  1. Not sure to be honest. Not oil as they are standalone. May have ingested something but can't see what if it did. Just *bleep* luck I think
  2. 300miles and one dead supercharger!! Seized solid on quick run to Richards, thought my car had caught fire at one point the amount of smoke that came out of the engine bay, thankfully it was just the belt burning and snapping. Talk about *bleep* off!!!
  3. Got a zetec standard tb here you can have if you want it. Not sure if it's a 2.0l or 1.8l
  4. I've been buying loads of bits from both sites. For a while now, all my type 9 v6 upgrade gearbox parts came from bearing kits
  5. As one of my many winter upgrades, I decided to buy a rose jointed quick shift gear lever from Matt lewis racing, to replace the standard cut down sierra one. It improved the shifts nicely but still had a little slop so I just fitted a brass gearstick saddle from bearing kits, I now have a gear shift with no play at all. Great cheap little mod. The other thing I have gone away from is short little gearsticks back to full height with a bit of weight on the end it makes the shifts so much easier and as a result of easier quicker....
  6. Just fitted a quaife atb differential to my English axle in the stylus, I read they were good and after a few miles of playing I can say for certain that they are good, really good.. with all the new found power when accelerating in a straight line the car was stepping out sideways if you didn't feed things in gently, now mash the throttle and it squats, wheelspins a bit and flies to the horizon at a rapid rate completely straight line and quicker than it was due to more traction.... the diff cost £536 a further £125 to have it fitted and completely refurbished with new bearings. Fitting the quaife atb is the finally to my winter summer autumn mods.
  7. Taking an engine out of whiz.s car
  8. Anyone know of a company that could fit my quaife atb diff? English axle. In the Midlands area? Arrow engineering in Chesterfield is near Impossible to get hold of...
  9. http://r.ebay.com/eRfJO2I've fitted this to the stylus the cooling ability of it is phenomenal. I have trouble getting up to temp now where as before it was marginal cooling. They come in 4core as well without the intercooler. Coolex will also modify to suit your needs. Worth a call....

  19. Don't vent cap and crankcase into same tank, you could end up with problems. Vent the cap to atmosphere, if you don't like the smell drop a pipe down from the cap to Vent fumes away from your nose
