Looking great Mark and some cracking progress ticking jobs off. Glad I bought new genuine wishbones last year now for stock ready to sort my subframe etc later this year. So much stuff going nla now it's worrying. Reliving the mk1 nightmare of parts acquisition all over again
not entirely sure as all i have done thus far is buy the part but the tail of wire on it tells me the connector may be a bugger to get to
i was going to google/youtube it tbh
If it's later model mk2 it'll be the booster in the rear roof mounted aerial base
common fault, i have same and have just bought new genuine base from RPD for 30 quid or something to fix it
have you removed the outer circlip behind the hub side CV joints? I had same issue on the mk1 with the 172 conversion, 6/7mm free play. two minutes with a mallet and screwdriver to remove out CV and pop that circlip off and gained an extra 5mm and vibrations all gone.
Did that 3 years ago and...
Lol, no sideways fun and giggles now, Sam is it in the mx, engaging concentration face as realised clio is better and he's made wrong track car choice 🤣
yeah totally normal on yours that. second google pic you linked looks like its been running incorrect though as no band at all on the inside where as yours does have 1mm or so
It's a risk, but fast becoming one you may have to take as none rusty RB's get fewer and far between and prices push up to the 5k region and more if you really are set on an RB
My rust has got worse..... but I'm in no rush to sort as it's still passing mot's and I know I'll be looking think...
Mate stuck one in his mk1 good few years ago, I've been round track in it, it's alright but for the effort not worth it n/a imo. His was about 225bhp iirc so modest increase on stock but doesn't feel any quicker than my mk1 with the 210bhp f4r in it
Up to Mick's today to fit new aux pulley as the old one has seen better days. They're seems to be some reports of these failing now as they're getting older so to be it's a no brainer to swap out for piece of mind.
Misfire reared it's head again so plugged it in and cleared some codes for...
Jesus that graph 😂😂😂
Biggest difference you'll notice when mapped will be smooth power delivery, not that mess! 🤣
Mega how well it actually is doing though for the fact it's ecu from a completely different engine!
Yeah there is a repair loom and newer blue connector sensor too which I've just ordered for my car, but I diagnosed a similar issue by just swapping on a known working sensor to prove.
