In an ideal world the entire package should be tuned as one, and the spring rates are normally one of the last things to be settled on. Damper rates/frequencies, camber, roll centres etc etc are all calculated and corrected first.

^^^^do a google search for bump steer gauge and copy the design idea would be my advice for measuring camber change Steven103 It will keep your readings consistent.

Yeah that's definitely a solution mate. Means you can bin off the Marelli ecu and replace it with something more user friendly, and more importantly, up to date.

Tested the inlet on a cylinder head I assume?

The biggest issue you'll come up against is trying to find someone to map the magneti marrelli.

Wanna buy a mint low mileage set of v2's?? I'll be taking mine off soon.

No mate I don't. It's around 10mm front to back when I last measured it.

Ah I see! Lol!

I'm searching but drawing a blank?? Any links?

Yes mate the 70/80 still applies as I figured it was the rear coilover setup that you had. What's the primary use of the car mate? If it's mainly road use I'd be very tempted to run an 80 front and a 60 rear. You could even start with the 80 fronts first and see what it's like. I know that KW...

I'm surprised you haven't had an inlet manifold on a flow bench to see where the restrictions are tbh. It's 100% not the tb that's for sure. I know because I've tested one.

Same can be said for the rear as well chip. Whitelines don't work as good as everyone's led to believe.

From my own experience 60 fronts allow too much body roll and it feels like front end is falling over itself, but it's all personal preference really. A lot comes down to what the car is used for as well. If it's road use I quite like the 60/40 setup (I have had this) but if it's used on track...

Increase the front rates to 70/80 and up the rears to the same. You will also find that a lot of body roll is induced by the roll centres if the car is lowered by a significant amount.

Lol! He is buying an engine that cost over 10k to build though so I'll let him off!

Yeah no worries mate. Nah been waiting on my mate paying for the engine as he's had to pay for it on instalments!! Lol! Once the engines out, the big strip will commence!

It certainly was mate. 420hp, 174mph top speed (limited by the 5spd box) and looked like pretty much every mk3 Astra gsi out there! Lol! Took a few by surprise and used 3 lanes of the m1 to keep in a straight line when given the 2 bar boost treatment. Lol! Then along came a little 53 plate cup...

You still can if you come round one afternoon! Lol! It's sat out the back doing nothing other than me waiting to remove its 420hp heart. Thanks! It's a 50ltr tank mate. I can deliver also. ;)

Look at this bad boy Gray!! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?689289-Custom-made-fuel-tank Knowsit dan!!

I've got a nice fuel system that'll work perfectly in your meg mate. ;)

Fred.

Yes mate - without doubt.

Yeah that's the ones mate.

Lol that's fcuking ingenious!! I may look at buying one of them when I buy another house!

I have a full 197 engine in bits in my loft currently along with some tasty performance parts. The part of the loft it's in means its directly over the top of the bathroom, namely the bath itself. Oh how I chuckle to myself when the wife goes for a bath and lays there staring at the ceiling. If...

You don't need to fill the rack with fluid..........if you loop the pipe over on the top of the rack and drain the original fluid out, there's enough lubrication given by the remaining oil.

Yeah natalie was the same up until the point when boxes started turning up! Got rumbled! Lol!

You'll need to do 2 things then mate: 1) start early and sweet talk Helen that you'll be building an engine! 2) start saving! F4r tuning don't come cheap! Lol!

Yeah makes sense to me mate.

I like the sound of this mate! We will soon have that box stripped and 3rd gear sorted too. It does mean that I'll have to get the R3 engine sorted though if your fitting cams! Lol!
