saw one a while back with high comp and 421s make 221 and IMO the cams were holding it back at that point as they were wrong for the rest of the engine

I'd expect so. Get your tape measure out

water pump is a rare issue and not a cambelt off job to change later. Not necessary IMO. Dephaser is only needed if it's noisy, or if you're on particularly high miles, or oil changes have been neglected for an extended period. it is however a cambelt off job to change at a later date

Nimbus, no question

All I know about that home build was it ran Cat 423's. Not even sure of the c/r used, although I'd expect it was 12.5:1

makes bugger all difference. haklf the cars that come in to me have the alarm switch missing off the slam panel so are most likely imports. 99% of buyers have no idea of this

Looks a pretty typical powerflow installation to me. That center hanger is from a metro. They use them on everything. You're unlikely to make standard mounts fit with that system

you do? I put A 172 mount on my mk1 and it bolted straight on

work well, but they're noisy and will shorten the life of your valve train

yes, doesn't lock

I've heard of a home build, using standard size valves, and it made 248bhp a few weeks ago, so it certainly is possible

nope

might give you funny camber, ie not enough of it

good wheel place will do it. Needs a large bed lathe. only 1.5mm of material all round so a small increase really

to my knowledge, all the rockers are the same. I've not sat with a microscope, but there's certainly nothing special about 197/200 rockers compared to 172/182

look in my traders section

Owners brother Phil did it. To be honest you can see why he struggled if you look at the car. Really messed up angles to work with

not quite. Ktec ones are cheap. You get cheap parts for small amounts of money, but they're passable for the cost. GAZ are worse, and double the price. Vmaxx are in the same budget bracket I guess, OK for the money but don't expect stunning performance. Vmaxx are the only budget coilovers with...

lol, hence the custom manifold and downpipe recently. Looks like it gained about 12-15hp from it once mapped

Gaz are hideous

owners did most of it to be fair, just needed some improvements and finishing off. There was a build thread on here ages ago with a hideous exhaust manifold (that's now been replaced by a lovely custom one)

genuine new only Think I might have a pair of used ones that i put lowering springs on to replace when the front pair broke. Where are you?

mole grips, tight as fuckety f**k. you'll have to replace the fitting though

doesn't have an idle valve then, it's electronic throttle. could be the throttle body, an air leak, or a multitude of loom issues on that engine. Diagnostics is the only way forward really

what car?

yes APT have a 4wd DD. Bit of a treck, but I've been to a few RR days over there. Gary used to work for SCA until about 2004

need to see where the pipes attach on the back of the plenum

yes different length (have i typed that enought times yet?) you need cup packed to achieve what you want. NOTHING else will work. End

aahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha In 200sx circles, they're known as the cheapest 50bhp you'll ever get APT. Gary will look after you http://www.ap-tuning.co.uk/
