frank:
not sure if there is a difference between arnold's engine and my old one really?

slyboogie:
cheers. Nah it wasnt too difficult to do really, straight swap as they are basicly the same engine! Ive done plenty of similar things anyway as im studying motorsport.

 

[slyboogie]

Awesome, i want to go for a job in a modifying garage but i've still alot to learn yet =D Btw, whats the internal diameter on those radiator hoses? I'm assuming you just bought a length of silicone hose and it bent to shape ok?

Also, what would be the correct coolant to use to re-fill my radiator? I've got to change the rad anyway as it leaks, but my rover for example needs an orangey red coolant, the green one causes it to overheat quicker. Just thoguht i'd check

its 25mm ID i just bought this : Coolant Hose

I just used normal antifreeze in mine as my grandad had a big drum of it.

 

[slyboogie]

thats a good price as well, best i could find was £23.50 delivered. I suppose this is about the same but i can chuck in some stainless jubilee clips and save on postage.

I'ma ssuming your coolant is ok? If so thats enough for me =) I only want the hoses for a bit of bay bling That said, anyone know what i can use to remove the horrible black gunk thats built up all over my engine + engine bay?

i think the 5 speed 1.0 has a high compression head ( well worth keeping )

follow your feelings....do it...you know it makes sense!!

 

[joesouthgate]

omg! just heard it passed its MOT! was expecting a big bill!

only advistorys for front dampers and underbody corrosion. will treat it to a huge clean when I get round to it :blush:

 

[joesouthgate]

Yesterday did these:
Left one if heated rear windscreen and right it for front fog lights and yes it is real carbon! the one just below them is for reversing lights.

And added a nismo sticker:

 

[johnsams]

[alien10]

[joesouthgate]

Just a little update - Bought a set of 13" steelies yesterday, 5 good tyres so gonna spray them up tomorrow as my alloys got munched!

 

[joesouthgate]

New 13s instead of 12s:

My new 3 point harness:

 

[squarepants]

needs bucket seats the rear steel's look in the arches rate bad...that rear bumper makes them look worse from the angle of the pic it looks to big IMO. is coming along nicely tho

 

[joesouthgate]

yer i know what u mean but money constraints at the moment mean that not a lot will be changing for a while. sits quite far in the arch cause all the dampers are ######ed

 

[Corbs]

I rather like 'em personally.

 

[joesouthgate]

yer and they dont rub at all!

 

[joesouthgate]

made an adaptor and welded it to my air pan today to take my hks filter, will post up a pic when i get a chance

 

[Napster]

[joesouthgate]

[joesouthgate]
