The first of hopefully several deliveries today....



thanks to Ep2007

 

Adhesive number plate toilet roll....

 

 

those calipers need a bit of kwik on them , would you do the heads again kwik or next time pay some one ?

 

It depends on my financial situation. There's a set on here for sale, built, new seals, supertec valves iirc, ported etc for £600. Literally bolt on 400+ BHP heads. But it was always my intention for this to be a very steep learning curve, and it has lol.
The calipers I will probably refurb when I knock them on for Brembo/AP/Ksport, for now though they will do.

On a side note, just picked these up...


First job tomorrow is some scrubbing

Crank sensor

All are for a V4 type R. Let me know if you can help cheers :thum

 

dude that is amazing, you must be very excited now ,!!

 

What has your cost come in at so far?

 

I need to add it all up, some bits I've bought have then been sold on. I'll do that once I'm driving again though, as it's depressing enough already lol.

 

I just want to put down here for anyone that may read this in future and may have V3/4 heads. Measure as early as possible your valve gaps, as finding the shims is very difficult. Subaru quoted me yesterday on the 8 or so I need, £11 each inc VAT and they'd also have to come from Sweden.

 

 

Ahhh Subaru, that well known Swedish company...

Hope they're not coming from Ikea?!? Lol.

Loving the thread though pal! keep the updates coming!

 

Cheers bud Massive thanks to ***** for sorting me out with the shims, I'm not sure they want their name mentioned in case they get swamped with requests .

Plan was to defy physics and get the engine closer to the car, but the rain has put a stop to that. So fitted the prosports as much as possible...

 

Al, take a pic from the between the front seats, those gauges look pissed.

 

Yeah Simon said the same earlier. They aren't set up yet so I'm sure they will get adjusted. The interior is a disgrace, I haven't cleaned the inside of the car since I bought it a year ago lol.

 

Looks good to me... Although I am pi553d so my judgement may be wrong.
