WDID? Fitted 2 new front calipers, in less than 2 hours, not bad seeing as it was on my gravel driveway and on my own, all with the nasty scissor jack that come as standard. Now my car doesnt try to set fire to its pads when i drive it, and it seems to get along the road alot quicker, happy days
Wdid?
Took 2 coils off the rear springs to relieve the epic preload i had! 2 coils off on standard shocks ~ 1 inch drop maybe.... 2 coils on my corsa shock ~3mm ish but had relieved most of the preload and is still definitely captive maybe have some comfort returning to my car! Still only got one seat though...

i thought this might of cleared but it got worse and the garage confirmed head gasket and not to drive it anymore until its done. so its being looked at today stripped down etc. Cylinder Head will be sent off to a engine workshop and get it skimmed and a new uprated head gasket will be fitted!
WDID? Removed Charlie's suspension ready to put on the new k11
What's happening with wee Charlie then?

Not really it was getting the adjustable one on, cause I have minimal tools at the garage I had to make it fit the old bush sleeve

Cosworth turbo'd 1.3
Removed the knackered old standard fan for a mega blow slimline fan
Changed/tidied up the boost hoses.
Started to knock up a new exhaust.
Turned the boost up another 2 psi and ran it to adjust the fueling, now running 9psi and fueling within safe AFR. Hoping for a bar of boost with the SR20DET injectors and MAF.

Ended up taking the rod home and drilling it out 3mm
Thanks for the vote of confidence Frankyou can fix it ade
. Didn't look too bad on first inspection but when removed it left a couple of fire rings behind . Tbh I think the problem was:-a: Not renewing head bolts, which I knew were suspect last time
b: Not thread chasing/tapping head bolt holes
These things WILL be done if I decide to repair it
Need to test head for trueness(??) when I get a decent straight edge and some feeler gauges before deciding which way things are gonna go
someone is selling k10 super s engine. you can buy of him thoWhat my car really needs is a cg conversion.....if only
