It's a one way de-restricted toll road. There were only speed limits in one section (breidscheid/adenau bridge), but after the gtr took off and killed a spectator, they've added a few more in.

It's a plastic coating on the 5th gear selector fork itself mate. 1st and 2nd gear selector fork has it as well, but 3rd and 4th gear don't. It's just a bare brass selector fork.

Possibly @EVOgone?

Yeah you can fit Ast top mounts mate. I'm trying to figure out how you've got too much castor from fitting coilovers though? Doesn't make sense.

What wishbones have you got fitted? If they're cup ones you can fit non cup items instead. Or you need adjustable top mounts.

Is it a proper cup or a cc equipped one? If it's a proper cup they're easy as dan says. Cc equipped not so much. Lol! You can get at everything nice and easy with the bonnet up

Spray the nut for the power cable with wd40 or similar now as well! They're normally seized on solid!

I'm sure they will be along soon enough with the details. :up:

I haven't but @Dan@SJM @Russ_16v should be able to help with this.

I'm not bringing that into question mate, and I can understand why you felt like that, I just felt that stepping in when I did saved the thread from diverting away from the rs2 chat. :up:

I was pre empting the way it could've potentially gone mate. I agree that yes you did ask a perfectly good question, it was more the reply to it.

If this turns into a willy waving competition etc, it'll be locked and points given out. I'd rather it doesn't go to that so just keep it civil please gents.

If those are some of the brackets that are now available, I think I'll stick to the proper ones I'll be having made. There's zero strength in them whatsoever! There's nothing for the caliper bolts to thread into for a start!!

Here's my 2 efforts. They aren't the full res version of the pics though as they're on my phone. I can upload the full res versions later on. :up: ^^^ This one is my favourite. :cool:

197 Pistons will work with a 182 head. :up:

I have a couple of high res pics of mine that I'll upload. Ones at the Nurburgring and the others are from the oulton Rs day in 2014.

Service requirements on the grippers aren't too horrendous now that they've changed to the new style of plates mate. They will lose their effectiveness over time, but that's more down to how much lock up you want them to have. On a trackday car I'd expect the gripper to need the plates...

Yeah I'm happy to help out if I can mate.

Ffs!!!!

Oh and 24mm thick for the bracket with the threaded hole smack bang in the middle, so 12mm. The caliper holes are 14mm as well :up:

Hole centres for the brembos are 130mm, 142mm for the bracket to hub mounting face.

Lol! Yeah I'm happy to do it mate. Just let me know when and we can sort something out. I'll reply back to your pm as well at some point!

Yes mate.

That's the idle speed control valve. I don't know how much they cost to replace though I'm afraid.

Nah they're a thing of the past now mate.

Well I can only speak for the Scania boxes, so the answer is no not really. They all come from new with what's known as an opticruise gearbox. All that is, is a manual box with air operated selectors and a electronically actuated clutch, so it's a glorified manual box essentially. You have to...

Trust me mate, it does get very boring when you do it day in, day out. I get the variety of gearbox rebuilds and stuff so it takes some of the monotony away.

Yeah definitely! There's a lot of cool stuff in that engine build as well for the eagle eyed.

Lol @ the bit where he's reported as saying '330bhp is enough' on the e30 m3 engine, which then went on to produce 365bhp! Holy. s**t!

Ford bda is another good engine from back in the day.
