Good work dude, get my cv joint price txt.

Just sat and read this mate. Can't believe I hadn't seen it before.

Awesome work as usual, and great to see CG's shell being given a new lease of life after how much graft he put into saving it!

You have some handy toys to play with. lol :thumb:

Thanks boys

Benn - yer i did i'm waiting for my shafts from Let nova to turn up before i know which ones i actually need then i will let you know

L14MNP - the toys are very handy indeed

So will you be offering mail order cleaning service then for my rebuild parts! Looking good, get plenty pics of the epas being fitted as ive got the gear here to do mine!

If you want bits cleaned then i work for Lolly pops ;) lol

he has a trooper turbo which he was going to try but gonna wait and see what you do first. for now hes gonna get another head which i can work me magic on :d

Thanks for those burgo i will be interested to find out what power he makes, i would like to see the 120bhp mark but we will see lol

I'm also after trying something different with the clutch and flywheel - do you have any idea which fly baxter used on his td?

baxter used the 1.5td one i believe so he could keep the small block shafts and hubs.

I asked my brother about his clutch aswell and his is standard but apparently when thrashing it it does slip. so i can see you having issues. only thing i can think is measure the friction plate and then get an uprated petrol one thats a similar size

The clutch on my astra slipped a bit too, it wasnt exactly brand new though.
