I think the initial discussion started when the 750mc were banging on about how cheap it was. When with over priced ktec shite on there it's added over £2k to the initial race costs.
I've had 3 in from a garage down in Plymouth now. Each and every single one has had the crank timing out massively. One was actually rolling roaded at 150bhp. I corrected it and it made 185.
You can't buy pattern lower arms for a 1*2. So you have to buy genuine, so you won't get those dirt cheap.
You'll need to fit 1*2 struts, hubs, drive shafts, brakes, track rods and ends, anti roll bar.
That's a ph1 gearbox in it anyway.
Is the car a cup? If so you need either a 129 or an 089.
If it isn't a cup it'll be abs driven at that age and you can also use 182 gearboxes that are jc5 130.
Sorry yes meant to say are they both hot.
If they are then it's likely to be the mixer flap getting stuck in the cold position (unusual, as they normally go hot and nothing else)
Don't use a jack on the hub. Your making life difficult doing that.
When I said jack up the other side, I meant the other side of the car btw.
Ps, I'd have only charged an hour to do this!
Jack up the other side, this will ease the pressure on the arb. Then if necessary lever the wishbone down by putting a bar between the arb and wishbone.
