That kit is one of the least profitable parts we sell and I'm sure you would be surprised at how little we make on it. The parts soon add up when you include calipers, discs, bolts, brackets, brake lines etc. Compared to other big brake kits on the market I personally think it's really well...

Our parts supplier gives 5yrs/72k warranty on their INA/Gates kits which is why we use them. We had a Renault idler fail at 3yrs old and Renault didn't want to know so we don't use them anymore!

We've got all the laser/waterjet cutting done on your prototype kit James so hopefully won't be too long before its' all ready.

Kits back in stock now and we've got lots so shouldn't run out again!

Reliability issues? That's news to us.

only when you reverse. It also puts fuel back in the tank when you go backwards.

Just had another thought- I assume the oil pressure is good? If so have you checked the valve clearance - these use shims - has one dropped out?!

If it's knock the ECU must be firing the injectors at the wrong time or wrong duration. If the cam timing is correct could you have some pump pulley (cam sensor uses this IIRC) /flywheel incompatibility somewhere?

That does sound like knock. Have you checked cam timing? Have you got any cam timing/phasing fault codes? What's the history on this engine? Is it one that has just been built up?

Your informant is wrong!

Where did you get that from? I'll check again but i'm sure it's 180Nm. 105 Nm for an M14 bolt can't be right.

The kit has been designed predominantly for track use so getting the knob in a good place was high on the list of priorities. The gearstick is a fair bit further back already and a lot higher so it should cater for road and track cars. The gear knob is pretty much next to the steering wheel.

It reduces the throw very slightly but it's about precision not a 'quick shift'. The synchros are weak enough in the JC box as it is, you don't want to change gear any quicker you just want to get it in the right gear every time! There is no play in the linkage as it uses bearings throughout...

What? The price or the stick?!

The offical release date is when I get time to put ot on the website! Hopefully Friday. The price will £285 inc VAT.

That's for those late nights in deserted car parks.

I don't think it would compromise the safety etc although bonnet clearance may become an issue and you would have to stack about 5 of them on top of one another to clear the engine cover anyway and that's a lot of stainless steel!

Peanuthead, thanks for your feedback, it would be good to know some more about your views on the fitting guide as we could alter it if you had problems. Was the problem mainly getting the hole centres marked in the right place? As for the poor delivery, we use Fedex who pick up from us at lunch...

I'm not sure but I've got an old inlet here - I'll try it when we get some time. But it looks like it probably would go on.

Turn left if you have wind

We've just finished making a whole range of shims for the 197/200 rear stub axle. All in stock ready to go. Give us a ring to order - 01841 532734.

A whole day really and lots of plastic bends! Anyone need some for a sink?!

Not a silly question at all, I wish I had asked myself that same question after I spent hours mocking it up in plumbing pipe and finally getting the whole thing to fit and then realised I'd left the brace off and had to start all over again!

Yes it clears the strut brace.

It's been designed to work at low rpm,s so that we can produce good power low down and save spending thousands on expensive valvetrain. It has equal length pipes. It would have an area of rpm that it works best but that will be dependent on the rest of your engine spec. It should work...

They only fit on ours

Hi Nyall, Yes we did - twice - but your phone won't let us leave a message. Give us a ring on Monday as we have all the prices ready for you.

The noise readings are on a car with a 172 manifold, I would expect higher readings with the 4-2-1 manifold so a centre silencer would be a good idea although the system is so quiet I don't think anyone would have issues no matter what engine spec. This manifold and a 182 manifold is kind of a...
