going to be replacing my cambelt soon
StarletRick replied to boyracerj's topic in 4E-FTE Engine Discussions
its so easy mate. loosen the PAS and alternator, remove belts. unbolt the PAS pump and move it out the way. unbolt the crank pulley and remove it. take off the pulley covers. take the spring off the tensioner pulley, then undo the bolt on the pulley just enough so it moves about. take old belt off. line the timing marks up on the head and crank. put new belt on. do everything back up again! takes about an hour. -
it does surprise me where the wg ends up... they should just pop it over to the right under the rad hose.

if youre after track orientated road legal tyres. get R888s. ive actually got a gallon of 10w30 at home. i dont have an oil change planned soon. so you can take that if you want. you at japshow next weekend? and yes, alot of the big manufacturers have NGK make their plugs, but some also use denso, which ive had jip with in the past. im an NGK fanboy. -

how wrong? t1rs are good tyres. they hardly spin up on mine, and they are great in the wet. -

royal purple 5w30 is about 45 a gallon. its a bit more than others, but you can tell the difference immediatly, the car seems happier if that makes sense. put it this way, Cruise use RP in all of their cars... its in qrt bottles aswell, so you get one to leave in the car for topupz. and yeah, the sard plug is about 7 quid, and i highly recommend them. -
youre going to waste here mate with skills like that. lol.

i use the SARD mag filters. because they are the win and have magnets in. and we all know magnets are just awesome. use royal purple oil. and use the NGK irids grade 8. job done. -

i dont think he means them mate. on the actual caliper itself theres a coil spring that pulls the cable back.
