Was telling the technicians at work about this and how modest you are as long as you are enjoying it keep up the good work! A fair few people are saying to you why don't you become a mechanic but from my experience as soon as it is a job you get fed up with it and the last things you want to do on your days off is play with more cars.

i can agree with that comment.
when i was a mechanic i hated playing with my own car in my own time it always had to be in works time. for some reason i never noticed things that wernt right with my own car untill i gave up mechanics lol.

Same with any hobby if it becomes your job you get tired of it, my friends had lots of fish tanks and crazy tropical fish he works in an aquatics shop now and even thou he gets discount he got rid of all the tanks and the whole family just bought one marine tank they all look after as he got sick of it.

Modest; Having or showing a moderate or humble estimate of one's merits, importance, etc.; free from vanity, egotism, boastfulness, or great pretensions.

ie you are not a big head showing off about yourself and don't think too much of what you have done.

Which makes us love it even more!

 

[Bentley1989]

Where about near doncaster out of interest mate?

carnt really say , has i never get anything done when im bisy ,, but i usely go to a few car meets etc around shefield ,,

 

[powernut]

well guys been a tad bit bisy but managed to get everything rebuilt /wired up and fitted ,, so i suose i can call it a r32 hybrid turbo now ,, engines totaly differnert again with the r32 head/upratted injectors/pistons and duel fuel now on the go , ,,

 

[powernut]

,ps had a dam noise which sounds like a stuck hydrolic tappit/bad cam lob/stuck injector to a piston hitting the head , but yet the engine idiols 10percent better then the old 2.8 head ,and rev responce is deferntly better,pecent 14.7afr on idiol ,didnt sleep too well last night thinking about this knocking noise , i had a bit of thinking and came up with a easy idea (should have thought of this first off) ,,,this may sound odd but very effective,,,, i used a screwdriver(one end in my ear and the other end touching things around the clyinder head, found the dam noise within 5mins ,, and the noise is , the injectors,,,,,nothing bad , as u see from the early pics , the back 3 injectors have steel bodys on them which are pulseing/echoing threw the clyinder head ,,i only put 3 small bits of rubber to try it and bingo all the noise instaintly went ,,,, fueling set up ,but it will soon be back with a safer 20psi
