Give me N/A anyday too, tuned turbo cars always have me on edge when thrashing them, they always feel like there ready to spit the dummy at any point and usually do in one way or another.

In 2012 the pro class were running slicks at KH as I was there watching it, I understand the difference between the 2 but its only about a second difference round KH.

To summarise this, super tourers are ace, BTCC cars are also ace but given the choice of N/A and turbo car at the same power we would have N/A and if engine mods were open and the turbo cars had a lot more power then we would have turbo?

Super Touring cars FTW, can't forget that them cars were pushing a million pound value and 10-20 times that in development. They were proper prototypes but shows what's possible with N/A If you spend the mulla.

Agreed with Fred, N/A is better lol. Turbo cars will spend most of the season being rebuilt or parts modified etc etc as they are notoriously unreliable, always a sensor out of range, needing replaced etc. I'm N/A mad myself so im a bit biased but I agree at 2000cc turbo car will beat an N/A...

Iirc the BTCC and WTCC ran 300bhp S2000 cars for a season or two during switchover period where both turbo and n/a cars were at the sameish bhp. Turbo cars won at high speed circuits, n/a at everything else. N/A will usually beat a turbo car around a lap if they are similar power.

Different subframe on the 197 so there is more room but still has the same type of top engine mount iirc ( drivers side) there is a good 10-15mm of movement when you slacken the four bolts that secure it to the inner wing and some slight movement on the gearbox mount on the 1*2's but I'm unsure...

You could for example remove a spider gear to allow it to be permanent 1 wheel drive lol but I don't see it being much benefit. Be good to know how he would plan on doing it.

Standard power, stick to standard clutch, medium power or road car then organic clutch, anything more then paddle type clutch. You will notice it quicker to rev up and down while stationary with lighter flywheel and should in theory help pic up of acceleration some, will be hard to notice...

If the mk3's are the same as 1*2's then there was two setups for the suspension of "Cup" and "Nurburgring" that was available in the german championship including other parts that no other european championship run like Alcon front callipers. The cup was the stiffest with stronger springs front...

As soon as you lock any of the four spider gears in a differential it becomes locked. I can't see a way of doing it. http://thud.us/cartech/r32-02m-front-diff.jpg

Just fit them all with dog bone and lower g/box mount slack. 90% tighten everything then move engine so that manifold clears subframe and then tighten from upper mounts down.

I couldn't see the adjustment nut in the first pic. The spring on mine was attached to that small hook bellow the lock nut, spring was week enough to allow the arm to move down when braking but return to the up position when you let off. Is this the norm with most?

It looks like a bar to me, that ain't a 172 cup valve. Did you take the picture?

Scaffolding pipe is cheaper and will give you the desired affect.....Bleeding ears iirc.

Yes loctite the studs into hubs, 100nm should be fine for the torque. Depending if the car will be a track car (90% track) where I don't advise copper grease on threads, just some wd40 now and again. Road car then yes.

We used to use injector/fuel cleaner from Delphi, quite expensive but worth it. Take the fuel pump feed and return and pop it in the container, run it completely raw or slightly diluted to bulk out. Run car for 20 mins or so with it, worked wonders on cars with slight running issues and cars...

Omex plus Pre made loom will cost £800 and then it completely avoids Renault loom other than starting/charging circuit that are simple to pare the Renault loom back to and be more reliable and better to look at and work on.

Is it your car Jack? It is possible but snow foam doesn't have much effect on oily substances anyway and takes forever to remove, it just keeps bubbling up so more washing needed and higher water ingress risk. If it was part of your detailing process, I would use a high quality spray cleaner...

Exactly. My opinion is different to the next persons, go with what you want but think what you are actually getting for the ££'s not just because a certain company sell's this.

^^^^^^^^^ In a nut shell. It isn't or wasn't my intention to get into a mud slinging contest. There's two sides, basically I don't think the ecu is worth the money. If you go for a gen90 and decide to fit yourself you will need to adjust wires to fit so no different in basic wiring skills to...

Speaking of what your car has Phil will not apply to all, its no secret you don't like your wiring and think its bodged, all down to who fitted or adjusted it. I think your forgetting. What do you get if you body a car with a gen90. A bodged standard loom iirc, including a lot of uneeded wiring.

Im not comparing to an Omex, its not the same. I'm comparing to some available ecu's that plug into standard loom's in the jap car market and I'm sure the German car market and others offer the same for £250 to £500 band. Even if I was comparing, the end result of an omex and loom is a much...

Have a look at the distance between the outer edge of your disk and the caliper. If there is room to make it smaller without contacting each other, have some machined of your caliper mounts or the calipers themselves. That should allow you to move the wheel inwards some more. The answer to your...

Entitled to my own opinion Dan, £500-600 cheaper and I could see the attraction for some, but well over priced for what it is no?? I can see why you defend certain company's products as your affiliated with them and its part of the way you make money so fair enough. I don't have any allegiances...

Looking at it again, its pedal box is on the left and no top engine mount. Must be a racer, you think that could be foam from an extinguisher??? Bit too much foam I would think.

Nowwww, snow foam is a step too far for me lol. Who's car is it??? He/she has a cup racer strut race and top mounts!

Cracking pics. Fair bit there on your's, the fiestas inside wheel is straight almost, outside looks better though. You boys ever measure your caster?

First time I have looked at the gen90 ......£1000. There's no benefit to any other ECU other than it connects to standard loom right???Surely you want rid of the standard loom anyway for anything other than a road car

It's a sort of mud/spray flap, breaks the aero and directs spray away from car windows following.
