also considering the damage caused to that piston, how badly was the bore affected? will the 0.5mm over bore be enough to take up the damage and leave a clean bore? you going to hav etthe water passage cleaned up? to allow the water to get to 5/6 better?

ouch! lesson learned hey. at least you can take the knowledge you aquire from this epposide, and we as a club that havent seen this happen before (like myself) can learn the importance of a proper afr. what front mount you using again mark? i swear and someone will correct me but someone here was looking at alot of the front mounts and many of the non big brand ones ie not greddy etc were only as good as stock and one was worse! so it would also be intersting to know what the cahrge temp was. obviously fueling has been the killer here, but it would be good to elminate some other factors while your at it.

do i get some rep :P lol

i did point this out afew weeks back that the prices were on the up slightly and number for slae esp lower quality ones were reducing. i think we are seeing the "bargin"(basket case) zeds being scrapped off now. i wont be selling mine anytime soon if i can help it though.

yes a silver 92 is very normal. the colours i can think of off the top of my head are black bottle green purple red burgandy pearl white pearl yellow midnight blue turquoise blue think tahts it. dont think they ever did a plain yellow or and pale blues greens etc

so your looking at around 2k there, builds up quick hey.

ahhhhh ok thats good. any ideas on the cutting in point?

anyone care to clear up with me what happens when you do a brake upgrade regaurding the abs? how can it be connected upto the new calipers? and would the increase in breaking need adjustment to allow them to be used to full effect without the abs cutting in at the wrong point?

not to mention the old bids that dont fix the rot on thier morris because its not an mot failure, because they no longer need one!

reminds me of a very funky simon

sadly if you walk around carparks these days most new cars fords etc have really bad orange peel. :(

Its 40 a year for christ sake. they should start the tax exemption rolling again

Real shame bud, we are over due a meet in this part ofthe country.

ah haha well spotted that man!

maybe of some use to you. http://www.hybridz.org/ i believe you will find bantumbunny has done this very thing and may well be worth talking to.

the scarey thing is from the picture steh paint job looks pretty good.

i wrote myself a list in the end and stuck it inside my wardrobe, then crossed stuff off as i went, bloody list is still there lol. but it has got alot smaller.

lol yeah i went through that stage, it ended up on a low loader about 5 times nearly every time i took it out it wouldnt come back under its own steam lol. youve driven it to germany and back mate dont forget and it didnt shit the bed during that, so that does tend to say at least the block is healthy. just niggly little ******* things that happen.

alright rob, think its gonna be 15mm ish? best to just slide out the bolt and pop down to your local fixing place. you can actually reach round the alt and get a spanner on it to hold it in place while you do it up with a ratchet from the front. once youve got a few turns on the spanner will jam in place until your done and can pop it off. if you want a hand im about on saturday?

thats their problem lol, just close it next time or tint the window lol.

don't be embarrassed its a car not a ****ing roller disco!

i agree pictures.

seriously? i think youve just gotta find the desire to do it dave suck it up and get out their and enjoy it again. itshard to keep focused on a project when you loose sight of why you were doing it to start with.

where did you get them from bud as i need to do my passenger side.

mine did that a while back at the petrol station. fortunatly i popped the bonnet and noticed tighted it up and all was well. that really does suck though. hopefully tou can polish the ding out
