    Yeah not a headgasket mate otherwise it would be coming out the exhaust not the back of the engine, it will just be burning oil
  2. Ant Baker
    Haha when you look at it that way it seems quite steep but then again 10bhp isnt to be mocked tbh
  3. Ant Baker
    Seems a reasonable price...£100/BHP....

    Haha yeah i know you did mate, dubs will be dubs!!! Tbh it is a good idea but i dont think it is feasable i mean if you were to knock up a 'pump' you would just be talking about a supercharger but in smaller measures and less power...unfortunately without the pressure to force it through the system i think you will cause more problems due to intake air flow...closest i believe you will get on an N/A engine is a cold air intake taken from the fog light housing on the bumper

    I believe dubs was sarcastically describing a turbo charger...

    Usually on bare metal you would use an etch primer to help it adhere to the metal... So etch primer Primer Base Clear

    Yeah they really dont care...failing that you can always put it in gear...lift the clutch and turn it on the starter...that will allow you to move the car even if the engine wont start

    Ok well by the sound of it cheap doesnt mean awful when it comes to sandblasting Cheers guys
  12. Ant Baker
    So i am looking to refurb my alloys and though it might be wise to get a sandblaster to make the job easier. 1. Do i really need one? 2. I was looking at this http://bit.ly/NUJGxq I have an air compressor and was just wondering if anyone has had any experience of this or a similar item? Cheers

    Spot on mate
  14. Ant Baker

  15. Ant Baker

    Yep i was at toyota the other day, can only buy the arms with the bushes in and at £135 an arm i should go down to the breakers haha

    Haha yeah they are nice....porsche actually use the same system but it is throttle regulated (foot to floor = silencer bypass) but i digress haha back on topic now....bloody police!!!

    Did someone watch top gear last night?
  22. Ant Baker
    Wow...my wheels nuts are 100NM and a little 13mm bolt is not gonna have 75nm on it...or i would be very surprised if it did....ford have 28NM for caliper bolts
  23. Ant Baker
    Precisely i use a torque wrench for everything that i can find a torque figure for but when i cant...tight and some loctite
  24. Ant Baker
    Funny you should have this happen as i was walking back to my old ST after work one night and noticed the caliper didnt looks right and the upper bolt had dropped out down the road...now i loctite all of my brake caliper mounting bolts so i know they wont fall out
  25. Ant Baker
    Yeah unless the head of the bolt is nearly all rust then a CORRECT SIZE 6 point socket will nearly always work as the surface area connecting the socket and the head is far greater as apposed to relying on just the corners of a head which can easily be rounded off even on new bolts haha I would definitely reccomend a set if you are working on an old car haha
