Right ok. Multitude of potential issues there then. They could’ve fucked the rear toe adjusters.

What’s it doing or not doing?

Enjoy your retirement mate!

Well that’s a big bag of dicks!

Nah those bearings just fail mate.

@f0xy want me to ask gripper if they’d be interested in making a cw&p? If there’s a market for it, they’d do it I imagine.

Age and oil degradation will be the main reason. But make no mistake, you will be able to hear that bearing when it’s failing.

You’re welcome mate! Glad you’re back up and running! That bearing is the mainshaft bearing. THE single most common failure point I see on the jc5 pretty much.

Can’t move it mate, I can only delete so you can re-upload the pic in the correct thread. 👍🏻

Just the day mate.

I’ll see you at CSF mate 👍🏻

That’s where the higher mileage ones become a bargain tbh. Biased, yes, but you’re getting a lot of car if it’s decent spec.

Depending on year/spec/history, you’re in the £20k region. Saloon possibly a bit cheaper.

You can get csf booked now then! 😂😂

Genuine tears mate 😂😂

He’d be fine. He would float well enough 👍🏻

Tbh I would’ve already put it on 197 injectors for that sort of expected power anyway. No point maxing out 1*2 injector duty cycles when you can drop the 197 injectors in.

Glad it’s worked mate!

Yeah it makes a decent improvement tbh. Back in the day there was a French guy making semi Grp n tools - so it only advanced the inlet. That worked well too apparently, but I never drove one with it.

Better midrange grunt. You lose a small amount up the top of the rev range, but it just means you don’t have to rev it all the way out. It’s 100% noticeable

Group N cam timing and a v6 airbox direct mounted to the throttle body. Map and done. They go well with that setup

I’d like to add MND again into the vote if we could please.

Funnily enough, I know where there’s one of those for sale 👀 😂😂

You can 100% feel the Terry that they’re carrying in comparison, but if you keep them on the boil, they’re a good car. More of a drivers car I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️ Yeah I prefer the look of the 197 over the 200. If the 197 came from the factory in AG, I’d have had a 197 over the 200 lol

If the mk2 had the same chassis as the mk3, the mk2 would be the king without a doubt.

Having owned a mk2 cup and a mk3 200, the chassis on the mk3 is superior to the mk2. The brake setup of the mk3 is also better, but that’s what you would expect when you’ve got 4 pots up front. And let’s be honest, the brakes on the mk2 can be made to be awesome with the right disc/pad combo...

You’re most definitely welcome to come along and join in mate 👍🏻

And for the record, I didn’t leave the bolts loose 😂😂

You can get rubber hose that uses the push fit AN fittings mate. Speedflow and Earls both do the hose and it’ll withstand plenty of pressure. I’ve used both successfully without issue. But, -6 is horrific to push the hose tail in. -8 is easier, but still tight and -10 is an absolute doddle lol!

You can use a hair dryer or a heat gun on low heat to remove bird etching quite well. You just have to make sure you don’t get the panel too hot and bubble the paint. I’ve done it successfully on a few cars now where it’s etched into the lacquer.
