Halfords Oil

[Simon]

Just done an Oil and filter change, 5w40 Fully Synthetic for £30.

Had some vouchers before anyone crys Anyone know who make this oil. It's probably identical to a leading brand anyway.

Cheers

This stuff Si?

Similar, think its said sunflower oil rather than vegetable though

 

[Simon]

Is it running now Si?

Yeah thank god Nice to have some power under my right foot again

Fitted a good standard rear engine mount rather than the solid roversport one, engine is so much quieter and doesn't vibrate the car! Much nicer when in traffic.

I changed took two engines out and fitted this one back in without injury. Changing the oil last night I gashed my finger open!

Cheers for the link Fett, looks like a decent oil. This ester oil stuff seems a bit overhyped to me anyway, it was originally developed for gas turbine engines!

No need to get to worried about Sunday standard Ecu for now. Haven't made a harness for the new ECU. Might just hit 300 on the standard injectors, but will need some bigger ones.

I'll be running 13psi again so will be similar spec to my engine before, apart from the extra 24cc (2044cc capacity now).

So 13psi makes 260hp, I don't wanna guess what 25psi would make

Yeah, every morning I get up and look for those dry roads, haven't found any yet

Mine will get it's final modification in 3 months (280bhp), and that's it - I'm not doing any more with it. Bleeding money pit.

280, nice Whats that modification then?

 

[Simon]

Plenty of dry roads out there

Wanted : Someone to go out with on Sunday with GSOH

It was snowing this morning!

 

[Simon]

I drive too much at work and commuting so never can be bothered to go out in the evenings.

Being it's a Rover head, about 261bhp
Nah just kidding, should be impressive fella

It's certainly not a standard head though

And the cams are perfectly timed up, none of this half a tooth out rubbish
