Bought a cheap PH1 Today, seems a decent car
eibach springs
belts done dec 13
scorpion cat back
but no MoT, yet
and judders in first gear so chucking some engine mounts on that i have in the garage and if not can have the part worn clutch out the hillclimber too,
A BRZ Cosworth ran in the road going class at Harewood Hill on Sunday not massively fast but looked very nice,
They have turini's from the factory and really suited the car
edit, may be ultraleggera's
they also look great on Enkei rpf01's
Don't risk it,
Have the belts and dephaser done while it in bits and put it down to experience,
No need to paint the cam cover, not seen a rusty one yet.
The difference equates to 2mph at 60mph or around 150rpm, I'd wait till you need the box out for another reason and do then rather than making it a job in itself, if you haven't done anything with the suspension refresh that first, a set of new172 cup shocks are a good cheap upgrade
early production runs always have issues, even in multi million pound products,
you should give the guy a chance, it may be the next big thing, power gains wise.
Tonight I plugged in the diagnostic computer just to look over a few things and noticed the throttle pedal was maxing out 90%when floored,
I removed the inlet pipe to the throttle body and it is indeed only opening 90%, the car obviously wasn't running.
is this normal???
It's says you may need to compromise between the friction needed for the syncros and the slip oil to stop the plates grabbing,
so a custom blend by adding a little friction modifier a bit at a time on a trial and error basis
If it's an auto torque biasing like the quaife any oil would work
If it's a plated diff like a gripper it will need either LSD oil or a friction modifier added to the oil or they'll bang they're knackers off but usually in both left and right turns
I think it's possibly a little overpriced, maybe 5.5k tops but folks do still seem to stump up the money for them

I've decided to push the boat out and buy the Gripper diff with either the 4.54 or the 5.25 (still comparing ratios) crown wheel for next season,
but was wondering if anyone knows of discounts dealers are currently offering or are going to offer, Corby motorsport are doing a 4% discount
which is...
