so close to the subframe and floorpan? I'd be interested to see the impact. I'll be honest, im rebuilding all of the car and not actually sure where i put these, and trying to work out if i am going to buy more.

Does anyone just remove these and run without? These things: You dont have these on the MK1s, not really sure what they do, maybe something to do with crash? This would be on a track car/weekend toy.

I'm planning on using a stock block for now. Perhaps I will just keep my eye out for a replacement as early as possible and go forged when it (enevetably) goes pop.

How common is this problem and what is the consensus on the root cause? I am following a similar path but with ITBs as well, hoping for ~210, worried I'm going to throw a rod out the casing on my first trackday.

thats great news! thanks! Where abouts is the UCH box? Is it somewhere in this general area?

Behind? There is (what i think is) the airbag module in front of the shifter, bolted to the floor, but thats long gone. Im pretty sure there is another computer behind the dash somewhere near the fuse box. Maybe its in here. Will stick the key in next week and see what the light does.

W744WTR! i had a theory a while back that these were some of the first vehicles produced for the UK. You see a lot of W7**WTR in press pictures etc. Mine is W748WTR - so probably came over in the same batch! Love the car though, i was so torn between 2118s and TD1.2s. Went for the latter in...

Oh thats interesting, i will clean up my old plugs and reuse them to begin with. I am really not sure what map is on the gen90 I have. It is second hand from a 182 but i got the ITB kit inc injectors all at once so maybe what is on there will at least fire up. Thinking about it, now that ive...

Also - shout out to @KitsonRis for well documenting his struggles fitting this kit to a ph1! And responding to my barrage of questions about it!

I think my one tip would be to remove the pivot bolt on each side rather than removing the bracket from the body. This way you can avoid the risk of the captive nut just spinning. Once that happens it becomes a massive headache. Downside of that is you need ot drop the fuel tank a little one...

Thanks for the guide everyone! Spliced mine in this evening.

how do you tell the difference between Iceberg and Titanium? are there paint codes on the door sticker?

Digging up again because I now have said kit and am trying to get my head around the wiring. Kit you mention in another thread that pin65 goes to pin41 for the shift light, but that's not mentioned here on any of the sheets northloop showed. Does the shift light work on yours? Also the TPS...

also - is this the general group-N? or what has been experimented on with 421 cams?

Wow, wasnt expecting an answer so fast - Thanks. Well while i have your attention - Does the VVT kick in from 1600RPM all teh way to redline? Adding 16degree (advance or r****d?). How would the above be adjusted to compensate running without VVT? I thought the aim was to r****d the inlet so at...
