The car:









Here's what she looked like when I picked her up early June.

It had a few basic mods including painted alloys and blue flame turbo back exhaust system with de-cat, bilstein suspension.

Thanks to IbizaAlex I picked up this:



Pro Alloy intercooler, majority of pipework, modified crash bar, brackets and bits and bobs to fit.

Bumper off and brackets supplied by IbizaAlex to be fitted to the left sode of th radiator to give more room and a straighter finish for the cooler

Gettings these also meant I need to gap the rings to the correct sizes (info which I go from Alex) to the following:

Top compression ring 0.018"
2nd compression ring 0.019"
Oil rings 0.016" - I've also read and seen that the oil rings can have a larger gap but no smaller.

This is the "home made" tool I used to grind the rings as a normal file doesn't suffice, just takes too long. It consists of an angle grinder metal cutting wheel put on a T bar clamped into a workmate.

Also started stripping the cylinder head for a skim, .003" is to be skimmed off after taking it to an engineering company. Camshafts, chain, chain tensioner and gaskets removed. One nut has rounded off badly on the exhaust manifold so I'll be buying a nut splitter to get this off as I don't want to bash a socket over it, being that it's on an aluminium head I can see something going wrong and cracking.... Finally noticed that the head has had some treatment previously and has been faced on the top of it hence no engine code is embossed into the tab on the front left of it, aswell as it been previously skimmed. The guys at Rolands Engineering said the chances are that I will need a thicker head gasket as the head will sit a bit closer to the pistons meaning that they could strike them!
