lol well actually if u went out and bough a safety devices rear half cage for instance it wud be exactly same as this one except not polished
it needed a few big washers where it bolts to the floor cos the metals only thin round there
its not like the gay ones that just bolt to the front...
well its in cant test to see if its stiffened it up yet tho
looks the fukin bollox tho, now im even more of a racin driver with roll cage hhehehehehe
adi
mine turned up today its 2.5" stainless tube and it bolts to the rear strut tops and the rear floor so should stiffen the car quite a bit not like dimmas effort
it took a while getin in its a tight fit it just looks to me like it needs a spacer on 2 of the legs for it too sit properly jus...
i dont think the valver box is that overstressed mine did 140k, 20oddk on a 2litre with 170-180bhp with numerous drag racing days and mat did a track day there just not bullet proof thats all
and i dont think the weakness is in first either they more than likely start jumping out of gear and...
haynes manual tell you resistances at certain temps not much good as the valver temp gauge has no numbers onit
coolant temp sensor only a few quid i think i did buy 1 a while back cant remember exactly how much tho
adi
u push the little studs in at the back look like the end of rivets bit of a pain tho like
then u just pull the filter off then theres just the 3 bolts onto the t/b
adi
a more or less standard valver wont pull a willy fifth itll just die when u select fifth unless ur going downhill lol
150 is possible tho more if chipped with enough beans
adi
put the meter on dc volts
put it across batt terminals
reading should be over 13.5 volts for a good alternator with engine running of course, with some elec devices running lights, blower etc should never dip below low 13v
biggest prob i hear about with re-furbed willy rims is colour not being accurate not the actual re-furb itself
if u can guarantee a colour match ud be very much in demand
mats a perfectionist so quality be assured
i kno kel an jon are interested in a re-furb at the minute they jus worried...
mines lowered over 60mm at the front on coilovers and i have no problem with excessive camber it doesnt wear the inside of the tyres at all more likely the outside from cornering hard
35mm lowering should be fine
adi
ur best bet really is another valver box or a transmission specialist shud be able to rebuild your box for not much cash if u can refit it urself
19d box wont do for a reason that escapes me at the minute lol sure sum1 else knos tho
adi
how often does it do it mine only really does it in cold wether and by the time ive turned out of my close gone down a rd half a mile long over a load of speed bumps which u have to go really slow over anyway its stopped it
adi
i get round it by lettin car warm up for 2 mins before it leaves the drive it only does it when i jump in and drive the car from cold and doesnt do it for long
adi
both my valvers and one with 2 diff engines hav all done this when cold i thort it must jus be a valver thing
as long as it still goes well when warm i wouldnt worry
adi
this months pgti has a rolling road day for 106 rallyes
the 106 with lads 130 brake conv made standard power of 100hp lmao
there sh*t if theyd done my car id be demanding me money back
adi
ive junked my spare for a can of foam, tyre places say they cant replace a tyre thats been filled with foam thats bollox they just dont want too cos its a horrible job
a spare typically weighs about 18kg ive got a sub box and amp which weighs more or less same as spare so im back to normal...
