turbo Grant Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 I turned down the oem disc so it's a hub. And fits inside the fag discs. And machined a couple of mm off the caliper carriers. Re-drill caliper mounting bracket and you have a 256mm rear disc set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 you will have to measure disc height for use so we can play to :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clinternational Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 ohh my god!! what did you do!!!! No hole in the piston but hole in the valve abuse ? NOT GOOD! But anyway how does the piston rings looks like.... When i had retarted ignition ( premature ) not only the valve;s were bend but 2 piston rings cracked and 2 piston rings turned out blue duo to the heat + pistons ring land was busted. But they came out 0 zero pressure during compression test... on cil 1 and 2. Mayby check them if your unsure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share Posted April 21, 2015 just changed the head and got it back together again a day or so later. Reused the mls head gasket with wellseal. The valve might have just gone because of a carbon hot spot. The Pistons look pretty good still. Will re-ring soon as the bored look a bit glazed and it uses a bit of oil.

turbo Grant Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Got round to putting the mid spoiler on today. Always fun drill holes in a perfectly good boot. Needs another respray as the paint match is crap. Will do that when I paint the sides of the car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turbo Grant Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 So I finaly got round to sorting out the eml on this. Was coming on because of the ep82 wasn't getting a vss. The ep71 si clocks I fitted didn't have a vss. So I stipped old ep82 and my clock down to see what I could do. I'm happy to say the the ep82 vss fits In my clocks with only drilling 1 hole and wiring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
