HI, I use fully synthetic Mobil 1 15/50 Motorsport stuff, its the dogs IMHO. Will always sound tappy when it cold and before the pressure reaches the tappets, should quieten down after a few secs then get quieter still when shes warmed up. Phase 2 light clusters will fit, but as you have...

Joe, Whats your e-mail, would like to speak to you, re the 6-speed box. Cheers, Simon

I didnt think Quafie did one for the 16v/Williams. Cheers, Simon

I think Demon Tweeks sell that film stuff. Cheers, Simon

So Nick, if you used uprated valve springs, or double springs you could raise the rev. limit on the 2ltr engine, asuming its all dynamically balanced? If I was gonna build a 1.8ltr lump able to rev. to 10,000rpm wot size TBs would I need? 45mm or bigger? Cheers, Simon

CoolSport, Not exactly sure, I think its the box from the 172 Turbo, got an extra gear between 4th and 5th. Lofty, Cant argue that its easyer the rebuild an F7P as 2ltrs, but itll cost more, if you do you gonna use standard pistons, rods, etc or get forged items? Cheers, Simon

My mates got one, in a straight line they will just about beat you, down the twisties its all down to whos the better driver, ie I cant loose him and he cant loose me and neither of us can pass each other. Hes also got a Mini City with a 1275cc Maestro engine in it, and thats harder to keep up...

Isnt the hole in the cap there for a reason? ie blocking it up may cause damage. Cheers, Simon

Sounds like a plan CoolSport, no I aint sourced a bottom end yet, Im gonna be doing the same thing, source the bottom end, replace all wearing parts, get a spare 16v, 32mm inlets, etc, etc, put it all together and swap it for the lump in my car. Gonna by using the 6-speed box Slartys got too if...

Hi, I live in Farlington, yeah everyone, well the townie boy racer Nova/Corsa/XR3/XR2/RST/Calibra crews do. There is sod all compotition bar a few 2ltr Novas, a couple of cossies, tunned RSTs and Calibra 4*4s. Loads and loads of clapped out old Novas, XR2s and XR3s, hardly any of em ever...

Would be very cool to have that lump, but I wanna keep the under bonnet area looking as standard as possible, ie only have NOS, Induction kit, strut brace and Supersprint SS manifold showing, less hasle from insurence company then. So I could use the 6-speed box with the stander 16v...

Oh yeah, now I remember, still a Skyline is no slouch. Cheers, Simon

WOW, thats just what I was hoping for. How long will you be able to get hold of them? Any info on ratios? LSD? What sort of power/torque would the clutch be able to take? Cheers, Simon

Other than a Willy box are there any other options for upgrading thebox in the vlaver for sensible money? Does anyone make a 6-speed box? Sequential? Do Qauife make a box for the Clio? Anyone make an LSD for the Valver/Willy gearboxes? Cheers, Simon

I remember on one of Clarksons videos he was burning round in a Ferreri, think it was a 355, or maybe he was in a 911, anyhow it was damn fast, he pulls up gets out, and says "And now Im going to show you the difference between a really really fast car........and the McLaren F1" gets in the F1...

Tell me about it Ben, Im in Pompey and every Friday/Saturday the place is swamped by the bl**dy things. I really really F**CKING HATE NOVAS!!!!! Get loads of standard 1.3 and 1.4 SR/SRis wanting to race, waste em all, even when Im carrying 3 mates. GTEs bit harder when your wieghed down...

When you talk about degrees what are you refering to? degrees turn on the crakshaft? If so wheres zero? Cheers, Simon

I was gonna ask the same, surely if it was all dynamically balalnced and the rods shot peened it would be ok for for 7000, possibly 7500???? Cheers, Simon

I think it would be cheaper to find a 2ltr Megan bottom end than to change the crankshaft/pistons in you current lump, the 2ltr bottom end and the F7P head fit striaght together, they use the same gasket face. A fully worked F7P head/manifolds, 32mm inlet valves, Piper 270 cams for a Willy...

Im hoping to due the 2ltr swap on my car this winter, if I can get it done without to much hassle Id be more than happy to do it for others. Cheers, Simon

Only seems to do it when it either idling or at low rpm, soon as you rev it it shuts up. Are the bearings hard to replace? Cheers, Simon

Sounds good, if their work on the F7P lump is as good as it is on the GT Turbo lump you should be well happy.

I had my valvers cambelt changed about 7,500 miles ago, the water pump and alternator belt where both changed too. Been running fine for the last 7,500 miles but now when I start her up from cold I get this horrible squeeling noise coming from the cambelt cover, when I rev her it stops. Doesnt...
