  1. I went ahead and bought a divided adapter plate to see how it all fits. The only problem i now have is that the wastgate is out of alignment with the down pipe. Would it be easier to blank off the pipe on the downpipe, spin the wastegate 180 degrees an make a screamer pipe to follow down the down pipe?
  2. What you want to pay for one? I have one here sat in the garage I removed for my single build
  3. Set of J Spec hard turbo pipes, freshly powder coated in silver, they have a slight bit of black speckling on them as i think the paint was applied a little too thick. But they still look fantastic. I'll let the pictures talk. Im looking for £120 delivered
  4. Its a gte engine. Thanks for the thought though
  5. This block was bought off original_amo around 5 years ago its a standard block with standard internals and has just been sat in my garage under a sheet since then doing nothing. There is no head included just the block. It has been sat on the engine stand in the back of the garage with a sheet over it to keep dust and crap out, My plan was to rebuild this to a good spec but im pretty sure the engine i have just removed from my car only suffered from some mild small end damage so i shouldn't need this as a spare. The engine I was told had only covered 40k miles so its a very low mileage block and in a good condition. Although now i would strip it all clean it all up and install new bearings etc... just because its been sat for so long. I'm going to ask what I paid for it which is £600 which I don't think is a bad price considering it comes with all the internals. Pistons, rods, and crank. Seeing as winter is now setting in and people want winter projects to crack on with this could be a good start. Thanks for taking a look.

  6. Dont forget you can get some of these little beauties to play with too. The mk9 thunderflashes are amazing and oh my god for an airsoft grenade are bloody loud. Alot of sites only let you use up to an mk5. Google some vids for the MK9's they are pretty serious esp at £9.50 a pop. http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/index.php?cPath=266&sortcol=1&sortdir=a&p=9999
  7. My airsoft collection
  8. Back on British soil now. Did you get any measurements
  9. Cool cheers. The volcano has been going off on the island of java recently so the airport has been closed here in bali so my flight may be delayed. By how long I don't know but I'm sure I'll find that out on wednesday
  10. Can do if that's ok with you. If you can hold them until this Thursday for me too that would be great. Currently on my hols in bali so not back until Thursday evening. That's if some one else doesnt have them before then.
  11. Will these clear kad 6 pot front and rear calipers. Or do you think I would need spacers. if so I would be interested. I know you said about no delivery but a drive for me from Preston would just not be worth it so would delivery be an option?
  12. I used to be into it massively. But haven't been now for around 4 years mainly due to the fact that there is no where near to me that is decent with mixed terrain is bit of open land woodlands buildings etc... I would love to get back into it though. I used to play before all this ukara boll@€$ came out. So if I were to buy stuff again it would all have to be multicoloured stuff. I'm on my hols atm but when I get back I'll take a pick of all my toys.
  13. A couple of parts that have been sat waiting in the garage whilst i save up the rest for the engine rebuild
  14. Im just thinking out loud here. With regards to my manifold being undivided and my turbo housing being divided aparantly its not a good setup this way as you can crack the housing. I could look into using a QSV shown below. which may give me a slightly quicker spool which im not to fussed about. The other option im thinking about is a T4 divided spacer plate. would using this actually help in any way towards removing the turbine housing from being the first thing in contact with the exhaust gasses. Like I said im only thinking out loud here so any comments are welcome although i know what they are all going to be. (stop being a tight arse and buy a proper manifold for it. Buy cheap buy twice etc...) Another manifold isnt out of the question im just curious as to try and keep costs down. Im not in any need of quicker spool etc just more of a protection for the turbo. Any help appreciated Gav
  15. not unless you know a friendly copper that can do a vehicle check to find its address
  16. This look such a nice model http://www.autoartcollection.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_7&products_id=678 Gav
  17. It's the first time I've ever done any fast moving subjects so I kind of suprised myself. I wouldn't mind getting out and doing it more often I just wish there were a few mor race circuits closer to home
  18. Ive uploaded a few pictures from the F1 weekend ive just been on for my GF's dads 70th some need cropping but i'll get round to that later, hope you like them http://www.gavinstarrphotography.com/f1-weekend-2015.html Gav
