any knocking on pulling away, test for knocking on biting point with hand brake.
Excessive movement in top mounts, check how the car sounds when warm for dephaser rattles, have a quick look under the plenum for oil leaks and around the cam cover. If the fuel rail guards been removed ask why...
I think you're best off speaking to the Burpspeed lads. They're pretty competitive with the teggys on circuit and their car is about 850kg dry weight. Not sure what they're doing this year but it was a standard engine running AT Power throttle bodies and just shy of 200bhp
In short and believe...
Most likely mount will be dog bone. Put the hand brake on as if you were about to do an epic hill start on the biting point, if you can hear it clanging then, it'll be that
No, the less flex there is the more likely it will tramline. Not sure this is the greatest example but imagine rolling a penny in the middle of the road, it will follow the layout and camber, basically it's a similar affect with tramlining. Obviously with your tyres it's not THAT bad but the...
Have you seen a mk2 Clio competition car with 17" alloys?
All cars tramline. Depends on just how much you notice it...I'm just saying running lower profile tyres to fit 17"s on is going to give you a whole lot more
so indecisive! You not thought about getting a small amount and testing on a panel or two? I did this with loads of shades mate, it's the only way imo or you'll just be like you are now, choosing forever.
Excessive tramlining from lower profile tyres especially where the tyre does not have enough flex and the force is transfered into the wheel rim, this is where tramlining will be detectable from the steering wheel. You basically steer and get very little feedback, not as much as you would...
No way could I clock over 400 hours, be bored way before. I'm starting to do the main quest now at level 40 - I'll probably start a new character before I do anything else other than the story.
Depends how you're driving it, should be enough to get the coolant up to temperature. One way to find out, drive it hard and for a little longer lol. Try keeping the heaters off in the morning to aid it a wee bit.
Edit: Apparently the thermostats on 197s can get stuck open, quite common apparently
