I made the brackets and turned down a new piece of pipe for the outlet as the piece we cut off was too short , it turned out ok

I'm flying from Bristol to nice , and hiring a car , we are staying in an apartment in Monaco , going Thursday afternoon and flying back Sunday , the flights were only £50 ! We went to the col de Turini a few years ago when we went out to watch when it was part of the IRC , we went to watch the...

Not until its all done , but then I spend time fixing what I break lol Already happened on a 6th gear straight , I sh1t myself lol , so I wirelock the pad retaining bars in place now , the pads will never fall out again

Hi Mike I was in the same boat as you regarding the dash , doesn't give enough info at a glance , I got fed up of clicking through the pages to see what's doing what , then keep clicking to get back to the gear display , if you have seen on my project thread I went for the XAP X dash , shows...

No i'm doing a rally in Pembrey on the 10th , think it might be tempting fate if I do Llandow a few days before lol , I'm also doing the Wyendean rally in my Golf the day before so need to be in Chepstow on friday the 8th for scrutineering ect , will be struggling for time even to bring it down

I think mine got binned

I've spent silly money to date so £300 on a rad won't hurt lol I took out all the wiring and panels when the car was rebuilt , its already had a new loom , but I'm having a new engine loom made to suit the DTA ecu and X dash digital display , the rest of the wiring will stay as it is

I bought my rad from these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230726159046?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 It just seems a compromise , it would do the job I guess , but needs faffing about welding lugs on to fix it in place , and brackets for the fans , and then it could be a better...

I gave the car a good clean yesterday , got it up as high as the jack would go so I could get underneath and found a big clodge of mud around the bottom pulley , it would seem it picked it up going through the big puddle above , spoke to a mate of mine who said I made a big cut on that bend , as...

I think this is where I picked up the problem with the alternator belt , oops !

Yes I did notice someone lol , was a good day while it lasted

The alternator belt came off , looks like it picked up some mud going through one of the big puddles on beach road which damaged the belt , it was found snapped on the sump guard , so couldn't carry on , all that work of putting it back together with the standard engine for two bloody stages ...

Its all done ready to collect tomorrow , had a problem of it chucking oil out of the breather at high revs so Fred spoke to them and they dropped the oil down slightly from max on the dip stick which stopped it doing it , before that they had mapped it to 7k and it was making 242hp , they...

Got the gearbox back today so have started putting it back together with the standard engine so I can do the rally a week on sunday , needed a couple of gears and dog rings changing in the box as I used it when it wasn't changing gear properly so ended up with another bill ! should have taken it...

sounds like your trying to distance yourself away from him , something I should know :D Sorry got that wrong then , I guess its all his engines that are dynoed there , anyway he did a very good job dynoing my Golf engine , so I have no problems with him doing this engine. Did you get any...

Spoke to the dyno guy yesterday and I had to modify a flywheel to suit there dyno , the adaptors he has fit onto flywheels for AP competition clutches , so I have machined the standard flywheel and will send it up to them tomorrow , he's hoping to have it started before the weekend I had to...
