Old Clive:
Turnaround for the block will be a couple of weeks which is ideal as I have a straight forward rebuild on a V5 STI to do. That arrives on Sunday.

Young Clive:
Yeah a new offering from RCM don't know exact details yet but they should be very fruity indeed and will be going into the V4 heads.

Turbo is going to be a GT35R (0.82 exhaust housing) it's going to have a billet wheel but will be sourced direct from Garrett via RCM. I have no idea if its the same as the SC offering but Olly said its direct from Garrett themselves. Will also be using the RCM equal length manifold which should give the car a lovely note, especially on full chat

The Garrett billets have been knocking around in the US for a while so I have read along with the more recent Blouch offering. I expect they will be very similar.

No pressure but have you 2 got an estimated completion date ?

Happy to take you both up the runway btw at Marham

I think similar spec and AVCS heads will work better and make better figures. I still think the .63 housing is the better option as if your going with syvecs ecu you can spec the odd fuel map to say 30% meths and get great figures and if you go with a billet gt35r on .63 housing its all good

The Exedy Twin Plate for Clive's has arrived today.

I was looking at the ACT offering for mine. Would like to give one a whirl before shelling out for an Exedy myself.

I'd read they were Ł400 a set but have just read where i'd seen that again and that was to supply and fit unpainted. So if they are Ł200 a set than that's even more cash saved to go in the engine parts pot

post 160 was where I'd got Ł400 from.

I thought you told me that you are having a Titanium Zimmer frame made and fitted to the drivers door so you can claim "Mobility allowance"

Fella's today my P1 developed a constant squeaking noise on the n/s front?.

Only a 20mph or under, constant in a straight line, constant turning left, stops when turing right.......... bearing?

Only I have a track day in 2 days at Brands.

What you reckon?

Thanks

Possibly Brakes,

Take it down the road and do a bit of hard braking could just be some pad deposit.

Give the brakes a workout.

I think that Daz may be correct as my kit does this some times and it clears after some hard braking. Failing wheel bearings tend to make a rumbling noise as appose to a squeak.

Oh well. will be getting plenty of it tomorrow at Brands and that may cure it.
