I'm really not keen on the amber look :S was just gonna do them the same as indicators
currently doing side repeaters as we speak

Rear lights done ready to go on in the morning

Lol Taa! waiting to find the right engine for her, probably gonna be getting an engine in the new year aswell as coilovers

Them lights are too black imo

Rear lights on at MI silverstone meet time to try and find an engine now!

Had a problem today, induction kit was rubbing on cylinder 4 HT lead and caused it to misfire, so I've replaced all 4 HT leads and a coil pack. This is my solution to stop the rubbing, good old cable ties!

Today I fitted the strut brace, made a huge difference in my opinion especially when close to the limit!

They definatly do don't they I've got three of them and they made a huge difference to mine. Deffinatly worth the dollar IMO

I couldn't agree more gadge! Hopefully I will have an engine in and ready by July! I'm driving to snowdonia and need a bit more oomph.

Not updated in a while
Yesterday I bought a 1.2 16v bottom end off Cento186 with intensions to use block and pistons on an 8v ready for a turbo!

Anyone know which crank I need to use and if I need the 16v rods aswell as the pistons?

Matt

Things I know:

-8v rods are stronger, 16v rods are lighter. Common sense says stronger is better. But you can't mix n' match as the wrist pins are different sizes between the 8v & 16v pistons.

-16v pistons lower the compression in an 8v, ideal for a turbo.

-I think the cranks are the same (don't quote me on that)

Ok I think I'll use the 16v rods as want a lower compression for the turbo
Had a look on the internet and looks like both have same stroke which leads me to believe they are the same crank?

either crank, the 16v rods and pistons, 8v head. jobs a good'un

So really all I need is a 8v head and a turbo and I'm pretty much done?

yeah, and the rest lol.

Well yeh lol. I've got a plan coming along!

Mechanicals are the easy bit IMO, fuelling and engine management are the tricky parts.

I couldn't agree more tbh, electrics are my downfall :S good job my best mate works as a electrician for JLR

Does the 8v head matches the 16v block ? Like oil feed, dowel etc ?
