Are your rear struts metallic gold and do they have "AUS" stamped into them? Mine were too. I've got a pic of them but it seems I haven't uploaded them to photobucket

Are you anywhere near London? I have a book written by the guys who run this website that you can borrow: http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/index.php It's really good and the blokes are top notch too (I've contacted them about the bits I need for the RV8.) If you get a megasquirt, you won't need EDIS. the MS can control ignition drivers Some of the bits you will might want to look at http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasquirtii-programmable-efi-system-pcb30-kit-black-case-p-119.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/ign6-sixtower-coil-pack-p-430.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/hall-effect-crankshaft-position-sensor-p-479.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/34-361-trigger-wheel-p-181.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/gm-open-element-iat-sensor-with-connector-p-116.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/gm-closed-element-clt-iat-sensor-with-pigtail-p-58.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasquirt-relay-board-assembled-unit-p-32.html http://www.diyautotune.com/catalog/megasquirt-relay-cable-p-47.html You might be able to get a lot of bits from the scrapper. You may or may not want an o2 sensor also

Cool, thanks. Should there be two gaskets for each spacer then?
-
Cool thanks. I'm just looking to do what I can for free for a bit of fun while the engine is out. They certainly are a heavy clutch! I don't mind that though.
-
Brilliant. When I'm back I'll have to measure everything up and work out how much to take off. ta Cam

Cool, thanks. I was wondering about that. Any idea what the ceramic spacer things are? I don't remember seeing those on my car.
-
Cool, I believe my head is an 8.5:1 MM unit. I'm quite happy to only run it on 97 RON. Would you still stick to 9:1 on the good stuff or go a bit higher?

Hey Guys I managed to get hold of a NOS head gasket set. I was told different things about which one to get so I chose the o-ringed gasket set and also got a non-recessed NOS gasket too. Will pass on whichever I don't use at cost later. Anyhow, my question is; going from the below picture, is anything missing? To me, it looks like there is a surplus gasket (the one on the end). Also, what are the ceramic spacer things?# It's Unipart GEG.1204 Ta Cam

I would but this is really just a stop-gap until I'm home for good and can build the V8. Not looking to spend any money on it other than new gaskets. It's also a good chance to get some practice in with the grinder before moving onto heads I don't want to have to throw away.

Hi Guys I'm heading home for a Month in late March. Planning to drop out the 6 I put in and put back the motor it came with on SU carbs. Also thinking about whipping the head off and doing some minor port shaping/valve de-shrouding, maybe a head skim, valve back cuts and radiused corner (on exh) etc (My brother is an engineer so should be no problem doing the skimming and valve work.) My question is. If I'm running the stock 18-58-58-18 cam, how much should I look at taking off the head if I run on 98 ron? Also, with those timings, I'm getting 256 degrees of duration on a 110 LSA and 36 degrees of overlap? Is that correct? Isn't that quite a hot cam for a motor like this (that puts out well under 50HP per litre)?

^But much more accurate. Could always have more than one bung and move sensor around as required when tuning.
-
Good stuff! I'm hoping to have a 2 poster installed by the time I get back for my trip home. Got 2 cars to sort out (plus people to see) in a month.
-
It's the balance between the two. If you have a stiffer front ARB without one to match in the rear, as the rear of the car leans the thicker front bar will end up lifting the inside front wheel. The same reason that a lot of hot hatches cock a rear wheel. At least that's how it was explained to me
-
Cool, thanks. I'll have a look when I'm back home. I'm not sure where the seatbelts are from. They came with a whole load of Trump parts so could be Trump or from something else.

Hi Guys Has anyone fitted modern retracting 3 point belts into their cars? I have some in the shed at home that I'd like to fit but I recall having a look and thinking an extra mounting point would be required? Thanks
