Looks nice mate. What make of carb lobster is that ???? Never seen one like it ??
Also, get yourself a thermostat in the top rad hose
Nice car, shame about the camera.
not sure what sort of lobster it is as it was on when i got the car and was also on before the previous owner had it, i was told it has a low temp thermostat fitted ?Originally Posted by Kris M

lol pics have been taken in pretty shabby conditions/light and taken on my phone
Look at this pic, https://www.rtoc.org/boards/album.php...pictureid=6108
you should have another jubilee clip just in from the end of the top rad hose, secures the thermostat inside the hose. You might have a stat in there but without a jubilee clip they have a habit of getting pushed further down the top rad hose and getting stuck !
Youl be able to feel if theres a stat in there or not
It looks like a snake thats eaten a tennis ball when that happens
lol i will check that out then iv got a few jubilee clips about anyway
cars going back into GT Motorsport this friday to get a new sump fitted along with all required gaskets from cgb

is it only me that cant see your latest pics dude?
hmmm for some reason they have been deleted they were on tho ?? any mods shine any light on this ?
iv stuck em back in now dunno if they will be deleted again
nice car m8
if i was you my first job would be to relocate that big blue air filter , its only sucking hot air there ,will defo have a negative affect on what power your 5 makes .
how can i relocate the filter fella ? i know if i had a fmic then its an easy job to stick it where the old i/c was
easiest way for you would be to fit the oe air box back in , or if your feeling up to the task relocate the water bottle up behind the firewal/scuttle
hmm this is something ill have to look into for surei could poss be getting a fmic in the summer so that could be prob solved, what sort of pipe would i need to get it fit where the old ic was ?
You can also fit your Gt tuning filter back into the oe air box as it's supposed to fit. Or you could move your header tank behind the drivers side headlight, if you chop a few hoses.
just been to pick up the louvered bonnet up off allan 100 this will be going on my car in the new year

cheers pal
is it worth fitting this whilst i have my standard t2 on or is it a bit pointless on that turbo ?
It will make a difference actually even on the smaller t2 but if you doing it soon, putting the other turbo on that is...id wait..cheers pal

yeah should be nice once all done not sure on what power it will make and tbh im not exactly a figure chaser im more into how good it drives and on road manners than saying my car has x amount of power but drives like poop lol
iv been keeping an eye on nat day on the forum but nothing confirmed as of yet
Looks super sweet matey!! Nice one!
It does look as though it's in some sort of dream scene of a movie due to the cloudy pictures!!
My only comment would be to peel off the Renault Diamond stickers on the wheels, check out BRIGSY's profile & the pics of his Tungy with his Turbine's for an idea??
lol the joy of camera phone pics
cheers for the good comments fella
Mate your car looks sweet, but do us a favor:
http://www.hotcourses.com/uk-courses...60216/page.htm
It does look very tidy
love this car.engine bay looks really clean and fresh
lol mate am not interested in becoming olan millsthey are just taken off my phone spur of the moment
cheers guys appreciate the comments, bodywork on this is not brilliant but will be once i get the bits sorted out
took advantage of the decent day we had yesterday to give the car a good going over and mini valet inside plus pumped all the tyres up as they had lost quite a bit of pressure whilst standing, but on a sad note iv discovered it has hgfwhats got to me the worst is that there are receipts for the head gasket and bolts from september last year so it must of been done on the cheap.
heres a few new pics with a pic of the filler cap
It may have been done correctly after that last head gasket failed.
There are plenty of reasons why the head gasket can fail.
It could be running sightly lean at the top end. when your fueling was set up was it on a rolling road or a real road?
its defo the head coolant is dropping big time and iv fount the oil leak peeing out the rocker cover looks like the last owner did a d.i.y job on the head, just had a price to do it £180
fuelling was set up on the road mate
While the head is off make sure the liners are checked for condition
yeah thats defo going to be checked, just a shame iv not got a nice full t25 go on there because this would be the perfect chance drop a 285 cam in
Come on be honest!You broke it on purpose so you had the perfect excuse to do the latter!
lol if only that was true mate i wish i could do it but funds wont allow this has set me back big time now as well
Olan Mills..........but he does the best pictures...........lol mate am not interested in becoming olan mills

new group a head gasket set
new plugs
8mm lucas ht leads
new dizzy cap and rotor arm
