picture above as requested. the coil assembly is moved to anywhere you can put it.. above the new inlet manifold is fine.. the tubo sits very low, you are looking at the engine with the 172 induction system removed ! pic from above...

sounds like a faulty oil level senser unit or wiring to such. the wires under the seat will not effect the oil level signal. an intermittent oil level sender fault will illuminate the service light until it corrects itself. hope that helps. Joe

Just a note.. never fit an oil cooler for looks.. only if you need it.. undercooling is nearly as bad as overcooling. Joe

Heres a shot of the first trial fit (non 172 head (note no vvt on intake cam)) everything lines up great, exhaust run is now being designed. Looks kewl eh ? Joe http://homepage.ntlworld.com/captainslarty/turbofit1.jpg

Hi Petes, the increase in castor is compensated by the increase in negative camber. Due to it being markettable I wont give exact figures Hope to have a set to demo soon.. (But, I might need a vounteer ???) Joe....

I have a set of 172 pistons here. drop me a mail captanslarty@ntlworld.com
