I appreciate the work but, nah, looks crap.

seems strange they are so rare when many people claim the t16 runs perfectly without them

So 28 member states, we have 73 mep's from a total of 776 That is just over 10%, so unless we have people that can't argue their way out of a paper bag then that is a fair shout, what representation do you think we deserve? For a notion that didn't even adopt the Euro I'd say that is pretty fierce r...

You've answered your own question there Drew!

I think I counted 73 UK mep's. All getting 8k euros a month!

If we want access to the open market i.e. the EU then we need to keep our borders open to all EU nationals. If you honestly think any of the remaining comments you made are worth comment then you are delusional. All I can say is that Hitler made many similar speeches, but he waited until he was in p...

The German economy is substantially bigger than ours and can afford to take a hit. Ours being fed by service and manufacturing looks more fragile, especially at a time when our steel industry although 'saved' (but for how long?) is being substantially stripped back and vital areas of production cut ...

You think they will think twice about putting a healthy levy on their sales price once we leave? I'll repeat myself for those that didn't read it 80% of the economists in this country think leaving the EU will be bad for the economy. It seems we are being lead into another recession when the country...

This country would not operate without open borders. Look back in history, every time foreign labour helped rebuild this country. Currently we would hardly have a farming or food industry without eastern european labour. The Tory party seem determined to turn us all into racist scumbags when the wor...

I'll go out on a limb and guess most people on here already have a ratchet, screwdriver and pliers though?

Are fairly decent, You'll need a good sheltered spot ideally

maestrovdpt16

I'd be careful, as nothing stops dust being blown up underneath the cover and then slowly scratches into the paint as the wind blows it around.

This will happen with a simple dust sheet or a full on fitted cover (Obviously the fitted cover will be better)

maestrovdpt16

Easily said, I think selling a car that needs body work for £2k is a tough call. But I'd go down the lines suggested remove and sell all mods and sell as standard. You'll get 1500 ish then

I'd guess at a unit not needing a new shaft or wheels. Just new bearing and a rebalance. If you can find a unit in that state Wilky I bet would turn it around posted for a similar if not cheaper price. We all know though once a turbo has seen an active life it can be far more than a new shaft and be...

maestrovdpt16

Maybe a few years ago when they were common. Try looking for one now, they are rare. Their value for the T16 should be increasing as they are a good bolt on upgrade to around 330 with supporting mods. That is why I mentioned the condition as now realistically they should be more in the region of £35...

maestrovdpt16

Without pics approximate mileage, play in shaft, etc. It's not easy to say. £50-£300? £300 being a fresh reconditioned unit, £50 being an oil filled paperweight

maestrovdpt16

Bought a M series Manifold thing! you know, made of aluminium....

Decent chap, good coms, paid fast no fuss, all good.

maestrovdpt16

threadlock the 3 nuts going into the manifold, but yes the 4 nylocks will hold the TB on fine

maestrovdpt16

I used loctite to secure some stainless studding into the bolt holes. Just use some nylock nuts and they won't go anywhere. Some thread lock on the bolts into the manifold itself would be good though.

If the gaskets included aren't useable (they should be) some decent gasket paper will be suitable.

maestrovdpt16

Probably worth searching out a local machine shop and asking them to either extract or drill out the stud. Quicker and cheaper

maestrovdpt16

I have one of these, just need to remove it from a manifold.

£35 delivered and it's yours

1.5k if car is included Serious though bare engine without turbo etc 1000-1200? So you are adding £300 for car shell, turbo, manifolds, exhaust, etc? Seems a bit crazy. To say the least, unless the car shell is an utter dog and more an engine trolley. Surely a better price would be based on a more ...

maestrovdpt16

It might be quiet but I'm a big fan of the knowledge and technical info we collectively have. I'm not really active but I stick my head in once in a while. I'm waiting for the next project to develop, but I'm really busy business wise so no real idea when that'll be.

maestrovdpt16

Yes, of all the things to 'uprate' head dowels are surely at the bottom of the list?

maestrovdpt16

What a collection! I'm really liking the merc the older they get the cooler cars are imo, obviously there is a line where hand cranking and resetting your mindset on where the gears are might melt my brain but still!

maestrovdpt16

Aluminum, lead and especially copper are still holding good value. It pays to keep an eye on values so you know what to tuck out of sight.

maestrovdpt16

yeah, looking back my most reliable cars were german!

maestrovdpt16

what a great project
