@LeeRS if you organise this again and I can make it, I'll look after you. I used to do banger racing, so I know all the tricks. Got a lifetime ban for going in on the drivers door. :wink: Whoops. Genuine mistake. True story.
Next time you do this @LeeRS let me know. Gutted I can't make it as I quite fancy a bit of karting!
Oh and a weekend would be ideal, or a Friday night as I'm a night worker. :up:
As above as optical says, it all depends on what needs replacing tbh.
It may only need a few synchros and seals (£90 ish) or it may need gears, synchros, bearings and seals (£380 ish).
Check the earth crowns aren't loose under the dash top mate. Seen them create loads of weird faults like locking/unlocking the car and the rear wiper moves!! Wtf?! Lol
You need to take it from either the ecu or the coil pack wiring. There's 3 wires at the coil pack, but you don't want the thickest wire of the 3. The other 2 are the ones to tap into - you just need to decide which one to cut and join up with.
I can try and find out the ecu PIN numbers if you...
If you want to improve the torque, Grp n cam timing works very well with the rs2.
If you're after peak bhp for the pub talk, then 197 cams are what you need.
I ran the new R888R tyre in 205/45 16 flavour. Awesome tyres and better grip than 888's. You won't get anything sticky in 195/45 16 so you'd have to go 195/50 16 for a wider choice.
Kumho V70A's are worth a look as well. You can get those in soft, medium and hard compounds.
Bigger doesn't always mean better mate. The later 172/182 heads are actually a better starting point. Big exhaust ports actually slow gas speeds down. My engine made 230hp on what were essentially standard sized ports on my 197 head.
197 head on a 1*2 bottom end will lower the compression...
Haha! I thought everyone on here knew that was me in the video tbh! It's been bandied around a good few times now.
What you need to set a decent lap time at the ring are:
Track knowledge
Balls
No traffic or bell ends.
Unfortunately the latter is nigh on impossible now in tf as it's just far...
