    ohh :( how did you fit yours then? and i'm assuming you can't fit high compression pistons either? if i'm correct cg10 pistons work well in a cg13, also can i ring you to discuss further or you ring me on 07805934828 please, Cheers mate
    frank
    i would,nt be able to fit it asif i,m afraid, and 50 quid to lighten and balance :)
    Asif
    gotta be up early tomorow :( so off to bed, but if you pop me your contact number mobile or landline i could give you a call tomorrow, and have a chat i guess it will be easier explaining stuff over the phone :)
    Asif
    yaya, how much will you charge including fitting? can you do it in a day if i come early as im in manchester so not too far i suppose should take 1 hour and half
    frank
    The search function is pretty good on cisco,s mate, and i should be able to do.a f/w no probs :)
    Asif
    i'll have a look Franks thanks, although i am new to the blogs haha so will probs take me like 2 hours just to find your blog, if i came down to you in birmingham could you lighten my flywheel? pleaseeeeee i'd pay you :D and also maybe fit high compression pistons? as it took me 10 hours just to fit the janspeed system yep i said it 10 hours lool because the bolts were seized up had to use a friends angle grinder :p
    frank
    and some answers to your questions on my blogs on micra.com.au asif (another n/a project thread, and ghetto turbo thread)
    Asif
    and lastly what did you mean by leaning out at higher rmp? you mean fuel or air? and what do you mean by disconnecting the speed sensor sorry for bombarding you with all these questions i'm just keen to learn more haha
    Asif
    which pistons could i put in the 1.3 engine?, will there be any reliability issues as i drive around 80 miles a day 3/4 days a week (40 in morning 40 in afternoon) also how would i get the flywheel lightened? and how much much would all this cost ? under 8 seconds for these 2 mods seems very nice also will there be torque if i wanted to pull from say/40/50mph?

    Yes leon, and the white one i,m smokin atm has alto rear springs on the front and cut rears
    leon
    Ive had a read through your blog mate, it looks like to use matiz front shocks and springs, and matiz rear springs with corsa b shocks to hold the rear springs in place :) cheers for the help mate :)
    frank
    There are pics and info on my blogs on cisco,s leon, another n/a blog and ghetto turbo blog

    decided for a full engine swap rather than internals if I put a cga3 (1.4) do I need ecu and gearbox? Or can I use mine?
    Glen
    I havent got the cams yet so ill get them and get the details and see whats needed
    frank
    i guess so glen, knowing the base circle dia will tell us what,s involved tho eh
    frank
    hi glen, you need to measure the base circle dia first mate (stock is 32mm iirc), then decide how to tackle it
    Glen
    Hi Frank

    I have bought the advanti Cams. I was wondering how I go about
    shimming them and getting them set up correctly. I had an idea and
    wondered if you would be interested, If I sent you a head and the cams
    would you be able to shim them for me? I would cover all the cost and
    what ever labour you would charge.

    If you could let me know.

    Regards

    Glen

    I wouldn't use a profile post but I can't post in the forums or start a conversation. When I post or reply the text I type is defaulting to a times new roman font, this is not normal, I press post and get a red message box 'please enter a valid message' I logged out and in and tried alsorts, I cant see a contact us anywhere and I don't know how to get help with my problem.

    Frank, I have a pair of camshafts in my cg13 engine I wish to transplant into my cg10. The 13 was stored outdoors for 2 yr and some of the lobes have a light coating of corrosion. Will they be useless or do i just clean them up with wire wool?
