swampy

I Was in a similair position working for an auction company, always looked over for promotion and critised for the smallest of things Had a manager that liked to dish out disaplinerys left right and centre I stuck at it until I had a new job, one after noon he took me in the office to issue me another letter telling me I would be having a meeting with hr!!! Only I had a letter for him, it was my resignation as I hAd being offered a new job, walking distance from home and more money!!! He really wasn't impressed as in sure this time he was throwing enough crap to see me out the door!!! Im training at the new job at the moment, doing It off site and have a brand new SLK to drive around in!!!

Hi mate did you get the pm?? Need a few details from you so I can quote you happy

Have a look in the suppliers forum at my thread I can sort you out, do you have four flexi lines at the rear or two?? let me know the year and model / standered spec of car and i can work out how mnay lines you have

As can be found in the supplier forum I can do the custom braided lines to suit the front and rear conversions Love the attention to detail

It's something that all manufacturers do after a while They only need to keep parts available for ten years after the last car rolls off the production line

I got the very last pair available Ordered them tuesday

an old shot of it, on the way to book our wedding in devon the lines of it are very crisp and clean and i dont think it has aged that bad considering the other cars on the road at the time and how dated they now look

todays update all back togeather, i have a sore neck from sun burn!! pic of the gasket in place, sorry forgot to take a pic of it pre fitted the tb, on the left is the modfied one and the right is the standered one. cant really see from the shots but just before the buttefly is amassive step, most of this has being removed standered tb modfied tb which shows the step, or lack of it now inlet manifold inlet opened out to port match with the gasket and the radius inside smoothed and blended hit a few snags putt ing all back togeather, the main one was the bolt holes for the rear lifting hooks so i had to take them off and file the holes open slightly have only taken it for a quick spin around the block but throttle response feels better, engine note has changed and is now even more throaty!! and here is how she looked on the 28th june last year after an idiot pulled across me and after i had repaired it

Can any one tell me the length of the window scraper on a 90 car

As standerd it's 194 bhp and 267 nmof torque Last time this one was on the rollers it made 212bhp and 282 nm torque And that's just with a panel filter and exhaust, hopefully the new work will see it around 220bhp

as the im on "gardening" leave but only have a barked area and small amount of grass to cut that didnt fill much of my time up. so as the sun was shining today i set about doing a bit of work on the v6. firstly it got a bath in dodo juice shampoo then a coat of auto glym super resin two coats of poorboys black hole sun and at the moment a coat of poor boys natty blue wax is curing!! here are a few pics from before the nattys blue not a bad reflection!! then i wanted to change the plugs as id not done them since i got the car, removed the throttle body and inlet manifold so i can get too it wasnt as bad as i thought to get too it, just the bolts on the lifting eyes at the rear of the engine that thru me a small curved ball!!!! any way whilst the manifold was off i thought i would give it a clean!! so set to it with the wire wheel and started to clean it before during after will be posted tomorrow, need to find the mount for my set of polishing mops and soap so i can try and polish it properly a few tweeks will be made whilst its apart, the inlet manifold gasket is being replaced with a 6mm thick ptfe one, these are widely used on jap cars to reduce heat transfer between parts and ultimatly reduce the air temp in the inlet tract these are still being worked on so pictures will be up tomorrow. next is the throttle body, have had a spare one of these almost since i got the car, i started with fitting a standered paper gakset and marking the inner edge of where the gasket comes too, this is a good few mm outside of the edge of the tb mouth. i then got the die grinder out and removed the excess material and smooth it all in to the tb itself. i then looked further in to the tb at the ridge just beofre the butterfly / throttle shutter and proceeded to smooth this in, make the step from it much smaller and more radioused out. hopefully the upshot of this will be better throttle response and maybe a bit more power, more air in equals more squish so a bigger bang!! i will also make a ptfe gasket to go in btween the inlet manifold and throttle body, these will all be updated tomorrow when they are completed. I will also be making a few uprated ground earth cables to go to the rear bank of the engine (already have them on the front bank) these are provem to help smooth out the idel, cut down on ecu faults, improve light output and have being shown on rolling roads to add a n extra bhp or two a further update will be posted tomorrow

Guys if you want these in the next month you need to start thinking about ordering them as i start my new job on the 25th june i doubt very much i will have time to get these ordered up and posted out etc for the month of july.

Oh I see Can't help them I'm afraid just make sure you get all the grease out before you refit it Certain types of grease will mess the rubber seals up in no time

Normaly just pump air in to it don't use grease

Can do you a shiny new braided pair for when you refit them!!! If you have a trigger gun with a nozzle on you can put that in to the caliper and blow the piston out

I can supply braided flexis to join it all togeather
