Look closely at the back bumper!! its home made using patches,prolly old ice cream tub lids.The guys obviously very handy,heres his gauge pod,defi aint got nothing on this .

The beast resides in Whitehall which is on Eastons doorstep.So literally just up the road from where i work :yes:

Take a look at this gem ive found in Whitehall,Bristol.Funkis going to love this machine,To be honest who wouldnt.Obviously its work in progress and not reached its full splendour :lol:

Have you priced up new ones,You dont need the bells,just the outer disc.Youll need to measure the diameter.Those discs are not made specific to the car they are just sold by dimensions.You swap the new disc onto the old bells.Once youve got the dimensions google them.They are made by AP racing.

Yes mate,one you crack off the offending injector the noise will stop.It will need re furbing.Shouldnt cost more than £100 i should imagine.

If its diesel knock and NOT common rail,undo each fuel pipe in turn with it running till the knock stops,if it doesnt then it may be the pump or timing.If it starts good then it prolly isnt timing.It wont be because an injector is in wrong,they will only go in one way,if it was leaking past the injector it will make a chuffing sound as air is forced out.

The metal pipes didnt have corrosion when it was new bud.Best to do the same on any of the water pipes if they are pitted.Could prevent a disater.

Those water hoses in your picture,did you smear sealant around the inside before you fitted them? They can leak if you dont.

Have a good one matey :thumbup:

Im with the mah hoosive scotsman on this one :nuke:

Many thanks everyone!! Got work Friday but getting a few down in training for the weekend :clap:

Thought you had an early start? You ok now you know its not terminal?

:gunsmilie: Meets with massive amounts of notice!! They are the best ones.

Im interested date pending bud.

Seized u/j on steering column directly above steering rack.Quite rare but it can happen.Youll have to mark the u/j,s lower position on the rack or your wheel wont be straight after youve removed it.Leave it soaking in diesel then work it to free up the tight bearing.

Go on treat yourself.have a new one put in it :biggrin:

Talking of v8s.Went to look at a guys zed on saturday.One of his other cars was a Monkfish tuned v8 monaro.Jeez was it fast.the noise was pant wetting to say the least.V6,s are nice but v8,s are the dogs !! I WANT ONE :yes:

Those figures dont seem that bad really,if you have no issues then whats the problem,when you get below 100psi your in sh1t.I wouldnt raise the boost on it though.

My thoughts exactly, peeps will say "yeh mate go for it :sneaky2:" then piss themselves when it looks pants after and would NEVER adorn their cars with such hideous colours.

A good mate of mine worked at a Jaguar dealer and a guy tried to force a torque convertor onto a box by pulling it in with the bellhousing bolts :scared: It ended in disaster.The box was scrap after.

For you bud its simple,run 6mm id pipe straight to your tubs,anyone using stock tubs with the wastegate soleniods you should keep the restrictors that are fitted in the stock pipes or you will struggle to make decent boost.

The stock hoses feeding the wastegates have restrictors in like boost jets so if youve junked the originals your boost will be lower unless your running an ebc.

I would have stopped bud but the firm i work for would go nuts if i was spotted.I work at the Daf dealership over the rd from formula 1.You come to Bristol often?
