understood that. You're not right

this thread makes me LOL

it IS viable. You can get that kind of economy, it's been done on multiple cars. effiency plays an important part

Oh god, f**king t28 conversion....right sr20 manifold wont fit, s14/a elbow is no good to you. Core of the turbo needs rotating to line up the feeds and drain. s13 exhaust elbow needs 1 hole slotting to line up a bolt hole. Get a braided oil feed (hose solutions), Stock solid ones are well...

there's holes drilled in parts of the crank at the factory that are there to improve the balance of the rotating assembly

clutch fell apart, smashed 2 chunks out of the flywheel somehow. I think it was the pressure plate flapping to and fro, hitting the cover bolts.

Jay, engine was out to fix this ;) Callis, yeah yours was tip top. Crank pin was put in a balancing drilling when they timed it from what i can work out. (I align the cams first if possible, then see how far the crank is out)

yeah, well kind of. it's obscuring the marks you have to align. God knows how many they've cocked up :(. They claimed it "can't be wrong, we have the right tools". Makes no difference if you dont know how to use them.

I corrected one like that done by a "specialist". Owner was effectively told to f**k off when he called to say it was wrong. How NOT to fit a cambelt tensioner

the brackets from the slam panel to the top of the rad will pull it back a bit when you tighten them up. Can see in that pic you've not put the nuts on them yet

LOL, you piss taking b*****d. Hands up, really wasn't expecting it to bite that hard, took a little getting used to, I'm used to road setups . Brilliant fun though.

Lucky sod. That's a very nice car

saw a GT earlier. I'd stick one of those front ends on.

they're 172 wheels!!!!!!!

Fail Mk1 megane in the link

yes they fit, seen it done loads of times

they're not "megane wheels" they've just been on a megane. They're cup turinis

The point of building your own car is that you can do it how you want to, not how someone else thinks you should

if stock is 25 i'd be surprised if cup are less than 20

they're surprisingly heavy

only if something wears out. Seen 50k cars with crap compression, and 100k cars with it perfect

Best power i've seen on 172/182 has been at over 100k miles

I've "trimmed" a 172 breather box up before for the same reason. Bit of thought a hacksaw and a file, then some paint and it can be very tidy

dont see the point in trying. It wont solve the oil leak you have either way. There's still the same pin hole that needs blocking.

the 182 breather box is different. Doesn't fit the 172 rocker cover. It's So different I can't see why it was suggested

T25s are f**king GASH. Even an s14 T28 has a 1/3 wider bearing. I'll chat to you tomorrow about it if you want

sod that then LOL.

it's BBtuning

Ah right. Yeah mines limited, and it's lower than that, as i dont work on very high value stuff. Upgradeable for not a large amount though. Not worth bumping your cover to £30k?

check your trade policy, mine covers that (got it in front of me to check). I'm with MMA through Swinton
