  7. there was some tasty metal back then wish i could afford one
  8. never used slick 50 or ever really seen it either i dont belive in oil addertives for the same reason as you regular oil changes is key if you change the oil regularly with a good quality high spec oil when you rebuild an engine because of a failure like head gasket you can see as soon as you remove the rocker cover if its been well maintained not only that i find turbos seem to last longer mains an big ends show less wear if the oil is kept on top of
  9. mad world what they done was illegal an very wrong i would never ask or take points for motoring offences but in the scheme of things both of them have done very little compared to the politicians an bankers scams and they get little punishment madness

  13. none as far as im aware of it aint a big job to pull the shafts 4 bolts out the back plate and a slide hammer the shafts out do one side at a time you wont lose any oil if they dont come out you havent lost anything buy trying just put the drum bolts back in katana my friend was running superlites an went straight over 13x7 using 51ierra calipers rs 4 spokes have a very thick inner rim could be why they hit

  16. dont need to pull the shafts if you dont want too ive heard of people just running a grinder round them only need about a 1mm of them personaly i would remove them tho an stick them in the lathe an do it properly i thought 51erra rear calipers fitted over 13" rims
  17. if someone is daft enough to spend all there savings genuine RS/1100L more fool them there is enough clubs an information available to go armed with to check its the real thing its more than just a few strut plates welded to the shell to make a genuine rs if you had to have the genuine part perfect car a years membership to avo is alot cheaper than buying fake or incorrect speced car also if the cars the real thing the owner will have nothing to hide when it comes to inspecting it closley sebring this is not a dig at you the car you brought was from a very shady person on a scam this isnt right but if you do your research things like this wouldnt happen
