In truth until you split that block its guess work.... I've seen cars still running with a sump that's like brown milkshake. Every case is different, size, placement etc. Interested to see what's happened though. I recon there will likely be further damage than simply a blown gasket if I'm right though.

Don't forget it's been sat, it may have been gently filling the sump up.

Most likely a failed head gasket, water and oil jacket mixing. Was the coolant normal?

That will likely be a LHD master cylinder that's why bud. Be interesting to see how you've got round that though as its a fair saving. Car looks good.

That's just how they are. Only about 45% have passports, even less have ever left the U.S. So to them America is the world really, hence why they have events called "The World Series" for a game no one else plays :lol:

Jesus boy! They have got HOT. I get the outlet one but the accordion pipe is supposed to be cold side.

Yup, I've got a pair. Dug them out today. Il get them boxed up and sent out over the next few days mate if you wanna PM me your address.

You should be able to pull a 6 sec 0-60 in a healthy 2+2 turbo auto. If you can't either it's not healthy, has crap tyres or you can't drive. Book times for turbo models are about mid 5s. With a 2+0 targa tested as a flat 5 back in the day by a professional driver. Getting a zed to 60 quickly isn't about lack of power it's about getting it off the line without excessive wheel spin or bogging down.

As long as your honest mate, there's never an issue really. If you are honest as well then there's no come back.

I'm sure I've got a pair. Il post them out and let you know what the postage is, won't be much mate.

If your in no hurry bud, I'm fairly sure I've got a pair of stock upper camber arms. Front or rear? Pretty sure I've got both. You can have what you need, that way you can remove the bushes have them shot blasted and powder coated and get the new bushes in. Proper job...if you want of corse. Il have a look when I get 10 minutes tomorrow.

Sad day. However he had a really good run, by all accounts the way he treated his body in younger days it's lucky he lived as long as he did. Proper legend. Thankfully I had the chance to see them a few years back. An all time great. RIP

I removed mine, I cannot remember for the life of me how, I don't remember it being complex. I had the rear stripped bare though so maybe that made it easier.

At least it's not Burberry.

I've binned that insulation but, just left the hard cover in place as I had to keep taking the spare out etc when I wanted to bleed the system. Just seemed like an unnecessary faff.

That is the laziest hicas delete I've seen. Get the solenoid off the inner wing and use that banjo on the pump to create a nice tidy return from the rear section to the resivoir. Or as said find an NA pump and bracket. It would appear the pipe work for the hicas is still in place just a dead leg. Does make you wonder what else has been done. Top the fluid up first with dextron auto transmission fluid and check for leaks. A whiney pump is often one without enough fluid. Rebuild of the pump isn't hard.

10-11c here and drizzly.

The whole E Fan thing is pretty contentious. The vast, vast majority of kits available aren't up to the task. The stock viscous fan moves huge amounts of air, a rather expensive E Fan would be required. Success has been had, many using fans off big v8s etc. The fact that that kit doesn't even offer a CFM rating tells a story. Stick with the stock viscous and shroud mated to an aftermarket rad. Give the system a damn good flush. Clean the air con rad (not with a pressure washer) and that will do the job. You don't need a Nismo thermostat or anything silly. It's a good time to replace all the water hoses to. Doesn't cost the earth and will vastly improve reliability.

:thumbup: that's an awesome tip terry.

Yeah pop the bulb out mate. If you have the solenoid etc left, there's a banjo on there that creates a nice tidy hose tail off the pump back to the resi.

Nah, there easy. 14mm ratchet spanner. The clutch pedal is the fun bit.

Thread depth must be more than 1.6mm over the central 2/3rds iirc. So those look like they are probably legal. However wether I'd run them is a different question. Check the date on the side to. Looks like the previous owner liked lots of camber.

Yeah two of them now lol. Helped convert someone else's and dd my own. Not that bad tbh.

That's very cheap!

So they have, doesn't look like UK speedo does it, equally if it were it would be twin turbo due to the lack of UK NAs. I recon it's just an overlay accompanied with a speed corrector.
