Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 I'll be going back for new suspension in the not too distant future, hopefully. :D

Fletch; hooligan :rasp: haha!

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 £60, including new caps/seals. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 It was something like 610x600, in the twin layered stuff. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Glad the timing's alright; I can proceed to mapping now! :approve: Liking the Spax coilover setup though. ;)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Not long got home from Danny's (519 Automotive) and it's good news regarding the timing. :approve: Also had a quick blast out in his mk1; awesome! I'm sure I'll be back at 519 in the near future. Top guy and very knowledgeable and genuinely...

"CONGRATULATIONS" LOL!

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 It was done when I bought the car, so it's not due a belt change or anything and I've no reason to think otherwise. But, for £60 it's peace of mind before the car's mapped. :) They're no longer available mate. :) Nope, not yet. Chris (Bic)...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Not a very interesting photo, as it's not on the car yet, just cut to size/shape. :) The same shape as the current piece, but deeper to cover the pipes and loom. And just an engine bay shot. It got a bit dirty from travelling over...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 I've just cut my nimbus heat shield to size (and my arm in the process, offcuts are sharp :o ). Looks better than the current one and covers the brake pipes and loom nicely. :) Awaiting my streamline products any day now too. :D

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Didn't see it as hijacking at all mate, it's all relevant discussion. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Russ' technical explanations are awesome! :approve: Good to hear you've finally got your car back; for a short while at least anyway. I'm assuming it's going back to Renault with the gearbox noise? :( Also good to hear you're pleased with...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Yes mate, thinking logically, I think it's probably the right decision. :) As much as I'd have liked to run with aftermarket cams, I don't want to risk upsetting how the car drives/feels with the RS2.

Daisy is looking very smart now, Dawn. OEM+++ :D It goes without saying that Betty is awesome. :o

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 I'm not entirely sure whether there are testing facts, I'm assuming it's based on the experience of working with various RS2 equipped cars in different states of tune and how they've responded. As James said, I could proceed with it and be...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 And four posts later, a complete 180 degree change of plan; even for me, that was quick! :o Following a quite lengthly discussion with James (JMS) earlier today regarding my car; the cat cam 428s will be up for sale shortly. (possible bargain...

I'm not entirely sure how the mapping side works; whether I can book directly with RST or have to go through Tom to verify the purchase/payment. Once I can verify this, I'll be proceeding with the cams. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 After making a few enquiries I've made the decision to push on, as originally planned, and have the 428's fitted. :) From speaking to Dan (sidewaysdanny), I'll be booking the car in shortly with him for this to be done. :D Then it just...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 haha! :rasp: Before I committed to anything, it was a difficult decision between ITB's and the RS2 setup. I'm ultimately happy with my decision, as I love the way the car feels with the RS2. I feel it's a perfect compromise on an everyday...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 I don't think an exchange would be an option, as I've had the 428's sitting here for a little while now. If I went this route, I would have to sell them on here and then buy the 438's. :) Currently making some enquiries regards my options...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 I'm not entirely sure what the potential 'issue' is regarding running the 428's. They were due to be fitted the same day as the manifold initially, but Tom said he wanted to hold fire on fitting them/deciding what to do until he had the...

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Thanks, guys. :) As I've not heard back from Tom regarding the calibration work/results, I think I'll need to decide on the route to take regarding the cams; it's been a month since the RS2 was fitted and running it unmapped indefinitely...

Good review and outline of the day, I enjoyed reading; it's good to see the cams have performed well. :D Looks like you received a good level of service from k-tec. :) The thing that still confuses me, as mentioned before, is the results/effect of the manifold. I know all engines are...

Nice video, I enjoyed watching that! :D Nice surprise to see my 'bay in there too! :o

Lots of Vee's, instant win! :evil:

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Apologies for the slightly delayed reply, I've been up in Manchester over the weekend. The wheels bolts; I got them from sixonetwo ltd, they have both their own website and an eBay shop. :) Assuming they have them in stock, they're almost...

As mentioned yesterday, good to see the 438's delivered. :) Looking forward to seeing your detailed report later! :D Possibly going to chop my 428's in for a set of 438's.

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 If the 438's perform tomorrow, I'd seriously consider selling my 428's and purchasing a set. :) Looking forward to seeing the results. :D

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 That's come around quickly! :approve: I'm off up to Manchester on Friday, but I'll pop on here in the evening to see if you've got your results. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118 Another something worth mentioning. May have seen elsewhere in my thread about Recaro PP or Furious fixed shells; seats/interior are the next thing I want to focus on. Although this is still very much a viable option (in terms of price...
