What coils do you have on the car ?

Drain the oil into a clean container then just use it to refill the car. The sump plug is the lowest point of the sump, make sure it is not coming from somewhere higher up, and just dripping from that point.

Why ? If someone wants to Clone your plate they don't need a picture of the car.

Happy to help Bud

Edited cause I can't be a***d getting into this. And again because I've just read SkidMarks recent posts. Nothing to contribute but smart asred remarks.

It's usually starting to look alright just as I'm finishing Not daft enough to post pics of the gash bits

Been at the fettling again. Shame to butcher the Lateral headers and up pipe, but necessary. Cut of the Lamda boss on the collector and started fettling with the die grinder to fit a 1 3/4" stub pipe to fit the Tial MVS Wastegate. This means that once target boost has ben achieved the Wastegate gasses don't need to go up the up pipe meaning a smaller one can be used to aid spool, rather than most conventional installations where the up pipe would have to carry both. The Lateral uppipe is deceiving in that the bore initially appears HUGE at 63mm, however there's a clever secret inside in that there is a venturi in there throttling the internal diameter down to speed the gasses up as they enter the turbo. After tacking the tube and Wastegate flange on I bolted a spare up pipe on and the wastegate as well to stop any distortion of either flange during welding. Learned this the hard way last weekend when making the up-pipe with KennyS and the heat bent a 12mm thick stainless flange like a Banana. Had to start again with another Flange bolted to a GT35 exhaust housing this time to keep straight and soke the heat away into the housing. Next had to sit and fettle the inside to grind where the tube protruded inside the collector to smooth it back flush.

Thanks in advance for a picture of what you are refering to

Back struts probably are'nt handed. Perhaps a couple of you can get together and complete a set. ---john---

There you go, and I've been so thourgh, your accountants name's also there

There is already a Dog box in the car Robbie, I'm hoping to use a microswitch on the selector position Cam (I'll take a pic later) and use the Syvecs (Solaris) ECU to control the flat shift strategy, this way I should be able to clutchless shiftboth up and down the box, and properly flatshift on the way up.

Yes John, picked it up from from Perth so local too. Chap had it fitted in his GDB rally car. He was kind enough to show me some in-car of in use on the Galloway Hills. I'm hoping it's Darley Proof

^^^^ Photo's to follow Another wee development with the car that should (hopefully) be on and fettled in the next couple of weeks. Rare find on a certain well known Auction site recently.

To have Fun

Finally started work on the car for this year. Bit late as usual, but we'll get there Spent a night, removing most of the Time Attack related Stickers, what a 'mare of a job ! (Note to self, don't let Craig withing 12feet of a car when he has a box full of Stickers) Also removed the old rotated Garrett setup, originally built by Andy.F 8 years ago it has seen service on Andy's original white RA, then John Banks car, then my red car and finally this one. I originally slagged Andy about the welding, but in fairness, 8 years is a fair innings However, it's really tired and brittle now. So have some nice new Lateral Performance Headers and 3 bolt up pipe to build a replacement from. The old and the new

No he doesn't, he's a lazy fecker, cold indeed For a fellow Kirky Boy, £20 and 6 miles from you and may even have some wheels you might like. We don't do dibs here, first to shell out

Neil, I have a rear support bar here in excellent nick if you discover you need one. ---john---

Many people learn this the hard way, buying Jap shocks generally turns out this way. Happy to sell in this country, but no support. ---john---

Will do Dale when I take all the bits out of the boxes lying on the garage floor ---john---
