Hallelujah.

The drilling’s for the oil feed are in the cylinder head mate, not the cam cover,so I’m afraid this won’t work. The 182 dephaser and solenoid will work in your current application.

The oil drillings for the vvt feed are in a different place on a 197, and from memory, the solenoid operates in a different way to suit. This means that you may need to alter the way the solenoid works to get the vvt working on/off. I’m going off memory from looking at stuff years ago now, so...

You need to run a mappable ecu to run the fully variable cam timing that you get with the 197. It’ll just be on or off. Running a 197 dephaser requires the dephaser switching in a different way too.

@Nathan Evans how did the gripper feel in terms of lock up/harshness? And it’s amazing, the gripper has done more miles than the ‘other’ one, yet still not broken?! Whatsallthatabout?! ?

Ive got a decatted akrapovic evolution on my 200 and it’s THE best exhaust system available for the 200. The db is well below 99db too.

Are they cup racer rears?

The cup racer looks mint on the pro race rims!

Yes you could mate, but it’s not quite as simple as that. You’d need other supporting items too. Your itb’s won’t fit on a mk3 head either. Nowhere near that much power is what it would make! Lol! Mine did 230 on maxi parts with not a lot of effort put into porting and polishing

No mate. The 197 has a much better thought out cylinder head in comparison to the mk2. Substantially better in fact. The fact that mine made 230/181 whilst retaining the stock inlet shows how well it works with the right combination of parts. There’s no was a 1*2 would ever make these numbers on...

No mate. They just look like a mass produced item, so there’s no quality there in comparison to the 182 item.

Better cylinder head, higher comp, different cams and constantly variable inlet timing. Possibly a few other things, but they’re the main contender.

All I’m going to say is, if you think toyosport manifolds are s**t, wait until you see a 197 manifold!! Trust me, the 182 manifold is far superior.

Ah sorry was meaning one per side! Lol! I’d just reuse the original tbh.

Either use the 2 white ones, or reuse the originals mate.

Here’s his f31/81 m3 touring creation

I know who the owner and builder was/is of this car - he most definitely isn’t the typical stereotype! Lol

Yes mate, certainly did! I agree - the yellow isn’t to my taste either. I’ve told them that I’ll only buy it if that’s removed. Meanwhile, back in the real world! ?
