Yeah similar to the Pipercross PX600 i have. I would buy a new one - if the baseplate doesn't match the spacing on your engine you'll need a new blank backplate and they're a minimum of £25 - I think i've only actually saved a tenner in the end buying 2nd hand.

I had ramair socks on a set of webers previously and they used to collapse under throttle load and suffocate the trumpets - make sure the one you buy has a mesh liner to stop that!

Which bodies have you got on?

What do you do at Dyson out of interest?

On a different note, i bought a 2nd hand pipercross air filter to suit my throttle bodies but annoyingly the spacing from the previous engine it was on was different, so i'll have to replace the backplate.

The good news is my CAE shifter finally turned up, in all its CNC machined glory

I would suggest so but i guess he had a different opinion.

Everyone else seemed to be able to cue / take turns at using the gate from both sides in a civilised manor

It's getting worse though.

I commute through the park most days, while i was halfway through going through the pedestrian gate, guy on a mountain bike tried to barge his way through and then called me a cunt for the priveledge

no reason not to IMO - the 0w vs 5w is only really relates to viscosity when cold, if anything 0w will give you better cold start protection

the weight of both oils is the same at operating temperature, so should be fine.

sell as frame only?

ah man, i want a defender really badly at the moment.

Yeah i figured it was just mutual friend hunting.

Also describes their kit as being Navy blue, when it's clearly Royal, heathen.

is the guy who runs this Michael Gluckman? (or something)

He added me on facebook and proceeded to continually post utter twatwaffle, so i removed him.

Keeps trying to re-add. I don't even work in EC1 nor a media type.

those extractor bits look really good! I have a feeling i might need a set to remove all those bolts that have sat on the Polo shell since 1991 un-removed

Been lurking on this thread for a while but only recently re-started on my project car.

Just finished building the engine - it's a custom build 1600 16v "hybrid", on 45mm Jenvey bodies with a VW Motorsport S1600 exhaust manifold, destined for a Polo Coupe race / rally car

It's pretty light, i was amazed how small it rolls up.

It's awesome too btw.

(Did not DAS due to sheer confusion)

Guy in forum jersey riding through Pimlico 5 mins ago shouting something about politicians and rights for cyclists?!

Yeah, i guessed when i tried them on they were a full size too big.

As luck would have it though, i set a "reminder" on the size i actually needed in case a pair came back into stock - and got an alert this morning.

Boom

Did anyone get a pair of the blue climbers shoes in the sale?

I followed the size guide on the website and ordered a 45.5 as per the conversion from a 44 specialized, they are miles too big and annoyingly sold out in anything smaller :(

Got my PT Aero jersey, it smells unbelievably fruity.

caved and bought another arro jersey #buyer

I say that, no one has ever commented apart from my other half who was perhaps being pedantic.

i use my core shorts more than any any other pair at the moment, got them a week after they came out.

Grippers are cool, the arse material is a bit see through in direct sunlight sometimes though

sick, apologies for my skim-reading

do the wheels have the new textured braking surface?

tbf anyone who was like that had been blown out the back by the time you got to the embankment

That's what we did, we put down 4hrs, got a 6am start time, all of us got round the route in under 5hrs with no stop starting.

The first 60km was frantic though. Several instances of sketchy line taking, panic braking and all sorts

(including a drunk bloke walking the wrong way down the A12 at 6:10am nearly walking into the group)

so a truck driver opening the rear door of his truck didn't look before he opened it and clipped me with it as i rode past.

Some superficial damage to my left shifter and a huge bruise / graze up my forearm. I took his details and a guy behind me offered to be a witness, got the delivery company details and truck registration.

I eventually rode off, just before i left he asked me how much it was going to cost to repair my shifter i said i didn't know but i was more concerned about my arm what with riding the 100 on sunday.

He said he would rather sort it out personally as he'd only worked there a week and didn't want to lose his job (could be BS)

Not really sure what to do, currently sat at work icing my arm
