Morspeed
Turbo Mini Forums

Called him today and he said he posted it this morning, and says it will be here tomorrow so we will see. I agree simon is a top bloke just needs to be realistic with ETA's. Sounds like he has been busy, had a chat with him for a 10mins today and said he has been working till nearly midnight trying to catch up on work. Sounds like he is making a serious effort to rectify things normally get the impresion he just says anything to get me off his case, today he seemed to want to talk. Big thumbs up if he gets things back on track.

thats the impression i got when i was there that he's tring to get the workload back on track, i did'nt leave till proboly 7pm & there was no sighn of him packing up to go home!!!!

SKYLINES ARE LIKE CLITS, EVERY FLANGE SEEMS TO HAVE ONE: see this sticker on my silvia

the Search-section on this forum is blummin superb & simple to use, unlike some other forums, without the search-section & the help of this bunch of chaps on here i'll never be able to !!!Start the day with a 998cc turbo!!! :) i'm getting closer though!

Tom Fenton says: I have it all, make me an offer

Top marks form me if he does turn it around

Well I have my package, but not what I was waiting for!!!!

I have pretty much everything apart form the bits I need. Waiting for my pistons and conrods still. Can't do much without them. At least I can get the crank, flywheel, backplate, bottom pulley balanced once I get the tigger wheel welded to the bottom pulley. Slowly getting there bit by bit.

I was going to get Simon to mod my block, by the sounds of things I might need to drop it in now as im going to need to build it up in a few months..Lol

Well more progres today. Called Simon yesterday and he said piston were not done but if I called today to remind him he would do them.

I called him at 12 he said yep get them done later. Called around 4pm and yep all done!!! Said should be with me saturday. So fingers crossed they will be here and I ca get building.

Mike, did you tell Simon how much you wanted taking out of your pistons, or does he do them to a norminal depth?

He ask how far down the bore the pistons were when at TDC, and there are 3 different thickness head gaskets. I am gonna dummy build it up when they come and check the valve to piston clearance. Simon is sending them not on the rods so I can put a loose fitting pin in the piston if there is any problems I can send them back for machining deeper pockets.

The head had the bare miniuimum skimmed when it was machined to keep the CR down as it will be turboed.

Time to start measure chamber sizes this week. :)

Ah right..so if you do manage to get them back, you might need to send them back for reworking...Lol

Has he told you what kind of cc's have taking out for each piston?

I will finish of machini9ng them myself if they need anymore. The only reason I took them to morspeed was to save myself some time. Ended up taking about 10 times longer lol and costing me money. I could have done it for free at work, just didn't have time a few months ago.

the time its taken you could have carved them out with a broken bottle

But saying that, from past experience I am sure they will be spot on and I won't need to machine any more off them. Simon does do a top job normally.

Just hoping my parcel arrives tomorrow morning

so did it arive?

I think we could guess the answer

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

a big fat NO it didn't arrive. I'm sure you will be suprised at that Jim

Do specialist components do piston machining? If they do you should take it there!

He really is taking the piss now!

BAC.

This aint a good thread for me....

If one of my 11cc pistons has indeed gone do I really want to trust that Morespeed will do me a replacement in a reasonable time..

Add to that the complications of shipping (last time it took him weeks..) and I am seriously wondering...

Hi,
I shouldn't post here really as I've got no experience of this company, but from what I've read Tel I'd get it done somewhere else.
Not that machine shop you used for the other jobs either
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Cheers,
