I agree with your second point
As regards it not being simple that not the point surly you shoudl be modificing a car so it better and so it could still sit a SVA test etc and be in a crash and be safe.
H and R do a few spec levels there basic stuff is very good though.
you can change the spring on the coilovers though yep there a normal type of spring.
sounds a good idea though but some people prefere to let speciailiast set the car up cover weight etc I don't see the huge point but it...
Probably ha ha
A service and spark plugs is a good idea.
as for the relasy open the bonnet and there under a plastic cover bhind the heidlight bit awquard to get the panel off as the battery is in te way but put it back correctly.
the relasy get wet which can affect them.
v6 is massivly heavy and big not realy a great choice IMO. if you want v6 get a vauxhall 2.5/3.0 or rover kv6 or that mazda 2.0 v6
5gtt is an idea but not amazing hp realy depends what you want though its easy enough to use.
I'd be looking at a turbo there loads of hcie out there for turbo...
the fuel line when you open the bonet always has air in it its the way it is.
as for the smeel inside the carI'd be worried unless its stains then you've got an issue as the fuel stays well away from there it runs under the floor and to the front of the engine bay nothing more.
There no best the 65 or 80 are good though. I'd keep away form the 100 as its gearbox isn't great and is weak.
Depends how you drive and how strong the remap is etc.
nope 80 as the box is nicer to use and more reliable by loads.
Good luck hope you enjoy it you'll save a fair bit by the...
Rebuild get a good place to do the work and its all checked then.
yep same ratios.
Acceleration won't matter much.
Nope not realy Cup one has slightly lower ratios but nothing huge. Best get one rebuilt or least a good condition one
As you say take care with then and there fine people...
high rpm yepyou'd hear it more but they do spin quicker anyway so might not be broken.
life span depends on so much can be years and year other last just a year.
It not just use it how there treated oil cooling down etc.
There more like 70hp in real life.
