Anymore thoughts on the steering wheel refurb Scott? I know you was interested after seeing the flame red ph1 (Jonathan's?) one.
Yes mate it will get done.
It will be one of those jobs I can do in the summer months as I have a spare wheel that I can send away.
Don't see the point in getting it done now as it will only sit there doing nothing.
I have enough expense at the moment with coilovers and the head/cam work.

Makes sense mate. It's only expensive when you keep having these Mondays off
Worth it though

I may take you up on that offer Alex, once i get the head back from ALD.
I will text you on what its going to cost for a few hrs of your time mate.
Head will be off tomo matey, i hope to get it sent to you on Wednesday.
I did a bit more work on the car today but after a nice lay in bed i didn't get outside untill 2 ish.
Anyway i took the rad out along with the coolant hose's as they are going to be replace with black Samco one's.
I also removed all of the alloy bracket's so they can go off for powder coating in sliver.
Head is ready to be un-bolted in the morning, i'll take it to work with me on Tuesday to give it a clean in the de-greasing tank before its sent off to Andrew @ ALD for its porting work.
While its away the bits will go off for powder coating and of course the nuts and bolts will go off to be plated, ill also be giving Adam @ Renault a call to order the gasket's etc.
Got to give Demon Tweeks a call in the morning to order the exhaust heat wrap and Roland Alsop who will be supplying the Supertech valves and ARP rod bolts.

Andrew @ ALD will be doing the porting and matching it to my inlets i have sent him.
He will also be fitting the Supertech valves. Once i get it back then i will fit the head, fit the cams and do the cam timing (and put everything else back together)
Mr Woodford will be mapping it.

Scott did you call Demon Tweeks today? If not call John Harris direct as he deals with the discounts (10%) and is very helpful.

Also do you have any pics of the stickers you ordered for the upper grill? I was unsure on what to order today as my grill is missing both.

Yes Mark i ordered a few bits from them today, i don't know who i spoke to but i said i was on CS.
Don't know how much ive spent but i did get a few prices which where alot better than the prices on DT web site.
You will need to order a set from a 172/182 which fit on the left side then you will need a sticker set from a 197 just for the "engine fan will cut in warning"
Give Adam a pm, he knows all about it as he sorted them out for my car.

Thanks mate. I spoke to him today but tbh I wasn't sure what I needed! I sent a link to your thread page and he did mention about a 197 one. I shall PM him back.
Yesterday morning i got the head off, took it to work with me today to give it a quick clean before i packaged it up ready to be sent to ALD.
Cars looking proper sad for its self.
Bore looking fresh, which is good news.
After a little clean, ready to go for its porting.
So today i got a couple of bits from Demon Tweeks, but there's a 4 week wait for the Samco hoses ive ordered. (lucky that im no rush)
I ordered the Supertech valves and the ARP rod bolts from Roland Alsop, but they are still waiting on there order of 15 sets from the usa.
I should have them in 2 1/2 weeks which is fine as i have enough to be getting on with.
My bits from DT.
Ill get cracking on getting the 182 exhaust manifold wrapped over the weekend and get it fitted if the weather holds out.

Are the Magnecor leads recommended Scott? And what's the difference in coloured ones?
This is going to be EPIC when its all complete, more so than now.

Nice! My hoses took 6 weeks in the end bud. They make them to order I'm led to believe and the wait can be longer if they are a more 'unusual' colour
The DEI exhaust wrap i bought is titanium so no nasty fiberglass making me itch.
Ive been watching some youtube videos on how to do it so fingers crossed it will be fine, the misses will always help if i need an extra pair of hands.
Cheers mate, i have no idea if im honest.
In my thinking at the time was my leads are 14 years old so i wanted to replace them, yes i could have just bought Renault ones for half the price but i thought sod it.

Bloody hell, thats what happens when you pick a gay colour. :rasp:
I was told it would be 4 weeks as ive gone for black, although i like the grey ones very much.

I didn't use the fibreglass stuff either, its just the routing of it all.
Oh yeah i see, i yet to work that bit out.
I don't understand how you work out how much you are going to need for each pipe, otherwise you have got to run 50ft around and around.
I can see this job pissing me off.
How much does it cost to get that powder coated out of interest? Looking to get a few bits done in the near future

Not sure on this lot but id image about £150 - £200.
My rear beam, heat shields and upper gearbox mount came to £200
Thats blasted, zinc primer and then coated. (Some just blast and coat which will be cheaper)
Because the bit's are going sliver you have to get a few bits together to make it worth there while (black will be easy as it's always being done)
It's very cheap for Scott as he keeps the coaters in business
I wish mate and I pay in cash.
Ain't to pricey then! There's a blasting place beside my work which would make it cheaper too, your thread makes me want to powder coat stuff lol
