he used peugeot coupe calipers which fit straight on a non-sport IIRC

most likely a water leak IMO. Oil in the inlet pipe is normal as the crankcase breather is routed in there

They will go in fine, but I'm unsure they would work. Just from a quick look at all CATcams specs, the peak angle of the 197 inlet cam is notably different, and nothing like any of the uprated 172/182 cam, and I can only think this is down to the VVT on the F4R 830 being constantly variable...

I can't disagree with that strongly enough. The ends of the cam are not strong enough to hold the tightening torque, serious danger of breaking them, and you need to hold the pulleys still or they move out of the correct timing position when being torqued up. We spent a good 2 or so hours...

exhaust cam has the stud in the end Only ever met Mark a few times, dont know why he'd have had those though, he owns a Williams

that's nasty :( looks like bent rear axle with the wheel sitting like that :(

Xplod amp makes me feel a bit ill

ditch the rear speakers. pointless. Like I said, a good 3 speaker setup will kick the s**t out of most multi-speaker lash-ups you see Read a bit more of the spec on that page, seems a nice amp, I'm just questioning if it's well matched to the sub :)

RMS?? remember that's on a test bench at 14.6v and probably did it once only for a millisecond. What's the RMS on the sub? bet it's quite a bit more than that

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah clean up the mating surface. Oh it bolts to the box not the block BTW, typed block without thinking earlier

never fit speakers in a shelf if you have a sub in the boot for a start, the sub will distort the sound completely. A quality set of front speakers and a 12 in sub with appropriate amplification will blow away any setup involving 6x9s. I like pioneer co-axials (if you can't afford separate mids...

all controlled by the ECU, ph2 doesn't even have a separate idle valve, all done by the throttle body

If you go by the kent figures you should notice it will run a lot better even before you get it mapped (which you will need doing) Did one very recently that had been lashed together with guesses timing, and the transformation was huge, though very noticable that the fueling was way out

replace valve guides and stem seals

doubt that TBH. Garages have to make money, but they'll buy parts in cheaper than the public will get them, and sell at normal retail price. You're more likely to get charged extra labour time by a backstreet garage if you supply parts to them as they're not making a cut on the parts.

What you got? if it's 428 IN, and 421 EX I'd be inclined to try it, If it's 421 IN and 428 EX, that's no bad thing in itself, but you might find it doesn't want to idle well if you have fly-by-wire throttle.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project the starter bolts to the block and earths through it ;) There's no earth cable on a starter motor

datsun pickups!!!! WOW

must be another brand then. dont know what it was, fitted so many different ones :S

Got a feeling ASTs have the lower hole slotted to suit the different fitments. There's definitely one setup like that, not looked at a set for a few months, anyone got a picture maybe??

setup isn't hard :S

what coilovers are they, knocking could be quite a few things, driveshafts and balljoints would be my favourite culprits if the coilovers are in good condition

yes, to a point. on large injectors, small changes in the raw data of the map make bigger differences. Not sure what size 197 are but I think they're the same type as 225 (siemens deka)

megane ones are 390, a bit big but the spray pattern is FANTASTIC On a stock internals engine you can get away with standard injectors, even with cams.

there can be issues, but if you're aware you can combat them. Scaling is something to watch, and about the only thing i'm worried about, but you can ceramic coat internally for not too unreasonable money

believe that's the stainless equivalent of the mild steel matierial used to make mine

most cheap stuff will be 304, which cracks pretty quickly normally. 321 is meant to be better at dealing with the heat, but the temperatures i've seen quoted as it being stable are still a couple of hundred degrees below EGTs I've known on turbo setups. The trouble with stainless is it's rate of...

6l V12 XJR-S WANT

second hand system cos he's tight ;) :p

Oh wow, TSW flys. like venoms but less cool lol
