You might be better asking the edition 38 forums as it seems much more poplirar there , no offence at all but its pretty daft putting all uour wiring in your chassis legs , when something ****s up i bet its a mare to fix

Did you get my pm back ? How much was your inner door seal things you mentioned ?

Ok thats great advice as always and i was hoping you would read my thread Would you say it is worth putting in new standard valve spring im not to bothered about cost just want piece of mind and would putting lighter lifters in there be of any benifit even if you advise that you wouldnt bother as the cams are second hand ? They are low milage i think around 30,000 k not mile Im sure i can talk to vince about these bits but i dont like hassling companys that are busy Im guessing that raising the rev limiter to 7500 would give a little more gain with them being a top end cam ? One last thing that id like to ask is everyone seems to be very scared of valve float ? But wxactly how common a problem is it , am i going to be prone to failure or is it rare to happen ? Its all new to me

No one ? Been looking and i think im going to go for the schrick valve springs with the titanium washers and the lighter set of lifters from schrick also Is there anything else anyone can input ? Is bartek the best place to buy from or is there a good uk supplier that wont rip me off

Cool chris well ill probs take a set of these aswell mate , can you post a link up to the exact fan that the brackets have been designed for mate just so i can see what there like and price it up

Im interested in this also is there a link to the spal fans that everyone will be using ??

Glad you finally got it mate

Anyone help here ?

Also just reali ed how dumb i was earlier in saying 12 or 24 when i knew it was two valves per pot , a reminder that i am not running a v12 haha

Right ok so iv been on bartek tuning and they do an uprated valve and washer does anybody know if thats ok to run , also now iv read on the bartek website that its advisable to change the followers aswell if thats correct ?

Just a quick question regarding uprated valve springs for 268 cams Basically im wanting to know weather changing the springs is advisable ? Engine is on 115,000 and will hopefully have a rebuilt head on before the cams go in Stealth will be mapping the car after all this work is done and im hoping to maybe rise the rev limiter to 7500 instead of the 7200 its at now , standard as far as im aware Now here is the part that is a bit embarrasing , iv looked at some valve springs by ferrea as been told by stealth but not being totally clued up on engines as iv never really had to mess with them and never tuned one is will i need twelve as its a twelve valve ? Or will i need 24 ? For inlet and exhaust , dumb ass question but i just dont know Also is it really needed or best for piece of mind , id maybe keep the rev limiter in place if its not going to make much power over and past 7200 rpm Done some reading on the net but would like some advice of here from the gurus who are in the know Also any other makes other than ferrea than would be an option as as always everything is on a reasonable budget , although i will pay up if it means piece of mind Any advice would be great

Arrrgggggg

Ohh and **** of chris it wasnt funny im traumatised

O yea so it is but in that case im pretty glad mines on the exhaust side just to keep the heat off the bumper

Yep bumper irons was a faff but they do go , i ised a pair of snipe nose grips to squeese them together and a flat headed screw driver to coax them out and yea also a bit of a pull at all times to keep them from popping in again As far as the metal plate goes mine is at the exhaust side and is there to stop the heat from the zorst bowing the bumper , it was riveted in but popped out pretty easy , mine was in a whole but quite scabby tbh and i think there about 20 quid to buy new

Cheers for the pics mate i never knew you had taken them , was a great day that we had a great time Cheers jim hopefully it will be in spray shop soon On other things iv managed to get the front and rear bumper irons off and the slam panel stripped so there of to blasters then getting nylon powdercoated

I think so mate good job were on the good side of things ay

Gutted for you mate , what is the problem with people taking on work with ecu's and messi g people about and breaking there **** , is he gonna pay for the damaged he has caused then ? Id hope so !!

Cheers chaps not sure they are although as i see it now im actually not that far off how i want the car to be , most parts are bought to make it what i want but theres some engine work that need doing and im sure its not going to be cheap , my grandad always tells me you cant spend it when your dead haha !!

Jammy git iv got half my bonnet missing lol

**** did you sort the bonnet ? Sorry dude , i might be at the garage in morning so will try and remember I had a similar muck up with gaskets , i had a great argument with the vw dealer guy , lickily i know him a tad now but after arguing about it i then realised what i had do e and had to apologise haha o well

How have i only just noticed your only in lincs , cant be to far from me

Cheers ron hopefully , still a way to go yet though , got the front bumper stripped down tonight , the metal parts are going to chrisl's mate to be blasted and then of to powder coat Ill spend a few hour in morning stripping the rear bumper down and then that will be all till friday Also got some treats coming for the car aswell they should be here by friday
