Either really, got one to get crack tested tomorrow so fingers crossed you got a spare one??

Cheers mate, Re-bore's done, rods and pistons fitted... just need to find a good crank and some shells. Let me know what you guys think

Chrissy cee has one on his red v...you could always make him an offer he couldn't refuse lol

That is one ugly mo fo! yuk!

Hi Mate, It might be shorting one of your plugs. Sorry i meant check your tmic pipes/hoses are correctly fitted and are tight

Sounds like you have a boost leak,check your hoses are on correctly and the jubilee clips are tight. Also take your spark plug leads out of the engine one by one and make sure they're not wet! If they are you have water down your plug holes, you'llneed to dry them, don't take the plugs out though or the water'llget in your engine! HTH

Search for blue anodised m6 washer lmao

Getting ready to go to the pub :-)

search ebay for m6 dome nut

Could be dude, make sure the actuator's not stuck open too

£45-£60 dude

I'm putting scat rods in mine dude, got them from the us for £250 delivered (new) and they were here in 4 days! They do require notching of the block (bores) and are a bit heavy too!

reg plate on the back is the long type (not the small square type) too

So, i bought a set of scat rods and wiseco 75mm pistons from ebay.com and had them sent over. The guy i got them from kindly marked them down in value to $350 insted of the actual price ($750) so the customs charges were'nt too bad £65.00 Block's going to the engineers on monday to be re-bored and notched for the rods if it requires it then let the fun begin!! ;) Bought a braided hose from ebay which looks pretty cool so i can plumb in the origional oil pressure switch and an after market sender/gauge (see above pic) Next is the AP racing clutch. Garioch had this clucth espe

Is it burning it or dripping from somewhere? Lol watch this space because if something doesn't start going right with this car then i'll break it lol I've bought the pistons and rods from the us (£500 delivered) but waiting for the customs charges to rape my ass lol I've got a good crank, block and head going spare if you want to have a go yourself bud??

yeah mate,i'll have to,i've built a few motors in the past. How's your v coming along??

I pulled the engine out and stripped it down ready for a rebore. Off for a pint as i think it's well deserved lol

Cheers dude, it's like a swift kick it the spuds, you know the one that knocks you sick lol. Right then, what to do? Bollocks to it... forge job it is! gonna speck to garioch and get the ap clutch from him and get the pistons and rods ordered. I STILL NEED TO WIN THE LOTTO THOUGH LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dunno what to do, if i go forged then i'll wanna run more power which means a stronger clutch and bigger tubby lol. If i was to forge this lump itwould probably be an idea to fit a better clutch while the engine's out, but which one?? there are a couple of clutches for sale on here but i can't afford pistons,rods and a £350-500 clutch lol Need to win the lotto haha.

After 2000 miles the shitty jperformance mani eventually shattered into 5 bits so i thought..ok i'll replace it with the origional so after 3 hours it was done,only to drive 2 mins down the road and it hic'd then misfired then did it again then came this horrific rattle and clouds of blue smoke. I stripped the head off it yesterday and something has got into cylinders 1 and 3 (unsure what) but the pistons are fucked, rings are shot as is the head. Needless to say i'm a tad gutted,just bought the blitz access ecu aswell. Not sure what to do with it, forge it and carry on or break it for spar

Check for leaks around the pipes, are you sure you're bleeding it properly? ate you keeping your foot to the floor on the clutch pedal when opening the bleed nipple? Sounds like there's air still in the system to me or it's loosing it's pressure from somewhere. Hope this hepls. Chris.

Just stamp on the brake pedal at 30mph and you'll soon find out matey

Yeah the rocker cover gasket should be fine mate, i've had mine off about 4 or 5 times in the last few months and it's sealed up fine. Just be carefull not to damage it.

That's shit hot quick!! can someone post up a link to the vid??
