I use mine daily... 40 miles a day daily...It is when you use the car daily
40 miles is more than enough for my car milage has gone up so much.But that's not the engine you're rebuilding and only 40 miles that's cute

I ****ing love neonsSo I've had 4 nights off not normal for me so had a few days of beautiful sunshine.
Started out with a stock preface grill chopped it up and bridged the gaps with holiday inn electric door keys (perks of the job)
Slapped some body filler in it and while I was cleaning my radiator and removing and sanding the back bumper for another coat of paint Chloe @Clodo was sanding the new grill.
Modified and really engineered my front splitter mounting brackets and number plate.
Till she looked like this
Nismo grill to match the splitter

Next I finally had to have a homage to the late Paul Walker and an under car led kit was next.
Love them or hate them they get you noticed.
Fast and Furious eat your heart out.

Broke my hand doing tyres on one of them ! Worth it though
Christ really... nitrogen filled tyres?Broke my hand doing tyres on one of them ! Worth it though
Sounds like I'm looking for a helix paddle clutch then...imo just like tyres, buy & fit the highest performing clutch you can afford within ur time & budget for the max torque & type of abuse ur ever gonna throw at her.
do it right "once" and not bit by bit.
better to have too much clutch bite than lack of.
I'm guessing stock £30-60 180mm clutch & PP will only go upto 90ish hp?
a more aggressive £200 180mm paddle helix clutch goes bout 150hp.
bigger £350 200mm clutch like mine is guaranteed to handle +160hp.
Ahh right my exhaust is shot to pieces literally falling apartnot a sportex, I had a janspeed full exhaust, still have it in the garage, bout 1.65" dia. stock downpipe is a tiny pea shooter. my SS turbo exhausts 2.25"

I'd be interested in what you do for an exhaust (N/A) because I'm having issues with my autotest car, I've got an Ashley manifold but they don't seem to make micra systems any more.Ahh right my exhaust is shot to pieces literally falling apart
Been on sportex site and there is no information about the system at all just prices and what tip size you want :/ I'll email them and see what they say...
Looks like I'll be getting a sportex 4" system no reply from sportex as yet.I'd be interested in what you do for an exhaust (N/A) because I'm having issues with my autotest car, I've got an Ashley manifold but they don't seem to make micra systems any more.
That price not inc mani?Looks like I'll be getting a sportex 4" system no reply from sportex as yet.
Won't be getting manifold because its going to be changed for turbo mani anyways.
£205.48 for a full system
That downpipe all the way back.That price not inc mani?
Not bad, now I need to find out how loud they are, has to be on the quiet side of things..
Considering an Ashley back box is £150.. Sportex sounds a good way to go... In fact I've got a Peugeot 205 GTI Sportex back box under my bed I should probably try and sell ..That downpipe all the way back.
Sound pretty good as well dude Lots of popping goodnessConsidering an Ashley back box is £150.. Sportex sounds a good way to go... In fact I've got a Peugeot 205 GTI Sportex back box under my bed I should probably try and sell ..
Thanks for reminding me
Your making this sounds betterI've got that full sportex system with the 4" tip
It's rather loud. If you take it to 6 thou and then change you do get a flame
Every gear?If you take it to 6 thou and then change you do get a flame
Every gear?
Stronger high torque ability to stop head lift and I got them cheap or would of just used standard ones.Whats the difference with the arp bolts?
I wouldn't know tbh... I'm guessing so... meh it's just another spec I guess.But surely the limiting factor for torque would be the aluminium block no?
IndeedAt least bragging rights
Still waiting for sportex to arrive no engine rebuild stuff yet either :/
Cheers Paul tiger seal is something I have already so I'll give that a goI use this black gasket sealant stuff in halfords
http://www.halfords.com/motoring-tr...xhaust-repairs/loctite-si-5980-flange-sealant
but imo it takes ages to cure and prob too soft. I find PU sealant like tigerseal the best/strongest.
it's very important that you carefully scrap all the old sealant off both mating surfaces (including the groove between rocker cover & rubber seal) to provide a smooth flat surface. I use razor blades to scrape along flat faces making sure the old swarf doesn't fall into the engine & flathead screwdriver in the grooves.
and thoroughly degrease every nook cranny with carb/brake cleaner & rag (just like detailling) it only takes a small section of oil to ruin the seal and leak.
dry with lint free rag or kitchen roll or old tshirt.
apply bead of sealant inside the rocker cover groove, push rubber seal into groove, smear the excess onto the bottom side of the rubber seal.
smear a consistant & thin layer of sealant around the head wherever the seal sits on.
bolt it down evenly.
for the timing cover same thing. light thin unbroken smear of sealant all round the touching faces and evenly bolt up.
leave to fully cure 12-24hr imo before splashing it with oil from starting the engine.
