My reasoning for using blues over creams, four holes similar to let yellows, as opposed to single hole on creams

Back of empty head, new gasket

Bodies on... ish

linkage bracket fouls on the alternator, which doesn't allow inlet to sit against head so gotta think of a new way of mounting it - strange?!

Came in after that, due to loads of faffing, will sort it out - remove rest of old loom, install new loom and ecu - and get her ticking over tomorrow with any luck :)
that im sure will sound crazy .....
great read this thread cheers ....:)
YEAH BABY! lol
I hate the black paint around my heater matrix, looks sooooo crap, just not sure what to do with it
The only thing I can think of, is paint the "hole" bit black, behind where the firewall should be
i personally would say it would look better if the matrix was moved and area sprayed to match the bay ??Quote:

can you not lower the alt, as in T40 application on small blocks?
olly, i was just thinkin, with respect to people fitting electronic speedo f28 boxes into astras etc, could the speedo switch you've got give a reading on the electronic calibra clocks. but i guess you need the speedo unit you've got to calibrate it all.
Went down to Mardi Gras Motorsport today to buy new clutch, they had it in stock on the shelf which was handy - fantastic service too
Helix boxes & part numbers should anyone else need them

Helix Sprung 4 Paddle Friction Plate, Helix Uprated Heavy Duty Pressure Plate & CRB

Another thing to fit before 27th lol
being sprung that clutch should be less harsh than a fixed plate?
