myofficefriend.com seems pretty new, everyone post thier own pictures. :wack: :Plug:

Hey Matt, I spotted you on Tuesday - although it was while driving past your house ;). Not seen your wheels before. It looks gorgueous mate. Damn site better than mine is fairing right now :(

You...

Thanks steve, that guy got back to me really quickly.

Now can someone (steve ;)) explain to me about compression ratios?

Would I be better getting std comp, or going lower? If I go with 8:1...

Cool, I'm going over to the states in 2 weeks time. I've email the guy.

Did they come with rings? or will I have to get them seperately?

Well, would have done but your PM box is full. How cheap are you talking about with the forged pistons?

Matt_S pm'd ya

Hmm....

I know barry made 350 on that Turbo, but I was wondering about how long it would last at that high psi. I think barry was running 1.5 bar! (correct me if I'm wrong) I just don't want to...

Tried to PM you back, but your box is full (ooh err!).

Very interested in the offer... What price are you looking for?

I've finally managed to get storage sorted for the rest of the car while I re-build the engine.

Its gonna be out of the car, on a frame in the shed, so I can work on it easier.

My plans where,...

At the minute I have no idea. It's gonna depend on how soon I can afford the stuff....

I've managed to get a couple of places now pretty cheap. I can rent a garage close to me for £5 a week.

PM'd ya back.

Cool, I'll give them a call tomorrow.

The only good thing to come out of this is that I'm aiming for 400+ once its rebuilt :)

And I wasn't even going to mod it before I bought it :D

Ok, after having a few problems with the car and other circumstances I'm forced into getting another car...

But I don't have to sell the 200... Yay :D Just take it off the road for a while :(
...

I've managed to get 6 people in once!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

I'm just glad I was driving, cos it looked a bit tight there in the back ;)

:D LOL

Its a mech gauge so got a pipe plumbed in the same place as the std pressure switch for the light on the dash. Got a T with one side going to the original switch and the other to the gauge.

I've...

Tried that this afternoon there was a little bit of pressure, not a huge amount, but it was definitley there.

I'll do a compression test as soon as I get some equipment.

My problems are getting worse :(

Does anyone, have any idea what might be causing this?

My car is using a fair amount of oil. I changed it 1500 miles ago, topped up with 1 litre cans twice,...

Same here, dunno whats wrong with mine. Its about to go into storage for a while I think, while I rebuild the engine out of the car.

Joy, months of driving around in an astra diesel :(

very nice :)

Sounds like Jacksons of Old Arley. Just round the corner from me, great camping shop.

I got a problem last weekend. Went to the RR day and on the way home, booted it away from Jacko at some lights....

Big cloud of smoke behind me, although could really tell if it was blue or white....

or overheat :rolleyes: :(

LOL :D

Kev, cheers for the back up mate, but I think it would be best just to drop it now. It really isn't worth bringing the good name of the SXOC board down. I'm sure its probably just a misunderstanding...
