I need to find a place like this close to me - North East. I'm thinking it might not be a good idea to mess with 2 pack , I haven't got any face masks. Thanks

All the same! But you do need 17" wheels to clear the UK front brakes.

Green-orange on the pre-facelift digital clock.

The plumbing looks okay. I wired mine to the stereo for the power and the clock for the illumination.

The previous owner cracked one of the skirts which I want to repair and paint. I'm confident I can get a good finish but I'm finding it difficult getting a good match. I've tried two paint supply places and also Halfords, it's red 3L2. When I had the front bumper painted the bloke thought the paint might have had a tinted lacquer. Any ideas where I can get a better match, there aren't so many places that sell cellulose. Any thoughts on using 2 pack, I know of the hazards involved?

You did the right thing. I probably would have asked him somehow to prove that the car was his before I told him the location of the keys. Edit . It must've been the right person as he asked for the keys without you mentioning it on the note. Very community spirited ! The ungrateful sod.

Hi, any pics of the engine, interior, front , rear and sides?

Very very sad, he looks so nice!

I bought one, they're CRAP. No accuracy at all , sometimes it cannot pinpoint it any closer than half a mile.

The plugs you've got will be fine, but a 0.7mm gap is a little narrow. 0.8 to 0.9 would be better. Hadyn's right about the boost, it will go up when it gets colder. But I would still remove the restrictor ring to see if it does go up. The ideal situation would to be getting just over 1.0 bar with the restrictor in or out - (whatever it takes) - in the summer - warmer weather. Then get the extra by fitting a bleed valve or boost controller which would give you the ability to adjust it when needed as the weather gets colder so you can limit the boost to 1.2 bar.

They do, I think these are perfect.

Double Sided Self Adhesive Foam Pads. You need a good surface. Most glues will be too brittle and will not last with the vibration on the bike.

When I did my BPU I was getting 1.2 bar with the stock side mount intercooler which wasn't in very good condition. It went down to approx 1.0 bar when I fitted my new Chris Wilson Intercooler which was obviously more efficient.
-
You would notice for sure if you had a misfire if the plugs weren't okay. I would definately remove the restrictor ring like Steve said. But keep an eye on the boost as you don't want it to go too high. I'm not familiar with the RSR exhaust, it hasn't got a removable baffle has it?
-
I was reading up about the MBC's, I didn't realise they also let a little of the pressurised air to leak out. Without this it would act as a check valve. All is clear now.
-
Okay, so the MBC can bleed a little air off to atmosohere to release the actuator.
-
But if you did block off A and Is a MBC just a one way valve which you can adjust? Then any pressurised air going past it would just keep the wastegate open permanently as the air acting on the actuator has got nowhere to go to if you effectively disable the venting through the VSV by blocking it. Or doesn't a MBC work like this?
-
Complete aerial - new approx £160. New mast - approx £30 Secondhand ones do come up for sale.
-
So Bleed Valve can be fitted at point A or B Manual Boost Controller fitted at B
