New pads and new clips and discs should be here soon :smile:

 

Complete engine gasket set... get my project engine build started :smile:

 

The old engine is getting tired (smoking when first started and compression down on 2 pistons) :sleep: so I'm on the hunt for a rs turbo engine block... If you have 1 knocking around and your in the Kent area let me know :smile:

Just noticed the yellow Break Engineering box, they are based near me in Wrexham North Wales hopefuly you can still pop into their factory and but stuff directly from them as i want some new calipers (but cheap lol)

btw, Anyone know what this sensor is ??

I'm not sure its working right as it got a smack from a hammer.... by accident :smile:

I thought it was a knock sensor, but I can't find a replacement anywhere.
