I'll collect and drop it off for you

Great news mate.

 

Great news Mark

See if you can find out from the dealer if they changed the design of the new OE pistons vs. the old ones as rumoured by DaveP

 

Excellent news, does that mean we should see some pics shortly of your new rims fitted if you have decided to keep!

 

OMG!!!

just got back to work from picking it up, 30+ miles of pure joy....

nice seats, firm ride, quick shift, light clutch feels worlds apart from the 2.0R i've been burinng about in


I even forgot about the 'I' dial that was in the centre !!!!!


spoke to mechanic who has done 70 miles in it with plenty of ecu readings etc etc with no problems reported, told me to take it easy for 2/300 miles then open her up - taking it back after a 1000 miles for oil/filters change (if i want)


have picked up a PPP system for £170 from Crossroads so the system will be back to warranty standard

waiting on tyres to go on the wheels then i shall for sure be fitting them

 

engineers report

 

Chuffed you got the car back - you keeping it a while then Mark ?

I'm curious... why change the left bank exhaust cam pulley? Was it damaged or is that another potential failure mode??

 

The 330S got a few treats today.

Following teasing Revolution for discount, I got a Jap rear "fog" light, zerosports cool aid 2 for TMIC and Summit radiator splitter ... for a fair few quid off!

Didn't take long to fit ( light was longest as had to remove several bits of plastic trim first! ) , back end looks more balanced, the engine bits I'll see if they do anything tomorrow on run to work!!

 

vulnax, i have no idea why, keeping it, yes, i have no choice, too much finance tied up in it at the moment hence why its going back to full warranty friendly standard.

 

So they have only changed 2 pistons & rebuilt, i think you will be getting the lone car back in the not to distant future.

 

I can't actually read the report - the pic is too small?

 

 

I keep toying with getting a cool action II (summer coming and all)... does Revolution have them in stock?

 

new wheels on, the 35 offset just makes the wheels sit out in the arch PERFECT

car needs to settle a bit mor eto drop but i think they look amazing and the chrome rim goes really well with the whit eof the car, just need to black off the centre caps and white "P" them up.

better pics to come as these were rushed on my iphone

 

Very nice Mark really suits the car
Glad you are all sorted and back on the road again.

 

Nice one mate

They look really good, post up some pics once the suspension has settled and you're on a nice flat surface.

Glad it's all worked out peachy in the end

 

looking good mate!

 

Double click on it to open a new full size version ..

Ohh Scooby L has posted it anyway!

 

Yep! Think so. Call Keith at Revolution and ask.

I got the one off the demo car, and a new Summit radiator splitter ( in black, matches the dark grey hatch better than silver Zero Spports one even if it was also discounted as off the demo / Glenn's car! )

V

 

That's more like it Mark - I must admit I've missed your posts with pics of your latest cosmetic / asthetic addition

 

lol cheers midichlorian




has anyone tried fitting the prodrive flaps for the hawkeye to their hatch yet

 

Now thats a good looking car!! V nice Mark, you right about the chrome rim.

Lee

 

cheers codie




as well as the brand new GT-1 wheel I have for sale , the 4 off my car with 235/40/18 with Pirelli Pzero Corsa tyres

looking for around £1250 (the tyres cost £900 on their own!!!)

all have between 6 -3mm of tread from indicator left on them, 2 were only replaced 3 months ago, and the car has spent one month off the road

 

Mark, if you had 4 separate confirmed offers for the GT1 wheels would you consider splitting them? I wouldn't mind a spare the same.

 

strike, i do have 1 wheel brand new for sale anyway

 

Pm ed as they say

 

I thougth the same at first when I read the engineers report. I think Mark caught it really early on though before there was any significant damage, so should be fine. I got a new short engine fitted to mine when it went...but then again the skirt of my number 3 piston was properly broken/in bits and the bore was damaged...

p.s. I am not an engineer like you are mate so please correct me if I'm wrong

 

Now that's a perfect offset

 

'ere... we've nearly made 100 pages on this thread!

 

I'm on 149!
