you wont be able to get to the cambelt without removing covers. Just go somewhere you trust, or where you can wait around while they do it

well the Omex prepped westfield with 2l duratec makes 1.5 bar at 2k rpm so there's not much off boost to worry about

lots of bits. head, pistons, I suspect cams (though I've not clocked them up) inlet and exhaust manifolds, and sequential ignition are all different. 197 runs constantly variable inlet cam timing, where 172/182 runs a straight switched phase shifter. In short, it's more than is practical to just...

no chance

I'm in love with that 106!!!!

Jon never had it. He's got Chris Ks old car

normally signs are when it's hard to get into gear or the engine revs up without transmitting the power to the wheels, or slipping into gear

if it's really stuck (and i've had to do this on a few balljoints) take the driveshaft out and use a drift and a hammer from aboveto punch the balljoint out of the hub. We use an air-chisel but a hammer will work almost as well

when i come over I'll grab a temp sensor and see if we have an idle control valve, just to try.

Re: My mk1 track car blog Tester is wrong. It was optional on all years so doesn't have to be there. Been through the same with my 200sx

afraid all of it comes as a kit.

it's on Prima racing PLs

aaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahahhahahahahahahhhhaaaaaaaa best laugh I've had for weeks pmsl

Phat sileighty, fair play to her

is it on there now? Just been looking and can't find one starting at £2k. Is your advert any good?

yeah just drop me a PM at some point and we'll organise it :)

Think you're about 5 minutes from me. Can come over with a fresh pair of eyes if you want :)

We (GDI/Omex) have a fully developed cable throttle conversion which uses the ph1 172 throttle body and an omex 600 ECU. Fully CNC'd bracketry and all sensors are included :)

could be something to do with the ECU temp sensor. Have you installed the diagnostic plug?

good plan lol

not a beginners job but it can be done in situ. Advanced DIY mechanic job

looks much better

the pipe hanging down is an overflow drain for the battery

filter is about £6 (plus a top up of oil) Oil pump I'd have to check but I think around £100.

I think you need a new oil pump pretty sharpish, but you it's worth trying a new oil filter first. Sometimes non genuine oil filters dont have the correct non-return valving in them so they dont hold oil when the engine isn't running. This means oil pressure (measured post filter normally) can...

Old school cool all day long

you'd save yourself some time by plugging in to a diagnostics tool/computer.

172 doesn't have a cam sensor.

there's always the F7R/F7P (williams/valver) option of course. That'd be pretty cool :D

a 2.0l from a 172 would be the easy option for the best power gains and least work. (some will say use an audi/vw 1.8t but there's a lot of fabrication to do) Think I'd be tempted to use a 1.6 16v (k4m) for cheapness of buying the engine and spend what you've saved over a 2.0 on tuning it
