Re: Yolo the story so far
Some of them are fine but I damaged some of the threads trying to separate the nut and stud so needs some replacements.
Do I need threadlock when reinstalling?
What torque or is it a case of tight enough as I’m conscious of the aluminium head….

Re: Yolo the story so far
More rookie questions, is this new stud ok? A little shorter than original and I am assuming it’s the short end into the head. New stud top and original bottom

Re: Yolo the story so far
Progress is slow as normal with me but a little bit more done today. Bumper off as I couldn’t get bolts out to set the intercooler. That then turned into a faf with some bolts deciding not to cooperate. Grinder time…. AAEB2901-3A26-4908-967E-CE848F6310EE.jpeg I also managed to to get the bolts off t...

Re: Yolo the story so far
As part of the maintenance I’ve bought a rear seal, spigot bearing, release bearing and crush washers. There was signs of oil so just being cautious as I’m not sure if it’s from somewhere else but as I’m under there and I’m covering all bases. Can you think of anything else? Does the PPF need to com...

Re: Yolo the story so far
Time for an update, the car hasn’t had a lot of use this year but it has had a clear mot and a few runs out. Currently back on stands as I’m going turbo. I know most here are just for maintaining and driving them but I’ve been thinking about this for a while and this year I have the chance so have b...

Re: Non standard air intake - air filter???
That looks like a lovely piece of kit. Should you ever consider parting with it or the car I’d be happy to take it off you hands.
I was looking at cold air setup but mixed reviews all round, happy to take recommendations.

Re: Yolo the story so far
Took the car out for a good run this weekend, it’s been far too long coming. Love it, such a raw driving experience and it keeps you awake with the iffy tyres.... need to replace those. They are good in the dry but in the wet they are way to loose any suggestions welcome. Had the car looked over by ...
