Took the car down to EFIparts today for mapping, the engine is healthy and it didn't blow up on the Dyno which is a big positive. The results are 179bhp/153lbs, not going to lie I was hoping for slightly more (more like 190) but it drives really well, night and day difference from the base...

Yes, the friction surface is raised compared to the pressure plate mounting face, it is best practice to remove the same amount of material from both faces, in reality though if it's only a small cut - 0.010" or so, it won't make any difference. You _should_ replace the flywheel bolts...

It doesn't look like the flywheel has been refaced before but it does need it now. Your rear main seal is leaking, get the flywheel refaced, new RMS and an OEM spec (Valeo or LUK) clutch kit

You know the specs of the wheels you have, you know the specs of the wheels you want.. use willtheyfit and a tape measure and work it out. Will they fit? Probably, will they rub? Probably, will they look s**t? Definitely.

This was my setup, memory was a bit hazy with it being 10 yrs ago, I remember making that nozzle holder now, before I had the ally one water jetted. Looking back at an old build thread it was an AEM kit with 180cc nozzle pre compressor and a 760cc nozzle pre throttle body. TBH if I did it...

if it was a Williams 1 I'd say it was probably still worth saving for a skilled DIYer, as it's a 2 probably not.

OEM cat is worth £400 scrap at the moment (that's what i got for my 172 cat a few weeks back) , so I'd want at least that reflected in the asking price, as you're going to have to get one for the MOT, or spend £250 on a good (i.e not KTEC) sports cat and have it welded in.

Yeah that's pretty rotten.. realistically not financially viable for someone who can't do all of the work themselves. I don't think moving it on is a bad idea tbh

J&R shafts do get mixed reviews. You can get CV's for the original shafts to get them rebuilt, but they're pattern parts too so no different to aftermarket shafts. The guy that advertises shaft refurbs on FB/Instagram wants £300 for a pair and you can get two sets of pattern shafts for that. I...

I ran pre-compressor water meth on my MR2 turbo and it made a big difference, especially as they're limited for options for decent intercooling without hacking out the boot floor. Had a nozzle holder water jetted out of ally to sit inside the silicone hose on the compressor housing with the...

I listen to the tdc podcast to kill time in the car, but their content is mind numbing, unsurprising really as they're part of the auto Alex circle. I've been binge watching this guy's E30 restoration over the last few days https://youtube.com/@backgardengarage?si=2s3cC75st0f5cD8-

Had the car over to my friendly fabricator this week to get the extra exhaust hanger for the BTB exhaust made, dropped it off on Monday at 4pm and collected it last night, really happy with the results.
