the hose? or the threaded part of the...

Just a matter of time Matt, cliokiz's one went boom in no time lol!!

It does, it just seems to break through the weld.

Doesnt work either, ive seen quite a few failed welded circlips.

Im good mates with the bloke who runs and owns www.swcruise.co.uk I always rip him for having s**t cars ;)

Sorry to rake this back up aswell, but isnt that a Renault 19 cylinder head? the little bolt head (thats been used to blank off the CTS hole) suggests so. Not a full williams engine? fail ;)

Not really, but i intend to have a bit more once its all rebuilt. YOu dont buy ITB's for peak horsepower bud, its so much better on a lot of levels.

No he bought the car as an opportunity to use the cup car as a demo car to advertise his tuning business (put a monster engine in of his own) and slap stickers on it, the engine was never going to stay in it. Its a dam cool car to drive ;)

Cam timing was wrong, but after it was fixed the bottom end held good compression and leakage values (all cyls under 10% leakage)

Just to clear up some random comments ive just read. I bought Adrians old engine and ITB setup, its currently in pieces. The cam timing was quite a way out (but now fixed) and there are some quite nasty steps in inlet tract that i understand are quite determental to performance that will be...

yeah in bristol mate, Filton/Horfield area, work at Airbus.

Its not bad, pulls well :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uffGn4dxNR0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6STuIpr96E

Bristol, im ocasinally around the Essex area though (Saffron Walden), i was this weekend anyway. You'll usually find me bouncing off the limiter and taking corners far to fast ;)

Nope the car was hit at the front a few weeks back, the bumper has just been replaced through insurance, i have a brand spanking new grille siting here. Unfortunately one of the lugs is snapped on the headlight so i cant fit it till i get a new light.

Im doing an exchange deal through Stan (Craig @ APD), so if you want the engine you are best of speaking to him, it was RR'd @ 157bhp earlier in the year, but is crying for a remap.

The wheels used to be silver, and yes im tempted to go back to silver...

2.0L williams engine with piper cams and pulleys, nothing outrageous. Has williams widetrack too. But im hopefully getting a new engine this weekend (8000rpm screamer ;))

Well since ive had it, ive replaced 2 headgaskets, given it a new engine, replaced brake calipers, hoses, clutches, gearboxes e.t.c Its getting to where it should be ;), you can tell amir its being done properly this time!

The neighbour was a nutcase, she was shouting off her head and it had absolutely sweet FA to do with her! SHe also thought it was normal for garages to fix engines in no less than 5 months! and that anything fixed faster than that is amazing! (what a loser)
