they make a lot of difference to steering responsiveness, as is logical really. take out the play that would have been the rubber compressing first and you just turn. You also alter the geometry to a degree as the top is pivotting in a much smaller arc

you know better than anyone though, how much difference a a stripped out car makes to pad requirement

they work, but they feel crap to use and inspire no confidence IMO. I know lots of people with the same opinion Nick is spot on, they're just "the in thing" that everyone uses. Mintex 1155 piss on them, and Brembo sports are designed to be better and still legal for road use

Spax won't rust!! They're fully stainless steel and powder coated!! also currently £799.99 (£100 off)

it's not, it's just more expensive

no!!! Nm

if you want dampers that rust away and knock then go for it

I've had them fall apart and throw the backing plate out while I was driving. Twice. I refuse to fit them for anyone

Will do once the owner has the results

setting them up is a bit more difficult though. there's some LOL-worthy attempts at setup come through the door. I saw a 182 with 1.5deg of positive camber a few weeks back. Yes. POSITIVE camber

1.4 8v? you don't have hydraulic lifters

oil breather sensor?

that is standard

I know there are brackets designed in CAD for it, but I don't think they've been manufactured yet. Can't see there being any cutting of bodywork needed

Re: Cam's 438s have yeilded great drivabilty and good results for a handful of cars that I've done so far :) They would be my first choice Mapping a ph1 that I've just fitted with GT cams tomorrow so we'll see what they come up with. They're almost identical to 428s so I kind of know what to...

how would that be any different? both have a pin hole in. The oval part that goes into the plenum is NOT (for the millionth time!!!) a breather, it is a vacuum take off for the carbon canister. Put a screw in the small hole. Done

Re: yokohama parada??? any gd i find paradas fine in the wet. theyre perfectly priced for how well they do the job of being a tyre. if you want loads better pay more. im trying out hankook v12s at the moment but havnt done many miles yet

Get it re ground and use bearings to suit

P.S.: it's not an abbreviation.. It's a catalytic convertor. lol, i knew youd beat me to it. its a cat. not a CAT

standard factory fit. It's not even down to short runs, they just have a really crap breather system and condensation gets trapped

no it will throw up every fault under the sun, and go into limp carbs??? it's not 1985!!!!

Were the valve clearances done properly? Sounds like a valve might not be sealing once the engine warms up. It's a long and boring job to do to get them right

JP = LOUD!!! RS192 = Fits like a sack of arse. rather have powerflow :dead: Miltek = CRACK!!!!!!!!!! (i've welded up countless boxes and hangers) Piper = Amazeballs Janspeed/K-tec = Great budget option, center silenced version (sport) is the closest you'll get to standard noise levels

constantly shocks me that mechanics have no idea how to source parts. You're not alone but I just can't get my head round it. How do you get parts for customers?

They need to stop coming up with quirky guff that no-one wants. If they continue the improvements that were well displayed in the Lumia 800 then they can pull it back. Gone are the days of them making 50 different phones and dominating the displays in every phone shop, they need no more than 5...

:D I'm back in work now. Just about to knock it on the head for the night

got to be honest, me too. It's a very nice system for equal air distribution on turbo cars where one cylinder can often be starved, but for the money it would cost (it's really not cheap!!) just get a bit more saved and go for throttle bodies

i did think that too but it usually wont crank if an earth is off

immobiliser. disconnect the battery, then reconnect and leabe ignition on for 5mins BEFORE attempting a start.

Last time i asked jenvey, they had someone trying it on another marque.
