  1. cheers buddy but too far away....plus the rest of the suspension is gone just subframe left. appreciate the offer though Could easily get something under it, some kind of small frame trailer or something.....
  2. thanks, don't care about the bottom of the shell, as it's going to be scrapped, will keep looking for transporters that can winch it on then. thanks for info on dollies
  3. Ok, need some advice if anyone has any Struggling to find a transporter who can shift a car shell with no wheels. It's a gt4 shell, has axles and hubs but no suspension. If it had suspension I would wack some wheels on. I do have st202 struts and springs. I could put on, but that's not going to bolt up to the gt4 except the top. Guessing that's not going to support the car to wheel it (especially 4 wheel drive). Any thoughts ? Rent some dollies to push it on ? Need to get it from aldershot to beks near Portsmouth.
  4. what about getting a 3-d printer to print one out?!
  5. I know hopefully all the respective parts have gone to grateful homes, I know the engine sure as hell is !
  6. my original thought, as would be flexible.....maybe not strong enough. lumo green springs ? errr........
  7. Yeah, just thinking pre: getting them wandering if it would be flexible enough, will see what state they are in anyway....
  8. If you needed to smarten up some springs/paint them to stop rust, what would you use ? I would have thought normal paint would flake off under movement ? What about plasti-coat/dip stuff ?
  9. Thanks, read through the line as well, and makes much more sense, the two effectivelly switch. Found it quite interesting about setting up vacuum pumps/using exhaust as a vacuum to pull away the gasses. Not that I will do either. cheers guys
  10. the manifold gets oily whereas the breather pipe seems ok, only a drop of oil caught. I think two makes more sense....
  11. Thanks It is...kinda.....as it shows the catch can between the valve cover and the crank case, with a second pipe to the intake "boot", whereas mine is on the pipe to the intake "boot" as there is no external connection between valve cover and crank case to put the catch can. Maybe it's just not appropriate ? EDIT: actually, that is just an internal things isn't it. However, will read those links, thanks for the help
  12. Ok, not sure if I have completely misunderstood PCV.... On my 3sfe I have a connection from the valve cover to the manifold. Now, under vacuum this sucks the air out of the crankcase into the manifold to be burnt up again, yes? So I have a one way valve on this so under boost conditions, as the manifold is positive, it stops pressurising the crankcase. And I also have a breather tube, from again the valve cover, that connects to the air box. This now connects to the cone filter piping before the turbo. Now..I have an oil catch can, but I have put this on the breather tube. That doesn't sound right reading what I have written, shouldn't it be put between the valve cover and manifold ? The breather tube....under vacuum it pushes out air. so connected to pre throttle, that is just going to increase the amount of "suction" and pull more air out of the crankcase. So in boost situations this is now pulling out air and stopping over pressurisation. So reading THAT, I should out the catch can here. Ugghhh. What I am being to dense to understand here! 2 catch cans ? Breather just out to a mini filter ? Breather supplies fresh air which is then sucked out by the manifold valve...if so why does it puff out air when idling rather than drawing air in? someone put me out of my misery. It all works, but my catch can is arse-about-face?
  13. cheers guys yeah, that's the issue at the moment, as downpipe is now on the drivers side after turbo conversion, sensor wire comes from passenger so stretching dangerously close! Cool, will sort that out in the dark this week can't wait for it to be light after work!
  14. About to cut and extend my o2 wire due to where it changed to the wire was never long enough really, was just going to use the usual wire, before so, nothing special about the wire is there ?? Not sure why I think there might be but worth a 2 second question
  15. Still concerned tbh. I was very annoyed when I saw that. Yup, stupid of me really. Starting to prep my unsold backup turbo in case!
  16. look like the same type as mine.....learnt my lesson anyway!
  17. yeah...better than OEM my wing nut!!
  18. the reason my exhaust manifold and turbo leaked errr........
  19. think it would look pretty cool but then I am not a "keep it original" aficionado
  20. It's aftermarket lines, t off from oil pressure switch for feed, with original lines for return (as have st185 pan) - bought a after market line kit a while ago (over a year!), and as current effort is leaking thought I may as well replace it all. They are all either AN fittings or NPT, except the t piece and original oil switch which have a bspt. Thanks for the info
