  1. Thanks Just hardish road nothing to extreme. how deep pockets?
  2. Will try the carbon tech before I can recommend any pads front. Where are you going to drive the z?
  3. hope you get better soon! After the wash and boosted start hook one of these up to the battery: and get one of these to cover the car up with:
  4. I got one it's in the thread somewhere
  5. When's your renewal of the insurance? If for some reason they cannot claim it back before renewal it might hit you... was warned and rightly so in the past
  6. Think I should actually do to put others off doing it themselves... not sure I'm liking my custom exhaust so much anymore since it's caused headache getting that diff out.

    where did you do your mechanical training? Nigeria?
  8. what the diff looks like inside? It's all good experience, at least it won't cost that much to get the bearings and ring over to the Quaife diff get it checked properly runout, drive pionion and tooth contact (was a bit worried about that) and closed up ready for me to put back under the car... I'm going to put a guide together or a thread or something to try and put light on the difficulties in doing this job and to have the correct tool list AND part list prior to starting off the project. The DIY bonkers stuff I read isn't very good or accurate and the FSM isn't detailed enough on 'how' to get some things done. Leason learnt hey
  9. Think I've come to a game over area anyway, looking like I don't have the required stuff for the LSD going in so it's down to hand this box with toys over to a garage I think much to the gf delight and my wallet's dissmay
  10. DIFF = 1 ANDLID = 1 Looks like the little ring was bent out a bit and stopped it getting wacked out, used a screw driver around the edges and slowly tried to pry it out thanks for the tips Greekman and ZmanAlex!

    Engine swap

    maybe OP blew the engine though so 24 man hours to swap... pmmmm that's a lot of monies in cost for soft services.. If you can do a diff swop out mate then you will manage this no problem Anders. So in your case labour will be free there is NO WAY that I'll try an engine swap out! Also... I got hung on the diff swap so far anyway! maybe OP blew the engine though so 24 man hours to swap... pmmmm that's a lot of monies in cost for soft services.. If you can do a diff swop out mate then you will manage this no problem Anders. So in your case labour will be free If he can find the right tools! Engine hoist? Nooooooooooooooooooo - Anders will use a box of matches, string and duct tape. To be sure, to be sure! You'll like this one:

    where is the op input???
  14. `welcome, like the z very clean looking. did you get the uprev tune while down in abbey?
  15. Ah yeah, I wouldn't start putting my own safety on the line for any mech work.. The answer to that would be flat no unless I drive down to a mates place... insurance would put anyone off.

    Surely the cost would outweigh the benifits here? Whats your options? * keep the 276hp engine and mod it up to 310 * put a super carger onto the engine keeping standard internals 380ish * put a super charger / turbo onto the engine changing the standard internal and aim for the stars * swap out the engine to a HR one and get 313 On paper I know what I would do... but cost, time, insurance etc would probably change it... The Q to ask and answer really is this >>> What do you want to get out of this? One thing to remember, I didn't get modding to save money or expect to get any of it back if I sell up...the more mods going in though the less likely that I'll sell in the first place
  17. Got to give a +1 on this to be honest mate......you are a bit of legend for trying. Might be worth cracking the wd40 out and having another crack in the morning. w40 will do sweet all... this item lives in oil have a few options opened to me thanks for some of the input... :-)
  18. actually would not do electrics or vinyl stuff... prefer a spanner any day its not that hard... rather ask then... say crack a plenum or something lol

    Forge the engine and put FI in her...10k lakes and your laughi!
  21. mine isn't a LSD though, guess it's the same axle type though...only thing I can think of then is that the clip has got stuck somehow... will for sure have another look before hardest part was to actually get it out, it was 'easy' sailing from here... not to be! Oh and to get the f*cker back in will be an interesting task!
