looking good
can i ask why you moved the doorway ?
all jobs are easy.......you just need to know how to do them !!
i had an advantage of working alongside many different trades, when I needed plastering done, I watched a plasterer and asked questions, tried it a few times and have always done it myself since

Must admit I didn't really get the point of the XFR-S, fine for the XK but does anyone need such a hard edged 4 door saloon - I'm totally sold now though, that sounds immense!!
It really does sound great. But that's just the point, there is no point! Completely bonkers
If Mad Max was about in 2012 he should have one of these.
if there was a point we would all be driving fiesta's

Shame they felt the need to put fatalities in there
notes say no fatalities were shown
as it was a television company who filmed it i would think there wouldn't be any

I wonder what was meant to happen if it had gone right ?

Tony you need to narrow the choice down
2 or 4 doors
boot or no boot
reliable or reliably needs lots of working on
practical or no roof/doors
expensive or bloody expensive to run
unique or standard
daily use or weekend use or summer days above 75 degrees days
and most of how much you want to spend

good luck to Tony
hope this was all amicable, will be a shame to not see him at WIM
appears WIM has many changes going on at the moment

BMW 3 series is very nose heavy and would need some serious persuasion upgrades unless it's an M.
?? but they are reknown for their near on 50/50 weight distribution ??
the m3 maintains 50/50 by using a lighter engine which is set back slightly further

they way he was leaning into the bends, looks like he thought he was on a sailing boat !
he didn't have much of a clue about driving let alone driving fast
a lesson learnt ....hopefully !

Got a question about placing these at the rear of the Corolla. It has a rear beam and centre jack point, the only problem using this is it doesn't go high enough to lift the wheels off the ground! So I jack from the side using the box sections, which I also put the axle stands on but they are more to the centre of the car than the rear, see photo.
I don't like jacking or placing the axle stands on the sills as it bends them, looks like one side has been done like that already. So can I place the stands on the rear beam where I have marked the red X in the photo? The centre part houses the anti roll bar and isn't solid. My only concern is I might be putting a strain on the bushes or it's going to cause a problem when the springs compress?
place the stands on the rear arm bushes where they attach to the body (2" from the red cross)
springs wont be compressed and you will get full lift
don't place stands or jack up from the box sections ! they are weak and can damage easy

heads up Rich
Fensport are taking in a t-sport this week and breaking it !
engine failure
How did you find that out and where would they advertise the parts?
Do you know what caused the engine to fail, they're pretty robust? Although I know they suffer with oil starvation if you track them and don't change the sump.
because I know them very well
dont know where or even if they will advertise anything
if you need something let me know, and i can find out if they are available and for how much

another route :(if m10 x 1.25)
That looks interesting. What are the thread inserts as other kits don't come with these? Do you use that kit the same as the other taps?
How can I find out whether this hole is an M8 or M10?
get the ruler out !
m8 will be 8mm wide
m10 will be 10mm wide
measure to the edge of the threads as size is based on blank shaft
then count how many threads there are per inch !
1.25 will be about 20
1.5 will be about 16

Sorry, didn't get back. The tap set is a cheapo, but should do for what you need. If you are getting some more OEM's don't worry about the micrometer. If you want to read threads though you would have needed a thread gauge.
No worries I was thinking of using the micrometer to measure the hole or would I need something else for that? The only thing with getting the OEM bolt is I might have to make the hole bigger so it won't fit.
Is this the right thread gauge? Seems cheap enough to get for the toolbox - http://www.amazon.co...45101556&sr=8-2
I wouldn't trust that tap set incase the tap breaks in the hole. Might be better going for a single tap of better quality.
These are okay

They're abit pricey though, I might as well go to a garage and see if they could tap the hole. This will probably be the only time I will have to use it so don't want to spend too much. Plus I would probably end up getting the wrong size or need to make the whole bigger meaning I'd have to buy 2 or 3 taps.

looks like original bolt thread pitch is 1.25 and the other one is 1.5
standard British bolt would be 1.5 with fine thread being 1.25
JIS (Japanese standard) standard thread is 1.25 !!
1.25 is a thinner thread allowing for a tighter/secure fixing, would make sense on seat fixings
you need a m? x 1.25 tap (probably M10)
-
how come the bottom threads haven't been chewed up ? it looks as if it tapers
the threads on both bolts look different with the original looking a finer tread, counting the threads they are different but may be just the picture or size difference
I would tap the hole out and get an original bolt

Joe at wim says he tied to to the engine mount
more like the engine lift eye
the eye designed for lifting just the engine in a vertical manner !!
I love the way these idiots provide us with so much entertainment
