See what you mean dude, that clutch does look worn, must of been slipping with nearly 200hp through a bog GM clutch plate! lol
Yep time for a new clutch:d Sent the guy at autosprint an email to see how much the fly lightening is going to cost aswell
Right went up to Autosprint on friday to have my flywheel lightened, i would like to say what a brillant service he offers i would reccomend him to anyone top bloke!

Is it coming together or are you still welding??
Tiny bit of welding to do now! Got to order my new clutch this week then i should have the engine back in :thumb:
Dude the Fly wheel looks spot on!
Did you ask about the Kent cam?
I'll have to get mine up to him at some point and get some work done to my engine, then it will be mapped and finally start to be quick! lol
Yeah spoke to him about the cam he said i should be fine to use it, will take it up there when the car is on the road:thumb:Quote:

What you going to do about the offside mount?
Box section it?
looks good seeing the engine in place after all the hard work, btw isn't your rocker cover on the wrong way?
Well spottedlol but its just placed on at the mo:thumb:
As for the offside mount i have spaced it down at the mo with to tubes that the bolts go through but my dad works at an aerospace company so im getting some billet aluinium to space it down to the correct height:d
Dude just found these pics for you...

There's a Nova SR local to me that's an H reg and also ends in DAE
Nice looking car you have there fella :thumb:
In fact i think we moved it that way round, look in above pic, it was so the catch tank had less messy pipe length all over the bay. :thumb:Quote:

And fitted in place, also just trial fitted my intercooler
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...g?t=1258304585
Also i fitted my new drivers side window ive been meaning to do this job for ages and after all the rain we had this weekend i thought was about time so i hooked a 12v battery up to the electric window motor and dropped the arm then took all the trim off and fitted the window! Didnt get chance to take any pics of it finished as just as i had finished it decided to rain:cry:
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...g?t=1258304970
At least it didn't start to rain during fitting! Not seen this WIP before, engine looks very impressive.
Iain, it is one very impressive engine, use to belong to Nova Neil in his red GTE, i know with the new plans this car will be almost, if not quicker then mine..
Yeah suppose it could have been worse! Perfect timing:dQuote:

Also got sick of buying car covers only for them to rip from the wind, the last one i bought from argos was a glorified bin bag and ripped in half in a week so got my brother to sort me out some taupalin from his work £5 and its perfect for over the winter
http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/j...g?t=1260129756
lol I bought one of those shltty argos ones and most of the cover ripped off except for the elastic round the bottom lol
Nice to see an update :thumb:
Exactly what happened to mine £15 waste of money:cry:Quote:

Any more thoughts on the SR wheel?
Scott
Looking very good! Few questions....
1. What did you use to remove the sealer? Undersealer?
2. What seam sealer did you use?
3. How did you get your springs so nice?
4. What paint did you use for the misc items?
Just in case mike's not on here soon..
If im wrong mike will say other wise.Quote:
