Fitted my 16x7.5 momo x1's yesterday. The ride feels so much better now, steering is heavier n less twitchy than before. There a little close to the legal limit width wise but i think they will be ok. Excuse the greasy hand prints lol. Also fitted the modified induction pipe properly today...

Aah well, nevermind. Itll still get done one way or another. :) plus if the heads gotta come off anyway I may as well use it as an excuse to get some head work done at the same time lol

Fitted a modified intake pipe from a pre face (removed revurb pipe). Discoverd the reason my wipers some times park to high is cuz im missing one mounting bolt/rubber! Also fitted my aloys. 16x7.5 momo x1's with 205/45/16 pirellis. Supprised but they dont rub at all and handles amazingly. Slight...

I think there the same, not 100 % sure tho. Frank could probly tell ya

Spent two hours yesterday trying to remove a tail pipe from the scrappie. Gave up n got them to do it lol. Gunna use it for a backbox delete so I can keep the original bracketry and put the oriiginal on if I ever sell up as its almost mint. Also got a spare air intake pipe to modify and a spare...

Id love to hear it in person :)

That sounds awesome mate :)

Awesome. I love the idea of a 1l turbo. Shame dont have vvt, ford are claiming about 115bhp and 40mpg with a 1l vvt turbo focus. Those figures would be lovely in our cars :)

Awesome mate, have to get a video up. Would love to hear it :) what managment you using?

No intercooler frank?

Cool cool. Migh hav to get a donor engine then. I know separating them is a pain. Will drill some holes in my piston jig to remove the gudgeon pins

How much should I be lookin at pal?

Il do it which ever way is easiest at the time. Deffo gotta be done. You know what ball park I shoud be looking at for the crank, rods n piston. Been offered the crank alone for 120 at local scrappie? Bout right price?

Little more than id thought for. Might have to find a crane for a while.

Nice one mate. New youd appear with the answer I need. So plan of action would be to remove the head, sump n timing cover, split the gearbox, drop the crank, lift out pistons n rods. 1l pistons on 1.3 rods. Pistons back in, 1.3 crank in. Set timing. Finish remainder in reverse of previous?

would 1l piston n rod be to much compression on the 1.3 crank then frank?

Like I say I dont want them to come right out. Just needs to be far enough to unbolt the rods from the crank

I wanna use the original pistons n rods. Just need to drop the out far enough to unbolt them from the crank

I use a little jig that wraps around the piston n rings. Slide down the piston carefuly as you insert into the bores. Rings stay in place perfectly aslong as you lube everythin up well enough. Lil tip from workin on fiddly 2 stroke motorbikes. Comes apart aswell if ya need. Although id like to...

Hey guys, just wondered if you thought it would be possible to change the cams then drop off the sump, split the gearbox off n drop the crank, Rods n pistons out the bottom. Put pistons n rods on to the 1.3 crank n reassemble in reverse. reason for asking is I dont have a crane n no way of...
