It's just another means to achieving the same figures as 423s, high company and pms manifold. Rather than just say it's FI so it can't be class A surely it's fairer to look at the power output and see it's the same as other class A cars. So in that respect would it be better class the cars by...

If it's very low boost you could run it without an intercooler safely to save weight.

I remember what mine sounded like with the itg and exhaust, your fuel economy will go down...

Too close for airflow, you want 20mm clearance minimum

Will the back doors be functional still or welded shut?

How many track days will you do per year and what supporting mods have you got i.e extra power, sticky tyres, weight reduction, brake setup?

Trying to order my copy, website works fine but it won't take payment.

Super B have been doing them for a while but now Varley have some which are a bit cheaper. I'm looking at the 16.1Ah version that has 670 cranking amps which is more than enough for starting but will it be sufficient for general use? The alternator deals with general running doesn't it so the...

The "interesting road" is called Marine Drive which goes around the Great Orme. It has been used as a special stage for the WRC. Its a good testing ground as its one way ;) Great to meet you yesterday. Yes I agree it is a shame, but needs must and it won't be like I'll be without at car once I...

You could possibly go lower on the rear, front is spot on tbh.

If you fit them at the height they're set at everything should be pretty balanced :) just get the tracking sorted when it's all together and have some fun!

Better on motorways for cruising, noticably slower acceleration.

Last weekend I got the engine in after heat wrapping the manifold, got all the suspension and brakes back on, started trial fitting the cage and interior etc. and now I might break the whole thing back down! Tried a potential new car out yesterday and quite liked it. Very different from the...

I wouldn't bother with the R26 head, I'd keep the 172 head and cams then get a Gen90 ecu with a clio turbo base map. No need to mess around with wiring and the dephaser then, its all standard.

@TarkMalbot have you got a spare one I could have off you?

That's the wire I'm missing! Haven't got that on mine, must have been removed.

Interesting!

Ooft! Worse than my rust!

Pre-DPF 2.0 TDCI Mk2 Focus. I did 170k in that car in 7 years. My mate now owns it and its on 190k. Great handling and comfort on the Eibach pro kit and cheap to run. Used to get 68mpg if I really tried and 52mpg driving everywhere like a ****, so it usually got 52. I thought it was so good...

The thought of taking the bottom dash out gives me nightmares. I cheated and left it in place but loosened the dash cage off, meant I had to cut around the heater though.

Did you manage to sort a drive shaft out? I've got one if not.

Nice update! Dit you try anyone else for the shock rebuild to reduce that 2 week wait?

Don't know yet, need to swap the flywheel and gearbox over. Might heatwrap the manifold too. Are you exhaust ports still standard size on your 197 head?

Long day but both engines and boxes are out at last!

Can't wait to see what it makes Mark, should be good!

Bought a cup with no radio. Fitted a new aerial base but I can't see where this connects...

They'll be in excess of 20kg each with the frames.

I've got a Zeitronix gauge to fit in mine, shows 4 parameters at once. Less in your face than the plx one.

I've ordered the 5k bulbs, I've got some SMD sidelights knocking around I can try to see if they match nicely, if not I'll try the others. Thanks for your help @MRBILLYUK

I turned up at the garage and it was in the ghetto. The wife looked over at me and just said "get us out of here" so I promptly spun around and set off home. I'm looking at trying one out a bit more local to me asap. I was supposed to go this afternoon but work is a bit heavy today and I can't...
