    Essential tools list

    Leathermans or multitool with pliers. Set of metric combination spanners. Spark plug socket with 3/8 extension and decent 3/8 ratchet (Facom ones have been pretty good to me). Couple of 3/8 metric sockets to suit the common sizes (8mm, 10mm, 13mm, 17mm, 19mm, 17mm hex for gearbox plugs,I think?)...

    spark plugs and leads

    A set of plugs will come with the caps, and the majority of silicon leads on the market connect to the spark plugs with the larger screwed on cap Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Best stereo and speaker instal in a bay

    Pioneer mids and tweets in the front powered by a Fli fu360 (cos it was cheap, not the best!) and a 10" JBL sub in a sealed enclosure under the RR bed powered by an FLI FL1200M (cheap again!). Head unit is a TUVVA KSD7843B(amazon), because I needed something with all the outputs to allow...

    GOPRO vs SJCAM

    I've just bought a cheap 4k+wifi one from amazon for £13.. Seems to be spot on for that sort of money! No longer at that price, but some of them are around £24 on prime for 4k with Wifi(you only really need 1080-60fps). Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    What to stick the plastic door liners with?

    I used this sort of stuff.. https://www.psasolutions.uk.com/product/high-performance-gca-butyl-sealant-tape?gclid=Cj0KEQjwnKzABRDy2pb7nPSazdsBEiQAI4lZQCkp0V88PnLWlrX1lMOU0_LOfhdBvFUUJGMtWal1mOIaAlan8P8HAQ" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It's very close to what most modern cars...

    Rear wheel bearing axial play

    Evening all, Replaced the rear wheel bearings on my bus over the past few days, with good quality German FEBI bearings (came in the parts the PO gave me). I changed them because I thought I had a bit too much axial play on the offside, after all that work its still the same! Measured about...

    Diary of a virgin (engine rebuilder) - still signs of leaking..

    Fairly smooth, the oil pressure is maintained behind the back of the bearing shells, so bad corrosion and such would potentially cause a leak path an d you may end up with reduced oil pressure on the bearing's. Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Fuel efficiency

    Should at least be able to maintain 25mpg+ on a long run. Lots of factors here though, crusing speed? RPM? Roofrack? Wind Direction?Hills? Although it sounds like your bus probably needs a bit of time on a rolling road to get the jetting right to reduce fuel consumption. You can get better...

    GSF price rip off!! - what's going on?!

    EuroCarParts or carparts4less.. Just got a clutch for mine from Carparts4less (which is the same company as as ECP) for about £65.. GSF and Veewee prices have increased significantly due to their 30%-45% offers, making everything about the same price as they charged before.. Some stuff is...

    Tyre Recommendations (standard setup)

    I've got some Federal super steels on the back of mine. Some cheapo Ceat ones on the front though(although they seem to be OK!) The federals have been great on the rear though.. in rain, dry, muddy fields and wet grass. They were from Halfords Autocentre I think, I'm sure they were about £45...

    Dubs in't dales 2016 pics.

    Was a nice chilled out weekend :) they just need to keep the size of the show pretty consistent now. Not sure the site can handle much more, and it would be a shame for it to move. Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Aldon Amethyst Ignition/Custom Ignition Curve Mapping

    Bit the bullet and ordered one... Will be a good few weeks before I'll get chance to test it all but will provide details and a bit of a guide for others if all goes well! Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk

    Aldon Amethyst Ignition/Custom Ignition Curve Mapping

    Yeah, I've seen the accuspark one. However I specifically want something that provides some method of measuring engine load, if not then it would be like running a 009! There's also the CB black box which includes a map/vacuum sensor, this appears to provide a slightly larger advance curve...

    Aldon Amethyst Ignition/Custom Ignition Curve Mapping

    Evening all.. Has anyone used a Aldon Amethyst Ignition module before? Its supposed to give you the ability to fully program your mechanical advance and also vacuum advance ignition curves.. Significantly cheaper than an MSD, Mallory or 123tune.. Just thinking about getting one to try and...

    Best throttle linkage (carb end)

    I've got the CSP bellcrank style on my 34 ICTs, seems to work perfectly once you fit the optional spring to the centre swivel(you have to buy it separately). I've also heard good things about the vintage speed best linkage, which appears to come with a substantial return spring than the...

    Boardmasters 2017

    Thanks for the info. I sort of expect a young crowd.. I'm only 21 myself, and can't/have never surfed but enjoy watching it! Just need to decide whether its better to be on the music festival site or not.. Think its about £45 more expensive for Porth Beach Thurs to Monday + 2x weekend music...

    Boardmasters 2017

    Yeah I read that its free public access to the surf. Looking at the Porth Beach Campsite so somewhere in between the music area and Fistral Beach. Did you camp on the site organised specifically for Board masters? Or did you not camp? Sent from my Siswoo C55 using Tapatalk
