Great work mate esp with a rope haha i think you can use them again but you need to measure them to see if they stretched so you will need the measurement they are from new.

you'll need new ones, the standard ones are stretch type. ARP are the best ones to get as they are non-stretch type and proven

Yeh ive pretty much done it all myself until it came to actually coming out where my mate andy gave me a hand and dawesy's crane made things easier just stripping it all down at the moment. How come you took yours out, you forged it?

no i bought the car ((jap st185)on eBay and a week after having it didnt even drive it as it was brought to me by car transporter started it then it started smoking its !Removed! off so i got my mate around who said it was piston rings so i bought a low milage block which was not far away form me i wish i could forge it and that was my plan till i got layed off :censor: so i decided to just leave the internal s standard then i had a close look at the turbo and it was ****** :censor: so i got one off a supra and mated it to my exhaust housing all i can say is it better put a smile on my face and the fact that its matallic burgandy which i havent seen many of hopefully it should be done tues maybe wed so ill put pics up as ive never seen it in the light lol

Ahhh nice was going to say if i get this new engine (Suspected cracked cylinder wall) you could have had the turbo off it. Have you upgraded anything apart from the turbo? I think someone on here said the st205 exhaust camshaft is better than the 185 camshaft, anyone confirm this? If so, you can have mine for next to nothing if u like mate, sick of them clogging up my room on base got too many engine parts taking up room, i got some hks ones.

thanks for that but ive got three off the !Removed! things lol i think when you get a gt4 you need a spare garage for all the !Removed! spares lol ,the only real thing i have upgraded is the turbo a exedy clutch d/v air filter /boost gauge and controller /fcd and speed defenceretc other than that its just things i could do for free like blocking the tvsv /lagging the intercooler/taking the foam from under the bonnet/gutting the cat FREE=NO NAGGING FROM WIFE LOL i just want it on the road then when i get another job and buy bit by bit

Metallic burgandy sounds nice u will have to upload some pics so we can see....

I am thinkin of gettina respray on my st185 as the red is a bit faded and tired looking and no amount of polishing seems to do the trick. Does any1 know if you can still get the gt-four etc writing down the sides and the rear badges? These will also need replacing.
