  1. This an issue, the bores wear and become elliptical, also bore scoring, ims and rms, water pump, chains and tensioners etc He has addressed the common issues during the rebuild Hartech are probably the best respected porsche Indy in the country and that work will have cost an arm and a leg
  2. Not my cup of tea mate (not that that matters) but I admire you're shepherd and not a sheep
  3. For every stupid comment (which are generally out of jealousy or ignorance) you get 20 good comments so it's not worth sweating over

    Sounds any drone at motorway speeds ?
  5. Looks stunning, the stance is spot on You are relentless
  6. Yeah You would imagine the same thing has happened to someone
  7. Cheers Mark, can't say I've noticed it on the 70 but good to know Is this some sort precursor to the synchro rev ?
  8. Ark looks And I've only just noticed you're bulge Always suprises me the difference a bulge makes Willy did a good job on you're bulge How does it sound ?
  9. Wash it as it rains, the dirt is not stuck to the car and you don't have to rinse it Neighbours will think you've lost the plot
  10. no problem, good luck
  11. Thanks for quick reply mate No they are no lights on dash and when engine is started and runing while car is standing it sounds all normal I will try the reset in the morning and if it dosnt work i will make a new thread for this, Do you think its worth making a youtube video and putting the link to that in the new thread? I dont think so, you're explanation of the revs being slow to fall is good enough
  12. Not normal, try the accelerator release position learning on here ..., http://www.350z-uk.c...e-valve-resets/ any eml lights showing ? I would start a new thread for this as you will get a better response
  13. not a big fan of autoglym but at that price it would be rude not to
  14. I think the thread title should be "return to standard" rather than breaking as you want standard exchange parts good luck, it's a shame considering the work that has gone into the mods
  15. Ha take no notice of what people say, I don't even read the posts but advise a compression test or a window motor
  16. I imagine there is a chance that the wheel will not bolt on centred to the hub with that damage The crack isn't the issue, the wheel mount being eccentric is
  17. even though you are wherever you are by now, you still picked up on that Reserve or click and buy
  18. Always a good feeling.
  19. Hmm, ok, a few people have said about it being on the outside.. it just looks so insidey and you can't feel it on the outside :/ Maybe I'll try some random headlight restorer from halfrauds first.. need to go there tonight anyway. Cheers Because the headlights are plastic, the UV makes them go cloudy, it's the same as say a slide in the garden, the colour will fade, but it will feel the same. A gentle cutting compound will remove basically a tiny layer of the plastic, buffing the haze out. You want something very gentle so that you don't actually scratch the plastic. Some headlight restoring kits have lots of steps including sand paper of various grades. What you want is something like t-cut if you have it, t-cut is very harsh though, so I wouldn't really recommend that Ok mate, I'll see what they have to offer was just looking at a maguiars product, had 5 star reviews, everyone saying their car failed MOT and they'd been quoted £XXX to replace headlights and this cost £15 and now they look new, etc... Have a look at the MAG Headlight Restorer I just posted.... :scare: £10.95 on ebay
  20. Although polycarbonate is a very hard plastic, it is very porous. While there are many advantages to using polycarbonate, one major drawback is that over time oxidation can change the physical properties of the headlight lens surface. The lenses have a factory applied UV resistant .03 mil thick silicone coating to help protect and preserve the porousplastic from the environment. Once this protective barrier weakens and wears, the lenses are exposed to many elements. Daily exposure to the sun's harsh UV rays is the biggest contributor to the deterioration (oxidation) and discoloring of the polycarbonate lens surface. However, UV rays and heat from the sun isn't the only culprit; intense heat from the halogen bulb also has a negative effect over time...as does acid rain, humidity, insects, road debris, chemicals, vehicle exhaust, and car wash brushes.
