Come iiiinnnnnnnn spiner, this thread is full of some much s**t it needs to be pumped out and disenfected. Kenay your attacks on Arm are unjustified and you continue to prove this evry time you type something, crawl back under the rock you came from and get on with life. I've seen lesser threads blocked. Hint Hint.

anyways back on topic
today i have spent hours talking to Brendan Mock he has told me to get a new head*GREAT*
so i spent the remainding hours of the day searching for a replacement tickford head but no luck
Mock has suggested i buy
Used head with all rocker assembly coz mine is cracked
new h/d springs
and maybe reco depending on head

as far as i can see im in for a bit of money but it happens so life goes on

I said earlier about the rear seats being built this week unfortunatly tim@sewfine interiors is swamped with other work so i'll have to wait
oh and my fibreglass front has cracked around the side looks like its been hit but could just happen with fibreglass i really dont know
so the standard front is back on until i can find someone to repair it


Funny, from wht I can read, only the stuff on the car that YOU have f**k with in some way is what has failed............

Well congratulation f**k yes the fibreglass front i installed did break and i have just publicly said that!
wasnt everyone telling me to build a bridge and get on with it or do you have nothing better to do than stir the pot?

is the fishing good today 67RCE?


Mate, any better and I'd be a running my own trawler!

Anyone remember 'altedxr6' and his quality of work - you would definitely need to remove all his mods.
It's a shame RPD was associated with him.

I think this thread needs to be locked, getting out of control and pointless

Doesn't need to be locked.

Things have been said, things have been resolved... It can be dropped now and we all move on.

There we go, said and done! :D

Interesting read!
Having known Adrian for some time, and knowing how anal & fastidious he is i have no problems in standing behind any work he has done!

Kenay your treatment of previous vehicles also does not lend its hand to help with your story.

In saying that though - it sounds like an unfortunate situation that is all too common in ANY modified vehicle, wether it be modified by a mechanic or a back yarder that knows what they are doing. It's all part and parcel with deviating from the way its engineered to operate as it rolls out the factory!

Kenay - what happened to the V8 you were going to put in?

yes as adrian said is all dealt with now and i have apalagised to adrian for my personall attacks

V8 yes well i have been saving for the conversion but unfortunatly not saving enough.. it sucks becuase it is the perfect excuse to do the conversion now but i would be homeless if i did
besides all that im actually in need of a bigger car due to work so im looking at tacking this back to stock and getting either a wagon or suv

Yes,remember seeing Wicksy's clutch setup, and Voxace's too for that matter.
Bit too much going on to not point the finger at workmanship in that case - plus Antony disappearing and not returning calls.

ok so yesterday i went and picked up the new motor from john(effalcon) thanks mate, as it turns out the motor has a hybrid block with au tickford head :D :D :D
anyways an hour later i got home and my self and jamie(efgreenweapon on here mintxr on aff) got started pulling the old motor out no problems in the world, then we swapped the bearing in the back off the block and on went the flywheel and clutch, motor and box went back in no problems everything hooked up :D ..
fired first go idle'd beautifully no hunting at all thank god jamie took it for a quick spin and got back with a huge smile on his face "your turn" he says lol instantly it felt better without even needing to move the car, you now dont need to ride the clutch when taking off no ticking just pure injector noise and i goes through the rev range nice and easy
what a shame im not keeping the car now oh well the next person can enjoy it
