Hi and welcome to the forum. There are various local meets spread around the country just keep an eye out in hte events section

Babelfish isn't particularly accurate, however it is good enough for the other party to understand what you are on about! Just try to keep it to simple words and sentences.

Much Happier now Henny Thanks Still contemplating the water injection and saving up again for the bore and rebuild and big valve head

Hmmm Maybe that wasn't sucha good idea

Not seen it before but looks interesting

Thanks Guys Jim - It's FAST!!!!

Well here are some pics. Need to use a better camera really!!!!

Well It's Back!!!!!!!!! Sculking very dirtily outside my house! I'm off shortly to get it washed and few other bits sorted then I'll post up the pics!!!!!!

Get the BBS LM's (Second Pic!!!!)

There are also 2 bolts under the bonnet that hold the dash in. Near the windscreen wipers that is you don't know about them you'll spend hours trying to work out how you can undo everysingle bolt in the car and still not be able to get the bolldy dash out!!

Well it was all going well!!! The FMIC was all finished bar the pipework being polished. All was together. Red coolant and boost hoses on. Oil cooler fitted after having got quite a few parts CNC machined. Filled up all the fluids. Run the car on the ramp while we checked everything over! Averything working A OK except for a vacuum leak from the ISV. Switched it off. Re-seated the ISV started it up and no leak. Got in the car to drive off the ramp ................................ No Power Steering. BUGGER! It seems the pump packed up. Either that or its air locked. More than likely given up on me though with my luck recently!!!! Will be up and running on monday hopefully though and will post up all the pics that have been taken!

Is it like a metal on metal rubbing noise. If so I had a similar issue and it might be the weights on the drive shaft come loose. If that is the case you can just cut it off!!!!

I've just had my Samco Coolant hoses delivered for my G60. But due to recent issues with a garage working on the car (you all know the story) none of the current hoses are attached. Can anyone help Identifying what goes where!

Well at long last and second garage later - the FMIC conversion is well underway at the new garage and they are just waiting for the Red Silicone hosing to arrive on friday!!! Wheels are also on but pics of them later! It's only a pic from my phone camera so not great but gives you an idea!!!

You shouldn't need a 3.5bar fpr. However with all that the red tops should make a difference

Thanks Phil K!! Supercharged - They are Porsche Fitment - 5x130 ET52. I'm using H&R Alloy 25mm Hub adapters!

FINALLY!!!!!! - THEY'VE ARRIVED After a small panic when TNT LOST one of the boxes. The last one turned up saturday ready to go on the car when it comes back from the new garage doing the Intercooler. I'm not saying when that is likely to be after the fiasco with the last garage!!!!!

Coolrado! Jinx!!!!!

If you go to family planning I think they should fit you one for free. However, presuming you are male, it might hurt a smidgen!!!! :D

Sounds not too bad to me

Well the saga at Pro-Tune concluded this afternoon. I went up there this afternoon and the car still was not being worked on but was sat just inside the garage and teh owner was working on another car. I informed him that I had given him enough time to finish the car and that I was unhappy with it and was going to remove my car. I offered (to be amicable - as I'm genrally a nice guy!!!) to pay for the parts that had been ordered providing I could take them with me. He then told me that I didn't need to take it away as he had ordered the Red hosing and it would be there in a couple of days. I then said that unfortunatly due to past record I couldn't trust him and still was going to remove the car. To which he then darted in the workshop and dropped the roller shutter and padlocked it. I swiftly followed in to get to my car. I was asked to leave the garage and return at the end of the day to collect the car. Obviously I refused and stated I understood the Health adn Safety aspect but was unwilling to leave my car unattended. He then said if I didn't leave he would call the police. To which I answered to save him the phone bill I would call them - and so I did. Basically the police turned up and I gave a full statement of the whole saga. The owner said that I was trying to intimidate him into giving me the car as I had brought Stevemac and a recovery wagon driver. The Police then asked him why I couldn't have my car, he said this was because he was too busy working on another car and I could get it later. Plus his partner had put the bits away and he didn't know where they were. I said I wasn't happy to leave my car unattended and they agreed and told him to roll up the shutter and I could roll it out myself. So the car came out!!!! He then went back to work on the other car, so the police then informed him that it would be easier on him and Police time if he stopped being awkward and went and fetched the parts and settled up. So he did!!!! He then put the bill together and once he was ready to show me the bill, the police informed both of us that the settlement of bills and handover of money was NOT a Police matter and they would not enforce the payment of bills as it was a civil matter. If I disagreed with the bill I could leave with my car and parts (including all the new ones - Forge Motorsport Intercooler, Oil Cooler, new radiator and other related parts!!!!!!) and he could chase payment though legal channels! I however to be fair and amicable paid for the intercooler and otehr parts and dropped my car off at another garage that are starting work on it tomorrow!!!! Just glad to have my car out of there now!!!!!!!

Hhhhmm Sould be interested if can prove gains on them!
