Or just plastic form the whole underside of the car!
And if someone else could stop wet weather and find a cure for corrosion? ( maybe I'm asking to much?)
The plastic there in the picture is that of plastic forming it's tough but still flexible!

Another oil and filter change done! Good for a few more thousand miles!
Also had the air con pressure tested today! It dropped about 3psi in 30mins which is apparently acceptable then it was topped up took a full 650 grams.
Not sure of it was 650 or 750 so we went for 650 to be safe!
It now works but it's not exactly ice cold maybe on a longer run it would be better?
Anyone else have working air con? |

For a while now iv had a small oil leak at the back of my camshaft housing that leaks on to the exhaust manifold. Then I get some smoke and a nasty smell of burning or burnt oil!
Song purchased the gaskets at Suzuki for 18 quid each and under took the mammoth job that is!
First I removed the cambelt. The the camshaft housings.
End result of a hard afternoons labour!
Then whilst everything was off I have it all a small lick of paint! To take away the rustic look of rust and ageing engine parts!
Then after it had all dried. I slowly wrestled it all back on!
Except for one of my coolant pipes which unfortunate was so rusty and flakey that when I started to remove the rust it actually has serval small wholes in it! So currently I'm searching around for one. Then I can finish the job . Top up coolant engine oil and run her up check for leaks and that everything is all ok!
So far this is the slightly new look. Without my shiney bits added!

Fitted my bleed valve today. Didn't adjust it at all. Fitted it and this was my boost reading.
Got a small amount of adjustment available.

Looks like a healthy 0.8 so you should feel a good benefit once it's up to 1.0 bar

I litrelly fitted the bleed valve. And this was my first reading. So on my way to work I shall take an extra hour to get there so I can slowly adjust it up to get a safe 1Bar.
Then I shall try and make a good cold air feed for it, then get it on the rolling road and see what I'm producing....or not hahahhaha! |

| The ECU coupled with increased boost should be good fun, but look out, the weathers soon to deteriorate and getting used to the increase in power you'll get could be a touch hazardous with slippy roads. |

| Which is where an electronic boost controller, like the Gizzmo, comes into its own as you can have different presets for different conditions. |

The Rust-aration .... may begin.
I have finally removed the rear subframe to be greeted with the horrors I'd prayed not to see.
- at this stage I shall be asking members for help and advice.
A large amount of fabrication looks like it's needed.

| The boot floor isn't too much of an issue that just needs a simple patch and the surface rust treating. The back of the floor pans though.... |

The boot floor is very thin...wafer thin! But that only needs to hold a little wheel in and my pork pies.
The rear floor pan where the subframe bolt... that is very bad!
Can I buy any panels for the floor?
Other than midget ones for the main floor pan? |
