Don't forget you need the adapter plate for the oe crownwheel and that's welded on to it (that's the additional £180 on the invoice). I get these for £1095 delivered and that includes the adapter plate and your crownwheel welded on to it. All you have to do is post your original open diff to...
Cups had wider track front and rear. They also had increased caster which was done on the wishbone where the bottom ball joints bolt on.
The increased track width comes from a different subframe to push the wishbones out further and different offset wheels.
I'd possibly do the wishbones for...
I've ran without rear spring rubbers and all it does is make the noise of the springs moving on the seats a bit more audible in the car.
They do have some bump stops built in them which also help to locate the spring, but I had no issues with mine and I was on track with it.

Cam wise I think only the 403's come close to the maxi cams as well. Not really...
I've got genuine R3 maxi pistons, rods and cams mate. I'll also be using a R3 maxi evo airbox.
Head is ported and polished along with port matched manifold, supertech valves (standard size), 197 crank dynamically balanced alongside a lightweight flywheel and pulleys (possibly getting a maxi evo...
R3 maxi evo inlet valve part number: 77 11 155 377. It's either a stronger valve, or its bigger.
Exhaust valve is: 77 11 155 375 so the same exhaust valve used throughout.
Maxi evo revs to 8400rpm and also has solid lifters along with steel rods and crank.
197/200 shares the same size valve as 172/182. The difference in the 2 being that the 197/200 has a better design combustion chamber and ports. The 172/182 head does suffer relatively badly from the valves being shrouded as well.
As a for instance regards the valve sizes, the R3 Maxi Evo engine...
