No worries mate,thanks for the thumbs up.Those hicas ball joints were tighter than a ducks butt :scared:.

smoke at idle,misfire prolly caused by oil on spark plugs is probaly tub failure imho.Do a comp test to be sure though.

Match modelling is usually for jail birds,will make or cover anything with matches to pass the time away Lol.

Code 34 is a fault code,if the car detects detonation is does not register a code 34 it retards the timing and drops to a knock map if the ecu has one (some chips dont) which increases fuelling for engine protection.

His manager was fit as fook.Rip macho man,I was a teenager again reading that.I still remember watching Wrestlemania 1 on a betamax video,shit im getting old.

You click on the zatzy link on the pistonheads page?

Just found this epic swedish build thread with pictures,guys mated a viper with a Saab estate.What a sleeper.The workmanship is amazing. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=23654

That c*ck in the 350 drove like a cu*t,he lost it before camp at the chicane and understeered off the track when he finally got some steering he just drove back onto the track as if he was the only one driving,and almost hit Murt !! How the guy can say Rob drive like a k**b is a total pisstake.

With the low compression and oil in the pipes its not looking good Ian.Brace yerself,your gonna be in deep with that one.

Wish id never put the boost jets in for Wayne ,he binned it days after.Hit a puddle on a B rd and span .Car was real mess after.The pictures dont do it justice.

Great vid bud,its great to see a zed sideways :tt1:.You need to check the o2 sensor on that bank is working,id also be concerned that an injector may not be spraying correctly.

Had it 6 years now bud and where i get little time to drive it now im getting to the stage where i dont miss driving it anymore.

weekend car when i can be arsed to drive the thing,loosing its appeal by the day lately.

Yeh those poor tyres,you drove the ass off that car at Japfest,nifty driving mate i must say.Some great sideways action.You done much track driving,looks like you have,or did you get loads of practice in the states with powerful v8 motors :rockon:

Heres where i get mine http://www.enginepartsuk.net/

How true that is Al,did you see him when that journalist Louie ferrou spent a few days with him.it showed him for the **** he was.I have to admit he can come across like a decent guy but should have never been allowed into government.

As David said i do use ACL bearings,the grading is a load of *****x imho,the difference in the grades are microns ffs.I use duraglides when i can get them.Ive had trouble of late and had to use race ones which are quite a bit more expensive.

Yer spot on there mate,and generally it should turn the same way when jacked up.

Clean the terminal on the knock sensor,check it for continuity with a multimeter,if its ok then re use it.The bakealite is usually cracked on them.

I know someone who,d love his address,he really would love it.Chris took over four grand off him and sold him a second hand engine which was"rebuilt" so say,lasted 700 miles and span a main bearing.the guys even paid a heavy to track Chris down to no avail.

Or ride the old belts using a 27mm socket on the front pully,turn the engine over and pull the belt forward,it will ride off the crank pully.You can refit it the same way.It will need re tensioning though after.This is how the AA change belts so quick on the roadside.

A white zed on here(mad maxes) made 500hp easy on the stock reg so why do you think you need one bud?

will be utter *****x for sure,most maps run around 370hp tops with that spec,id be very surprised if it was 400hp.That figure is achievable with loads of advance but tuners dont tend to market those maps in case of engine damage.

After all the Mot will last longer than the taste :tongue_smilie:

I reckon it did fail but Dave obliged the tester orally to completion and got a ticket on it :scared:
