When I did mine it was CBT then straight in for direct access unrestricted!! but that was 7 years ago and a lot has changed now!

Ive been busy this weekend making a rear strut brace!! Now I have the sportif shed it makes it so much easier to make stuff with out having to do it all on the SR!! So here's what I came up with! It has the brackets too for the harness to mount to as well! Made the mounting plates first Then put the cross bar in Made the harness brackets Fixings to mount to the rear seat belt points too made out of old bush tubes lol Then the bars, these bolt to the cross brace to make it nice and easy to remove too! Then made the cross brace! I think I spent over an hour just drilling holes!! Just a few bits to tidy up on now then its off for powder coating!!

Mine cleaned just before Japfest

/\/\/\ offers???

These are the only ones I got! We spent more time queuing to get in than taking photos lol Kat spotted this Red kite getting a telling off from a Crow too!! it got more too after this one gave in lol

UP/\/\/\/\/\

Bump!!!

Hydrolic lifters?? the 4E engines use buckets and shims.

Good man!!!!!!! see you at the meat point mate!!!

thats what I was thinking lol make life easier!

whos meeting at woodall services then and what time??

Yes it will fit, the valve springs are different but thats it, there is extra water ways on the turbo head face but it dont need them, most gaskets are blocked for them anyway.

Cheers! It won't be getting done till I get round to getting the sportif on the road as we need 2 cars on the road all the time as the wife has changed jobs and won't walk the 27 mile each way lol, before it was only a mile so that was ok but not now lol, plus I don't want to be missing any of the shows!

Try your caps on the head and see if they line up first, you may get away with it, put the caps on with out the cams in and rub your finger round the hole and make sure there is no lips where the caps meet the head.

They are numbered but Im not sure about with sizes as I try not to mix them up, there is no markings on the head I have one here with no caps on I use for mocking up on.

Cheers lads!! all it will be getting now before Japfest is more cleaning!!

yes they are, they could work but you would need to build it up and check the oil clearances in the caps to the cam and make sure the holes all line up properly or you could end up with burnt or snapped cams!

Well bit more of a update!! After Will my tuner at RDT.tv sugested running 8 injectors instead of 4 BIG ones I thought why the hell not! so I talked to Dean at RW-developments some time ago about making me a inlet that also had and extra fuel rail in it so I could run 4 more injectors so after a bit of twoing and throwing this is what we ended up with!! mocked up on Deans car and the final out come!! I had a ride down to Deans yesterday to get the new boost pipe made up to go with it! And today I had the bonnet sorted out, this has needed doing for some time now but it looks spot on now! Wet sanded and then polished! Washed off and dried And the finished job!

👍😃

Its not the best idea mate as there line bored to each head and may not align up properly.

Its the outer cog that is fixed not the inner one. and this is how you do it

Cheers mate! yes im looking forward to it!! more so to pizza night at JAE tho thats the one for me!!

I got a set of Aerocatches from Murphy177 This week so got them fitted today! Taped up and marked out first job Then cut out the ends with hole saws, saves a lot of messing about! Then used the dremel to cut the rest ou Fitted catches! Chopped down and mounted the pins I remove the catch and the cable from the slam panel and then found I had a big hole in the cooling panel that was not needed any more so I made this out of stainless to go with the cooling panel. Fitted I also had to cut the loop off the bonnet too because it would not shut once I had fitted this lol!! I also gave the head lights a good polish as they where looking a bit foggy again look much better now tho! Thats it for today!

It's not a easy job tho lol.

You carnt do it with out the lights and bonnet.
