Ive got some Goodyear eagle f1 aesimetrics on my Audi A4. Really rate them tbh, the grip is very good and been on for the last 4k. Not sure on wear rate yet but seem to be lasting ok.
Has the nut or bolt head rounded yet? If not, soak with WD40 and make sure you have good contact with a ring spanner and socket from either side. It should work free with a bit of persuasion.
Lol :p
Should be spot on then. Means it is the normal flat spot.
If you've just had the belts done then I'd save for the big power upgrades you mentioned rather than doing the cams on their own. Not going to be good back for your buck. Make your mind up what your looking for and then start...
What do you call big power? Think you might be disappointed.
Matched inlet won't make a huge difference but every little helps. There is no point in getting a remap at the start of your power search. Bit like putting your trousers on before your pants.
If you have that big a flat spot, you may...
The car will do very very little road miles, possibly just driving to and from the tracks, so possibly a gripper might suit my needs better.
Sorry for all the questions but what is involved in fitting either and who would be recommended to do it?
Cheers again mate.
Cheers for that mate. I will be racing hopefully but what costs do you think the plate diff would need in maintenance and how often(ish) would it need anything done to it?
I'm seriously thinking of getting one over a gripper or 02M setup but am undecided. whats your thoughts on them compared to a gripper with the whole traction v maintenance debate. (Bear in mind once mind is built I dont want to be taking the box out all the time unless its broke lol)
Sorry to read of your mishap but very honest of you to take full blame for it. Most would have blamed someone or something for it so fair play.
Looks like it was good fun and will live again though so not all bad. Hope you get it back on the road at some point.
Did this car have a quaife diff...
I had issues with my catch tank cause I had the inlet to the tank in the outlet port. I seemed to give more oil mist that way than when I changed it to have the inlet in the inlet port.
This was on a baffled catch tank.
Cheers Danny, was good seeing you the other day.
Thanks mate. I'll be going your route of box soon I think.
Cheers Wayne, will do. How's yours coming along. Turbo sorted yet?
Lol
Few more things off the list such as,
Fitting the PMS shifter and dash with my gauge pod. I've gone for spa gauges for boost, water temp, oil temp and oil pressure. Also got an AEM wideband.
Also trial fitted my new Bimarco Futura seat from the GB. It is bigger and wider than the cobra...
Good choice on the turbo. Is it a straight fit? Did you speak to Braveheart Developments about a hybrid?
Is there enough length on the brake lines when on full lock?
