    Yeah does look sweet. Smoothed boot isn't done a lot on these. Looks different and cooooool!

    Yeah I'm sure that will sort it. As its usually the culprit. I was just thinking for ease. and obviously all the other components are new in a new dizzy. Im shocked the prices for dizzys. I paid 70 brand new from eBay. Assumed it would be crap and break. But keep me going for a while. 2 yrs + still going strong.

    Beat em too it mate! Was a bit awkward. Do people normally wet it? I didn't bother and was awkward but looks tidy so I'm happy with it. Need to continue Collecting bits now. Cars off the road now in garage.

    No experience with the other branded parts you mention. Would it not be easier to replace the dizzy. It doesn't have to be a td86u. I have td44 just cut and soldered the old plug on. Simple. As for ignition timing ten minute job for a mechanic. Cost ya a tenner maybe.

    s**t the bed Dave. Your going to town. What a car and keeps getting better. Hope we will meet again at another meet one day because i seriously want to see this car for real.

    Yeah the turbo is heavy. And all the down pipes I find have no brackets. So all the weight would be on the welds
  10. KiNK43
    Bit of wrapping going on. Can just about see had some thick stainless welded to manifold to take strain. the standard support had broken as a bit wimpy.

    Love the car. Looks great.do t want to worry you but a leak like that was the death of my mb6 it was top of windscreen leaking. I ignored it and the water was running into footwell. Rotted through floor right into inner arch and the inner sill was gone too. I wish id called autoglass and had screen replaced insted of ignoring it.
  12. KiNK43
    Its an orange plug if that helps. Can't remember off top of head if its in the arch or passes through into engine bay
  13. KiNK43
    Yes mate it often leaks. Its so hard to trace a leak in that area. First I changed vtec sol gasket. Then blox cam seal. Still a leak by this point. In my case turned out to be the dizzy leaking, finally sorted. I know knight has the same annoying leak in that area.
  14. KiNK43
    Personally I find these engines quite sluggish and hesitant until there upto temp. So that combined with the lack of vtec could explain your problem. putting your foot to the floor in a high gear from low revs is a good way to see if clutch slips. Cam plug is easy to change dude but yes you will need a torque wrench that starts low. You don't have to touch timing or the cam itself, just take the plate off that sits across the cam caps. 10 12mm bolts maybe. Then remove the 2 10mm bolts either side of cam seal, pop that end cap off. Change seal. Bit of gasket sealant on The external part of the cap. put it all back in reverse torqueing correctly and workin from center out.

    Disgusting mate. Someone put a boot in the rear quarter of my mate's fabia. Well p**sed. But pushed it out best he could then we cut a sticker that says "thanks d**khead" and slapped that around the dent

    Nice one Paul. They look great. 2 years on mine still shiny, no rust. Good call on The grooves, I got dimples too and they make a annoying noise while braking
  17. KiNK43
    If there tuned well. Standard internals will take quite a pasting. Depends what your power goal is. Upto 300hp is generally considered quite safe if tuned well. I was talking to nail who works with rich. He was telling me having standard rods shot peened will increase strength drastically and keep cost down.
  18. KiNK43
    Dipped? Different Dave. Like it a lot
  19. KiNK43
    Set the piston manually before putting the pads in by turning it anticlockwise. Try and get about 1mm gap. Then adjust the handbrake cable to suit.

    Ok so just standard s**te Vauxhall. Yes agree with simpo. A flush with fresh fluid would be a good start.
  21. KiNK43
    I had an old Vauxhall was mixing slightly was getting mayo on the oil filler. Tbh I drove that car for years with no other symptoms. So maybe just keep an eye on it

    MC2 Wheel bearing

    KiNK43 replied to carl747's topic in Chassis

    There the same. Wheel bearing prices are stupid. 40 quid for my eu8. 80 quid for my mb/eg. Seriously in my hand they are identical. Apart from pcd.
