Glad to hear she's back on the road bud and been revitalised :D

Message to Merc (being it was mentioned here) Afraid I sold my WW rear lip to Knightmare soon after I bought the kit. But I have a feeling he had mentioned selling it on again for whatever reason, so you could give him a shout.

Nice one Nick. You forgot to mention the OCD cleaning of every removed component and the sheer volume of carb cleaner involved :lol:

hahaha - yeah well i like carb cleaner :P great stuff

Sorry I would have taken more pics of work in progress but i have to work on my car out in the street and most of the time late in the day in fading light and bad weather. Graham will confirm that everytime we tried to do the cambelt the weather turned against us and the rain came down-trying to work on the engine in these conditions was near to impossible.

Here are some of the items ive fitted recently

cheers buddy :D

still got one seal - part no.91233-PT0-003 - think its the balancer shaft seal - didnt need replaced so i didnt use it so its up for grabs free of charge - let me know if its any good to you and i will bring it with me next weekend.

Should have the spoon V2 chip fitted by Monday - car feels good as it is so really should shift along nicely once its in place. Just need to get the intermittent brake pedal creep sorted - guess thats a priority now :roll: :)
