Tbh the main thing I see gains from is actually setting the timing belt up properly. I've done around 150 in the last year, and about 5 had the timing belt done correctly.
I can certainly take a look, I'd do a leak down test too, just to save throwing money at a knackered engine by replacing belts and doing the rocker seal to find it doesn't solve it 100%.
That bit doesn't do the sealing anyway, there is a seal that stays on the box for that side.
I am with Fred though about the boot clip hitting the block.
Yes mate, had that as a cover picture for SJM on Facebook for a while! Awesome skills!
Everything's for sale at the right price ;)
I didn't :( my go-pro decided to throw up SD error.
Well I've had the opportunity to get this mapped now, 7600rpm rev limit, it pulls like a train tbh, like goes *really* well.
Current spec:
Suspension/wheels/tyres
H&R coilovers
New OEM Top mounts with revised spacer
Eibach camber bolts
OZ f1's with pilot sport 3's
SJM alignment...
So, did Bedford a few weeks ago. Trailered the car up there for 2 reasons. My back, and my hearing. Car performed faultlessly,'only issue being the lack of grip. It's now back up to standard compression, to do destructive testing to see how much a standard bottom end can take for my turbo...
I can, however as I'm not a massive dealer with them my discount is pretty pants tbh which means I'm far from the cheapest. I do a cam/remap package at £1549.99 fitted/mapped with new belt kits and dephaser. But it's certainly cheaper for yourself if you supply the cams. For someone like you...
I do a wossner piston package with rods at £850 delivered. I'd always advise a rebore, total price is about £300 after all the seals and oil jets replaced as part of the job. You don't have to do it, the price for the pistons isn't any extra.
As above really, I've been mapping Vikki's over the past few weeks, I do a datalog and adjust the map, then let her have it for the week and when it comes back the datalog has changed again, but each time it's by a lesser amount, last one was done last week and only needed a 2% fuelling change...
