just wondering if the ARP headbolts stretch after use??

**UPDATE** Picked up the block the other day from the machine shop, so as i got it back i painted it matt black... I checked out the piston rings aswell to check the gap, just want you guys to take a look at the pictures i took, and just confirm they look perfectly fine?? cheers

yeah £23 lol, skim can range from different people, i was quoted £120 from a different company and laughed at them its upto you wot you wanna do really, its more expensive getting it from TMD i recon, and not only that, its more fun and for filling doing it yourself.

il list the things I've bought so far ARP Crank bolts £57 Weisco 75mm pistons with SCAT rods £660 ACL bearing set £90 Athena head gasket 1.2 £110 engine block re-bore £99 Head skim £23 waterpump £15 various gaskets and oil seals about £100-£135 and there are still things that are needed yet aswell...

hybrid CT9 will give you a buzz on standard internals If you want to go bigger, do it right and get a forged bottom end..

when i do mine, im cutting my rear bumper up to fit a huge rear diffuser on it

is the rear oil crank seal the same as the 5EFE? I've compared it to the 4EFTE one and they look the same??? but the 4EFTE one fits snug, and the 5E is slightly loose, but very slightly?? cheers

im covered by Lloyds TSB who use the AA, and im also still covered by the RAC

im from shrewsbury, car will be ready in a couple months

May aswell throw abit of carbon fiber in here lol

i know its difficult getting these sort of figures, but the 5E is getting alot of head work done including cams,valves etc.. custom inlet mani, full race fuel system, standalone ECU etc etc etc... alot of work is needed to get to the aiming figure, but if you have nothing to aim for then whats the poin?? lol

in the 4e looking for around 300, but in the 5e looking at the 400 mark

yeah never mind mate, was far too loud for youto hear me anyway lol

Cheers guys.. Put it this way, im not building this car to sit around looking pretty....... :harhar:

click on your transactions, and theres a tab on there which lets you do bank transfers mate. Failing that, phone the number on the back of your card and theres an automated line which you can do it via that.

Cheers dude, hopefully with the idea i have for it, i will have everyones support for it aswell.

***Update*** I've not updated this for a while, so i thought i would keep you guys in the loop as to were i am with the Glanza at the moment... The block has been sent away to be bored out, honed and decked all round, so i should have that back next week/ following week, and then the re-build can take place. While I've been waiting for the engine, I've stripped things off the car like brackets and braces to get painted in a Bright colour (wont say until i have them back), i also got the paintbrush out and painted a few things to make them look alot more fresh...... I also decided to re-paint the under arches aswell just to give them that fresh and clean look... Before; After; Hopefully, if finances, and plans go well, this thing will be on the road in a couple months... with a nice surprise that hasnt been done with a starlet before....

im not sure if the K24 flange will fit the CT9, I've neer had one, but i would change the manifold aswell to a CT9

standard CT9 is probs the best option if your selling up mate

anyones from here??? also spotted paul in the SR, AKA CheshireGlanza, did shout him but due to the immense screamer pipes from the impreza's he wouldnt of heard me lol

standard dumpvalve. Get yourself an oil catch can with two clear pipes from the rocker cover to the catch can, that way you can see how much oil your pushing out.

have you got anything on yours at all?? like a breather filter or a pipe on it to the dumpvalve?

also, when my piston rings went, it was also the piston aswell, luckily for me it didnt explode inside the block

which one do you mean mate? ontop of the rocker cover on the left?

aslong as you havent gone over the dipstick reccomendation mark then you should be fine
