Lights on with the film

[haggi961]

My new lightweight flywheel from ttv racing came today weighting in at 4.2kg, and it looks superb and should make a big difference once its fitted.

[haggi961]

Little update. New saab head gasket and saab inlet gasket.


Also got my A4 stainless steel bolt set off JG (thanks again)


Forgot to add that iv put some lamin x film on my fog lights.

Enjoy the fitting.

[Ben NA]

Any pics of the fogs on with that film over them? Would be tempted to wack some Lamin x just on the fogs. Or just put some carbon fibre vinyl on them as they are never used!

I love the lights, still a tad to dark for me, but everytime i read this diary it gets me thinking about doing mine. I just worry about the rears...

Received a few more parts from autovaux today. They are all gm parts and the timing chain has the Z20NET tensioner and i believe a better chain.
The parts are:
Timing chain
Balancer chain
Timing chain gasket
Bottom pulley bolt
Bottom pulley oil seal
More oil cooler rings
Manifold gasket
Water pump gasket

my new oem fuel filter off autovaux

Hope that fits.

[haggi961]

Why would you say that mate, and if autovaux have messed up the order i wont be happy as i don't really have much time to get another one sorted.

[techieboy]

They always seem to send out the wrong filter as it's listed incorrectly somewhere as fitting the VX. NickB777 had the problem with them, as did somebody more recently. I ended up getting mine straight from a Vauxhall dealer in the end. Hmmm looks like your's may have the same problem
