Yeah they’re the ones that were developed my me and Tom.

It’s shorter, so it’s more like 4.5 gear.

Race spec settings vs fast road/trackday on a gripper diff make a huge amount of difference to how they drive on the road. Just a change of ramp angles changes the way a gripper works as well. That’s like saying you’ve got 1000n springs and the ride on the road is awful.

@Dannyafro @Renny 5 may be able to help

For me, Donington is the best track in the UK. It’s absolutely sublime when you get it right, and it’s fuckin fast as well. Craners is without doubt, THE best corners of any track too. In my mk2 it was flat at around 110. In the mk3 it was 115/120, then heavy on the brakes for the old hairpin. Lol

Unfortunately I don’t know the part numbers for the springs as they only come as part of the selector hub for 1st2nd gear. Your only hope is to find another box and strip It to plunder it for parts.

I’m fucked if I know 😂 , but I’m pretty sure I paid about £12 for the last one I bought lol

Ford cosworth Amal valve was by far the most reliable boost controller I used. Just different sized drillings for the insert into the valve needed. Bit trial and error at first, but never had one fail, and that was running 2bar+ boost lol

To answer your question, I can confirm that jb3 internals will not work on a jc5.

What’s the hot oil pressure at idle and under load? That’s the best way to answer if you’re better off upping the oil grade.

Unsure how well the Grp n timing would work on the bp270’s tbh. Regards what’s best, it all depends what you’re after. Peak bhp then 197, but in my opinion you get better drivability from Grp n on standard cams.

For me I’d like to support MND if possible. I am also happy for us to support Help for Heroes 👍🏻

If you click on my link in my avatar, you can see 230bhp with a 197 head and inlet fitted to a 172 block. It may have also had some quite lairy items inside the engine as well 😂

Ya cor ma mate 😂

It’s the yam yam in him mate. He can’t help it. 😂
