Looking at a holiday in Japan next year for mine and my girlfriends 40th and my stepdaughters 16th. Looking to go for approx 2 weeks. We are getting some ideas together of what each of us would want to try and do (unfortunately it won't be all car related). Anyone got any tips, things to watch...

Mine are getting a bit ropey now so want to splash out and replace them. I've normally just bought cheap Kent car care ones which aren't great, but kinda do the job for the most part. Can anyone suggest something decent, or are cheaper ones just as good as fancy ones? I'm not super anal...

My turbo setup on my forged build boosts up really strangely. I'm not sure if this is to be expected or I am missing something? If I floor it at lower rpms, I get pretty much 0 boost until about 4k rpm and then it goes from 0-full boost within about 150rpm. It's like a switch. This makes the...

Noticed I have a lot of carbon build up on the tops of my pistons. A worrying amount based on the mileage! It wasn't even that bad on my stock pistons when I took the engine apart!!!! It's a forged build that has only done about 1000km. Engine doesn't seem to use any oil. I've done a...

I tried asking an eBay seller about this, but it was painful as they didn't get what I was asking!!!? Do the Hel braided front lines come with the brackets as per the circled bits in the picture below?

Mine seems to be buggering me about and sometimes jams so I can't fill up :( Has anyone got one? It's the bit at the fuel cap end, not in the car. Thanks

For sale: cometic MLS headgasket. 0.052" (1.3mm thickness) 76mm bore Item Condition: like new Price and price conditions: £100 delivered in uk Extra Info: dry fitted and nipped down by hand only. Decided on a different thickness in the end Pictures: attached. Let me know if you want more...

It's been a longish build on this one, but it's finally running and mapped. Forged 4e running a wepr hybrid td04 kit @ 1.4 bar. Only got 260bhp, which was a bit disappointing tbh :( Its only done about 300 miles since being built and needs a couple of bits sorting, so I think it has a bit more...

Finally got round to starting my freshly built forged engine up and am a bit disappointed as I have some piston slap when cold :( It lasts about 30 seconds at this ambient temperature (16°c) Having a read, it is pretty common on forged builds. It wasn't something I was expecting with the...

my lower cambelt cover has some holes in for some reason!?!? i want to try and repair it as its overall, pretty decent condition. i was looking into using something like this: https://www.sealey.co.uk/product/5637707711/fast-fix-black-filler-adhesive has anyone used something similar before...

Anyone had this happen? No idea how I am going to get it out. Pretty gutted tbh! Any advise it's gone on one of the dowel holes and it about 10mm in. Was bolt number 7 on the final torque down :(

Has anyone got one that hasn't been butchered by retards who can't use the standard timing marks? Part number 13566-11020

Had the head rebuilt and I am now setting the valve clearances. Should I set them exactly or a little looser to account for the valves settling into the seats? What's everyone's opinions on this?

My current braided lines dont have the bracket to bolt them to the damper so I have some cabled tie arrangement going on which isn't ideal. I was just going to buy a set of replacement hel braided lines, but most of the pictures show generic lines so I'm not 100% sure they come with the...

Tried various things in the past and never found anything that great. What do people suggest that will stay put on the bearing and last without drying out? I hate a squeaky, horrible feeling clutch!

Doesn't say anything about it in the instructions. Which orientation should the gudgeon pin circlips be installed on on wossner forged pistons? General consensus seems to be with the open end at either 12 or 6 o'clock, but nothing specific to wossner??? Any advice from any engine builders on...

Had my head refaced for my forged build. Got it back today but noticed it had a mark on the face right where the sealing ring would sit for the headgasket. Should I be worried about it? I can feel it with my fingernail.

I have been sent some heat range 8 plugs. I feel these are too cold for my application. I only use the car in the summer (UK), it will be a forged engine running 1.4bar boost. It is a street car, not for track. I don't hoon it constantly either. Are the 8s fine, or should I send them back and...

Anyone used anywhere before that they would rate to get my injectors cleaned? Or anywhere to stay away from? Thanks

Was looking at getting the Mazda rx8 440cc injectors for my build. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with them? I understand the spray pattern probably isnt optimal for our cars, I didn't know if this really made that much of a difference in reality?
