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.

Yeah your mums a 2 man job. Lol

Leeroy to busy to do the necessary then I assume? :tonguewink: Flol

I don't leave for work until 9! And I do believe it was a Friday was it not? So that means I was home not blowing s**t up! Lol

Ah I see! There's a lot of that going about atm!! Lol

Surely you didn't expect anything else? Lol

f**king hell! He's gonne need a jcb to grab you cubbington! Flol!:tongueout:

You've not trained him well if a 1.5 dci megane is exciting him! Lol

Have you bought something with wallet friendly tyre sizes?! Lol

No mate, afraid not.

I've got a mint 40k cylinder head with Pistons and rods to suit if that's of any interest? @Tkul88

No RR graphs mate as the engines not gone together yet. R3 maxi Pistons are 3 ring as well mate, so good for a certain amount of longevity, although as with every forged piston they won't like constant cold starts. Cam wise I think only the 403's come close to the maxi cams as well. Not really...

I've got a gen90 sonny, and trust me, they're more than up to the job. Very capable ecu.

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...

Take after my mum mate. Flol

Lol!

Get me a 1ltr bottle of jägermeister and I'll fit your Epas if you want mate. :tonguewink:

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.

I'm pretty sure the part numbers I've got in the R3 catalogue state maxi evo is different for the inlet mate. I'll double check.

They look similar to my R3 maxi pistons mate, just not so much of an intrusion into the combustion chamber.

Straight swap as long as your bores are good mate (82.7). You may need to adjust the head combustion chamber though.

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...

Yeah I can see your logic there mate, and it's a valid point you've got.

Agreed. Rebore may not strictly be necessary though if you've got a block in good order. Obviously needs to be measured before any decisions are made.

All depends on the engine and cam spec. 421's = stick with stock imo.

Cup racers were 20mm wider track per wheel so you need 20mm to be safe mate. There's a few on here that have run the vw box mate and there's custom flywheels available. @Andyrg@ ClioTurbo has done this conversion and I believe can supply the parts you'd need.

1k for forged Pistons is a bit ott mate. You can get piston AND rod packages for £600-£700 from pec if you go to th right places.

What gearbox do you intend on running with? The outer cv joints off a 1*2 will fit the ex cup racer hubs you have as well, so you may just need to get your original driveshafts lengthened or remade. Standard jc5 will be chocolate in a rally car though if you intend on giving it some abuse...

You could enlarge the pockets on the oe Pistons to run 422's or 423's. Iirc you need to increase the pocket depth around 1.5-2mm. But those profiles work better with higher comp ratios. You could always fit a set of 197 Pistons if you really wanted to do it on the cheap and not bother with...

No I forgot!!! Lol! @BIGASH fancy some karting in MK? Lol
