The cam cover holds the cams in place mate, so it's not just a simple case of undoing all the bolts and lifting it off. It's a full cambelt and pulley job off too, and looking at your picture you're now going to need the cam cover resealing.
Welcome to the world of a £450 bill to sort it. You...
@Raceface_13 the cups never had the balance weight on them, so I wouldn't worry about it tbh. I imagine the balance weight is further down the shaft now, so it would foul on the chassis leg, or whatever else is in the vicinity.
Oh and nearly forgot! Spitfire flight next Saturday. Much much much excite for this.
I'll have pics and video from the day. And a very sore c**k from all the excitement wanking I'll have done no doubt. 😂
Couple of pics for the album. :cool:Shamelessly stole this pic from off here ^^^
^^^ I think that one shows off AG quite well considering it's an absolute wanker to show off the pearl in pretty much any photo!!
330mm bell and rotor setup are off the cards for the time being. I'm just going to...
I'm afraid not mate. There used to be a guy over in holland that had access to them, but I don't recall seeing him on here for ages.
Maybe @p@blo has some?
s**t happens mate I guess.
No not been back, but having a 8 month old kinda dictates that I can't atm anyway. I intend on going over there in the AG though. I also intend on doing a sub 8:30 in it.
The £2.5k bill wasn't all Nurburgring charges mate. I got charged €489 for the recovery off the circuit. They then took me to the office and charged me a further €130 for the safety car that parks behind you with its lights flashing. The rest of the money was recovery back to the uk (£1000) and...
All the mk3's had the swivel hubs mate. Couldn't tell you what hubs they used on the R3 though unfortunately! It's not something I've searched for either tbh.
Where the 200 lacks outright speed, it delivers massively in handling. And it'll deliver in braking as well once I'm done!
Oh it definitely sounded the part at full chat mate, no doubt about it.
Honestly, I'm really enjoying the 200 compared to the cup. It's actually nice to be in a civilised office so to speak. Fcs really highlighted to me that the correct decision was made moving on to the mk3.
He R3 maxis ran...
Yes mate, over 12 months now!
Yeah there's a few on the GoPro mate. Just gotta transfer them to the laptop and upload them. Was a cracking engine tbh, but I'm glad I moved on and into the 200 if you get me? This weekend proved to me just how much fun can be had from a relatively standard car...
Nah only if it's wet or someone's dropped oil/coolant and not informed anyone. I've had some dramas on coolant there tbh and it's not the nicest feeling!!
A lot of dramas are caused by the camber/surface changes tbh.
Yeah not the most ideal situation tbh! Lol! Character building apparently.
Yes you're right, he's either very talented or one step away from a monumental f**k up.
Lol! I was meaning getting the footage off the GoPro! 😂
Just over 12 months ago myself and @BIGASH went to the Nurburgring with a view to setting a sub 8:15 btg time. What started well, ended with disaster! For those of you that don't know, here's a run down of how that long weekend went.......
Loaded up the cup on James' trailer - 20 miles into...
Cheers mate. Haha! I'm still not 100% settled in with the car yet, but once I am there's definitely more speed to be found. It handles like maradonna! 😂
I'll get sorted for some replacements and give you a shout mate. :up: Won't be immediately though, but the car won't be doing much mileage on them either. I've only done just over 300 in it since I bought it! 😂
