thought they were, the look so good! will the arches being rolled make much of a difference, coz the offset of these wheels is way off what they should be so im told. any idea of cost of gettin them rolled...and where/what is ccw? anyway back to my car trouble, i dont hear any pressure releasing when i take off the fuel cap Edited by: K13_RAN
the offset on my BBS on the mk1 is 24!! so i rolled my arches myself its easy, take the plastich arch off, get a piece of timber 3x2, wrap a rag arround it, place it on the outside of the arch, and gently tap the inside of the ach with a hammer easy, the paint will crack, so just touch it up, replace the arch, you may need to stick it on, job done it may sound like a botch job, but this s how most people do it.

they are rivited on, i used some kind of mastic suff, like silacone but better, have a look in B&Q they should have something. i know it does sound like a cowboy job, but its the best way to do it IMHO.
fair do's, im afraid of taking them off to discover rust though, fingers crossed though....the rest of the car is sound..... ....apart from the engine right now grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
but there must be a cause of this problem, if i get a recon block and head, then all my bolt ons are gonna be the same...and may still get this problem...which will be an expensive 400 (ive looked into prices already ) can any old garage set up my timing..i dont have the tools/experience to do this, and i wana make sure its spot on! do you know what the timing should be on this engine?
This is for the MK2 1.3: Edit: All useless for the MK1 engine No idea if this is valid for the MK1 sorry. Edited by: rubjonny
i have a college book, and its saying i could set up the static ignition timing...will this be ok? from what it says, i reckon i'd be able to do this... ie align the marks on the crank and cover and turn the distributor until the points are just opening.... or shall i get it done properly?
right ive done a compression test, maybe jsut for the hell of it...who knows but theyre all around 7-8 bar, is this right? t_r_d do you know of any good garages nearby which have some experienced guys in...coz i think im just gonna give it to a garage to sort out as im at the end of my tether
advanced autos in christchurch, take it to them. as for those timing values, the arent valid for the mk1 gg engine block, i'll post up the correct ones later.
