If you speak to Dave dixon (griffin autosport) on here, He can get the half shaft that you need to go from the calibra half to the hub.Quote:

I am getting the head from steve off here. I would look at the costing for the 2mm head as the valve seats have to be changed which is about £800 iirc just for that, and im only going for this head as it was already made and affered at a price I couldnt knock back:thumb:
You have a pm aswell
Decided to spend the day on the car instead of at work lol.
Got the wiring all tidied up and started soldering in the wires for the vx220 clocks.
Picked up my new exhaust manifold from GDN16v cheers should release a bit more power. Ordered my 20ltr interal fuel tank and started to make a shopping list of 3" exhaust bits I need to finish the system
Still to order:
Swirl pot
Braided fuel hose
fittings for tanks
Facet pump for swirl pot
and upgrade the standard inline pump.
havent decided wheather to run the brake lines inside the car or on the underneath.
Will put pics up tomorrow. :thumb:
Sounds good, a bit more progress :)
crack on mate.
well took the old pistons out today found no issuses with the crank

The postman has delivered more parts today
A 1.5ltr Swirl pot
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02982.jpg
I was having problems getting the orginal pedal box to fit so the kind guys at OBP exchanged it for a floor mounted one instead.
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02984.jpg
Still waiting for the fuel tank to be delivered, some assembly lube for the bearings aswell
Postman delivered me some more goodies today
Some engine lube for the bearings
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02992.jpg
And the alloy 20ltr tank I have been waiting for
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02994.jpg
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC02995.jpg
Still to get is the two fuel pumps and the fuel lines.
You'll be filling that tank more often than you'd like with such power Gareth.
As long as it gets me to York approximate 80 miles I'll be happyQuote:

If you're like me you'll want a bit of excitement along the way & that could well turn out to be the splinter in the build.
It's always th way back the fun is lolQuote:

cheers guys
Well I got a bit more done with wwmnw.
Started by honing the bores
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC03003.jpg
then checking to make sure the tolerences were as spec'ed
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC03002.jpg
using ACL bearings again with engine lube
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC03004.jpg
the finished product for the morning
http://i761.photobucket.com/albums/x...0/DSC03009.jpg
Next weekend hopefully get the inside provisionally finished and the back axle built up before the car goes on the back burner for a bit
coud cleaned the block before you start putting it to gather u lazy man
there is plenty of time for that lol. Anway isnt that what you were suposed to do instead of wossing out :pQuote:

I thought the bores after honing are supposed to be more of a criss cross, rather than circular markings. But im far from an expert :)
Cheers mate. I was using a clark glaze breaker I know you normally get the criss cross arkings when it comes back from a engineering shop :confused: . I did it like that just to clean them up a bit and for the slighy wider bore (0.07mm) :thumb:Quote:

btw matey was itr you selling the wossners on the bay last week? did they sell?
Your one brave man ! I'd of been having the block out and given that a proper going over before putting it together ! especially with the crank you have sitting in it.
Either way good to see some more progress
It's all down to the technique when honing. Must move upwards and downwards inside the bore. Only going from what I've seen.Quote:

Hi mate yes it was me selling them the pistons went for a total of £320 and still have the rodsQuote:

The crank is a forged steel crank from autosprint, and because its not brand named peole are unsure of his parts but I know of at least 3 people who use his stuff and are running fast cars.Quote:

MOST of Oli DHdev's parts/work was by him and his car saw 196bhp from a c16xe on tb's.
My mates had a lightened fly off him and its bang on, i think hes from the old school and does things that work well not look fancy etc..
Scott
just read from page 1, i have a autosprint crank in my xe and know of 5 other people aswell never had a problem with any. alot of so called big tuning companies use his parts/services and put there stamp on and doudle the price.
