I've got a 1.2mm 87mm HKS that I'm thinking of swopping for a cosworth. Dunno if it's any good to you, it's still on my car at the min.

I hadn't heard that. I got mine 5 or 6 years ago and they weren't cheap then. Probably be OK for a while then.:-)

That's why I fitted HKS instead JE pistons. If I came to do it again I'd take a look at Mahle.

Gotta love it Rob- getting your r built and your still diy'ing cars :) Now are you suggesting that coil overs are in some way chavy?! lol

Do you still have the PCV mess on there? I've been thinking about a draft tube or exhaust venturi to draw out blow by gasses.

Bold and slightly insane, I like. Keep us posted.

On my list.....

Very nice Phil 2 seconds ahead of the next fastest.

Well I'm looking to trade up.....

In that case buy a new one. ;-) Mine is in pretty good condition, for a 20+ year old unit; it still has a little shaft play and the compressor tips have been eroded.

I've been looking at EFR's as a potential upgrade. They seem to have a pretty good motorsport record and have ceramic, metal cage bearings and a 30 psi rating out the box as well as some other nice features like forged milled compressor wheels. I haven't got the tape measure out yet yet but...

Good to hear this is moving forward, hope it works out. I may look into getting a cosworth he to replace my hks when I come to it.

Is this they? 6th down on the left. http://www.jgycustoms.com/gtir.htm

Good to know, I'll probably wimp out on the retainers when I get to it and bring it up to you anyway. If you'll take it on.

I was planning on getting a "spare" head and taking time over it, lapping looks ok the retainers look interesting and terminal if it goes wrong. Can you still get shims or get them made up?

I was thinking of hand lapping the valves and swopping out the seals, springs, retainers and reshimming with feeler gauge if needed. If the guides were iffy I'd have to get some new ones. I don't have big power plans so I wasn't thinking of porting. bigger cam maybe.

I'd go down and check it all over, if it isn't perfect or he hasn't got all original and new parts to hand you could make his life quite difficult. Small claims court........ And as Makaveli says name and shame.

Do you mean the plastic trim?

I like it.

Lol, you wouldn't have another one would you?
