Should have my car back from painting in the next fortnight bud so I will be down with her for a gander! John

Been looking for that but haven't came across a set. John

Also on the look out for rails for my Evo 8's. If you get something sussed out bud would you mind letting me know? Cheers John

Get a bit of keystone and make it to size dude John

I think you also get the option to select a serial port, maybe worth checking that to make sure it's reading it. John

Aye aye I know that. I'm just throwing out suggestions to what the noise could be from. John

Still scat rods being used which if I'm correct the block needs notching for them. John

You are in turriff aren't you mate? John

Ha I started typing the exact same thing earlier but deleted because I thought I imagined it. John

Slider pins just need an emery, cleaned and well greased. John

Struggle to find one at the minute. Myself and a few others have been looking for a while. The website I found them new on were out of stock. I've just resorted to using it in km/h. John

Couldn't comment as I've never used a toyota one. All the bits that was in my kit worked as they should. John

Think its personal preference more than anything. My daily and my other car is between 6-10k and my Starlet will probably be about the 4-6k mark depending how long it takes. John

EBay get both rear caliper rebuild kits for £29. Rebuilt my rear calipers with them, worked a treat. John

I will do mate. Be a month or two down the line yet. Going for paint in a fortnight. John

I have the same mate, and from what I found on here quite a few people running the same pistons and rods complain of the same noise. I checked heaps of things, Inc valve clearances etc and they all seemed fine so I've basically put it down to being this combination of pistons and rods. Same as yourself, I've ran mine in and given it a fair bit of stick and she still runs perfectly so I will wait and see the view the mapper has on it when I go down with it. John

Can always try chappin on a slightly smaller socket as well. John

Wiseco pistons and scat rods by chance? John

Sounds probable aye. John

Shows if there is oil in there. Determines if your turbo seals have given up. John

EBay, measure up both ends and you will find it. ASH is where I get my silicone joiners etc John

Not worth the hassle in my eyes but you would make some money after you recouped your £70. John

Welcome to UKSO mate, glad you have sorted it. I was £2100 to insure my GT at 19, it's rough but it has to be done right. Sorry to hear about your missus, hope you and her are alright. John

Mate you are being given sound advice, it's not really a matter to chill about, it's irresponsible. But you go ahead and risk it, be my guest 👍 John

Vw caddy forum is good, quiet but a lot if lads with a wealth of knowledge. Had a few Caddy's myself and have an sdi sitting just now that I don't know what to do with. John
