i dont quite understand matt?
Bought = purchased , I bought a new pair of shoes today
Brought = fetched along , I brought my new shoes with me today.
Built not bought. ( built by me , not purchased as a complete all singing all dancing lump )
Oh, i see, lol, well thats going to have to come straight off, how fecking terrible is that, i PURCHASED that from the dubs show at weston park earlier in the year and it did cross my mind about the spelling but i thought 'na, a company wouldnt make a fuc4 up like that'. Thanks for spotting that chaps, i only put it on tonight so it saves me driving round looking like a ****.
Wheels look familiarI had a set like that. I think they went to ron in leicester. Maybe they went somewhere else after him
The wheels came off delivish dave scoff, think hes from blackpool way, Ive had them about a year now.Wheels look familiar
Yep Chris they are your old wheels.
Ah did I sell them to dave ? It was a few years agoYep Chris they are your old wheels.
Dave bought them from Dave up On walney island so I guess you sold them to that Dave?Ah did I sell them to dave ? It was a few years ago
They are great wheels, looked awesome on a black 5, realy set it off.
nice to see another. couple of bits i'd change besides the dv tho as it will have to come off otherwise it will stutter on gearchange with good boost. where's the header tank top hose go to? wants to be off the top port at back of head if it isn't. also that valve you've used on the 20mm ish hose off the back of the manifold, is it the one between carb top and exhaust elbow on a gtt? is that to the brake servo? if so it won't work and you need the one way valve on the end of the servo pipe that screws in the o/s on the gtt inlet manifold
Hi haz,
yes the top pipe off the header tank goes to the top port at the back off the head, i had to modify that port as im using the t28 as port originally got in the way.
i cant remember where exactly i got the one way valve from and yes your right it goes to the brake servo, its piped so it allows you to suck air out of the servo but not able to blow which i thought was correct?
Yes the car is up and running and quite nicely to be honest, i have had it on the road with this setup and the brakes were spot on and the water temps were also fine, i know the pics are crap but would you advise me changing that valve??

Looks brilliant, wheels are fantastic
Wheels look familiar
No it wasnt me Scoff. I think hastled you for ages about them! Always liked those wheels
just couldn't make it all out in the pics so thought i'd mention just in case.
header tank hose on top port makes its a self bleed system so long as tank port is higher. yeah i'd change the valve tho, they fail as they aren't for the pressure of the brake servo, they're to do with exhaust pressure, possibly for two port actuators?? i forget what they are for, but swap for the original one.
