Mines stiffer than that mick (ooh er!) and it doesn't make the car skip.

You need to be selling it with your pinion gear as well mate ideally. They are a matched pair.

What's that mean in English then? Lb/ft or Newtons.

What are the spring rates? Front and rear?

More than fast enough for a clio imo.

They're quite awkward things to weld tbh mate. Normally the heat from welding causes tension elsewhere so they crack again. Need em in the oven so everything's at the same temperature.

You'll get there mate. Just takes time and patience.

Is yours running now mate? Or you still getting cooling issues? Thanks!

It looks a lot tighter than it is in reality mate. There's not acres of space, but it's acceptable. It's no wizards sleeve. Lol

I've painted the inside of the carbon black to disguise it as well. No one needs to see what's what with the bonnet on!!

Thanks! Lol! It's how superdry polo shirts are! The collars are stiff as f**k so I leave them popped. :wink:

@M.C.. here you go - Can you see the inlet!

Exactly mate. No it's already been modified to suit mate. This inlet has been fitted to my original engine so I could get the majority of the fettling done. It all fits nice and subtle. :wink:

Yeah too right! Had to resist the temptation to shim the diff using the original shims earlier on tbh, but there's no point doing all this work to then cut corners. That's not how I work.

Cheers mate. I'm very very pleased with it! Lots of smiles in the garage this afternoon!

I'll just stick with R3 maxi stuff. If R3 maxi evo stuff comes up at sensible money I might have to consider it though. Or just buy it from r-sport. :wink:

Yeah quite annoying that they're different tbh! You'd need a redtop 30 battery ideally as a 25 would be too small. There's a x85 cup racer battery and cage for sale in the for sale section! No mate eBay special that I've adapted for my car. Cheers Sonny! Oil cooler is tiny mate, but it's a...

Cheers mate. :smile:

50's will see you good for 280. Go hard or go home. Lol!

Big. Dinner! Lol

Lol! Your mums gonna pay for that when I'm climbing off her again. :wink:

I rest my case! Battery relocation is simple as well tbf. There's probably enough space in the scuttle panel for a battery to fit in? No mate no problems at all. The flanges are all the same across the range. Interestingly though, the 197 head is wider than the 1*2 one. Only slightly, but it's...

I don't have it easy! I'm running a 197 head remember! Atpower or Titan are the only ones who offer ITB's off the shelf for the 197/200 and they're only 45mm butterflies. Nay good!

Done a bit more today. I'll just leave these here. Now don't go getting excited! There's still no gearbox in there, so the majority of that lot is coming back out. I just wanted to see what it looked like. Lol! I've done the bulkhead heat shield today so the engine was removed to get better...

I'll have another update in a minute which shows the reason why I don't like ITB's. Lol! If there was a decent base manifold available I'd possibly consider them, but I'm not interested one bit in fabricating one. Shame Jenvey don't do them really.

Don't waste your time or money with TDF mate. Do your research first. Trust me, you'll regret it otherwise.

Nah you need the bottom section as well mate. The lower one on the 1*2 doesn't come undone.

It still amazes me that most manufacturers still don't recommend changing the oil in the gearbox! Whilst they don't get as much hammer as the engine, they still see a lot of heat. #bullshit button! Lol!

Very kind of you to say. Thanks.

I'm a Jägermeister man! :wink:
