Yeah that's it, no point if it's no fun.
It's parked up next to my cup now so I can strip the parts off to swap over.
Yours sounded good going down the pit straight
Fair play, they're very nice figures and its good to see the manifold adding around 10lbft either side of the previous peak torque figure and more top end. Looking at your graph the manifold might even help mine out top end.
I've been looking at the usual 422/423 but I've also been considering using a 197/200 dephaser with catcams 404 and mapping in the continuous vvt control
Some longer trumpets might help your torque no end, those Titans look really short. The 423s have a peak torque band from about 4.5-7k RPM so short trumpets won't gain you anything there.
Interested to see how you get on without the VVT. I'm debating what to do with my forged engine, would be a waste not putting some BIG cams in down the line.
Go to a scrap yard or look on ebay for a Mondeo master cylinder. Guarantee you you'll find some cheap or for free.
Otherwise you've got the cost of the bias valve and all the pipes and fittings.
Run one of these on each brake line straight off the master cylinder

I got mine for free though from a freind with a spare mondeo master cylinder.
I just run Ford in line pressure reducers from the master cylinder to the rear lines. Feels perfect.
If you want it adjustable then I would tee both rear lines into one bias valve with 1/4" diameter fittings (its about the same as 2x 3/16" fittings so you don't restrict anything). Then 1/4"...
Haha yeah I'm not the only one! ;)
Its mounted with a alloy bracket I made and a cable tie. The fan is fitted with a fan fitting kit. I'll be selling the rad and fan when I start stripping the silver one.
You don't need camber or 195 tyres tyres for ET35. You can run between ET 45-25 with 195 or 205. ET35 is better for clearance all round with shocks, inner arches etc.
Put a 172 cup gearbox in, it has a better final drive which suits the car much more. The Ph1 box makes it feel a bit lazy in comparison.
So get a JC5 129 instead of the JC5 089. Both are speedo drive boxes and a straigh swap for one another.
Its my place of work unfortunately so Friday and Saturday are out. I'll be around there tomorrow from around 7am until about 6.30pm.
Otherwise if you pay by gift I'll do them for £35 and get them to the courier tonight so you should have them for the weekend.
Yeah mine came off my Ph1 before I put the Brembos on, they work perfectly.
Postage and paypal fees would make it £40. I'd take £25 cash if you collected from CH4 0DR
Normally on FWD the rear is narrower than the front to make it understeer less. But all that changes when you start playing with different geometry settings and suspension anyway. Personally I'd like to go as wide on the back as possible
