Lol! Never seen them for the 197! They look awesome! Cough cough! Not.

If it's the R3 maxi exhaust manifold it might add some extra hp, but I can't see 12bhp if I'm honest.

The reason why the rears would need to be stiffer than the fronts is due to the motion ratio. The original rear spring position is a lever with a ratio of around 2:1, so the 250lb rear springs are actually only 125lb as that's what the wheel see's due to this lever ratio. If it's a coilover rear...

I find there's near enough zero idiots on TF at the 'ring these days mate, so please don't let that put you off. Even driving round the 'ring at slow speeds is enjoyable. That way you get to experience the sheer pace at which some cars come past you and disappear off into the distance! It still...

Use the verniers for a Williams mate. They work on the f4r.

Do you have any pictures of the pressure regulator? You might be able to get away with giving it a little crush in a vice to increase the fuel pressure. Sounds crude - which it is, but they used to do it all the time on the vauxhall let motor running eds management.

Re: Road/Track 172 I know Harvey Gibbs. One of my engines was mapped on his engine dyno. :clap:

No mine doesn't click mate at all.

custom cages one will 100% require the removal of the seatbelts up front as the roll over hoop sits right in front of their location.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Definitely mate! The more the merrier!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' There may be a possible solution to your requirements mate. Doubt anymore rc kits will be done though unless there's substantial interest. I'll be definitely taking a ring trip next year mate, as long as my wife's not in the pudding club! Lol! We are...

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Sounds like your making good progress with this oli!

Custom cages cage is extremely close fitting in certain areas Tom, so you will have to modify certain trim and almost definitely remove the headlining.

We met him at the ring one year when he was driving the jag xfr and stuff round. Offered to take him for a real lap in the cup! Lol! Nice bloke tbf.

Apologies if this is a repost. Twin engined Mini Cooper s! http://youtu.be/7YL7pURth3o

Ktec do them don't they? Failing that get a focus zetec one and adapt it to fit. They bolt on so it hangs the coilpack over the end of the inlet cam, which is the same as the ktec one.

This is my contribution! http://youtu.be/PQytPHXBYXY

you need to check your steering rack bushes mate as if they're worn it will allow the steering rack to move, and even just a small amount of movement adds up to a big difference. Also worthwhile checking your steering arms for play. Jack it up one wheel at a time, hold the wheel in the 3-9 o...

The top picture is correct. The bottom picture looks like an Ast top cap. They usually come with a spacer and bearing. Or at least mine did when I bought the Ast top mounts.

I wouldn't worry too much about the change in direction for the airflow. It will make near as damn it no difference mate. Look at the original inlet - restrictive and a change of direction, yet still they make the numbers with a suitable cam/piston package.

No mate that's 100% not correct. Take it back to whoever did it and get them to sort it.

Does for me?

:lolup: Or even why would you reply to a thread from 2004 in 2013?! Flol! :lolup:

I vote anthracite! The gold looks pretty damned good as well tbf. Works very well with the silver.

Do a google image search for R3 exhaust manifold mate and you'll see what I'm getting at. It looks night and day different to the original 197 manifold. It's a proper race spec bit of kit. So is the pms one.

I think you'd struggle to fit the R3 manifold mate due to space confinements. They're a 4-2-1 with really long primaries and they don't look like they follow the same path as a 1*2 manifold. They're serious £££££ to buy as well unfortunately. Possibly your best option is to buy a 2nd hand 197...

I know a guy with a lot of spares for the sadevs so I'll ask him what stuff he's got if your interested? He's got s**t loads of gear.

It can be, but not in all circumstances. Shape can be more important than size also.

Correct, you would have to re-drill the block to suit the jc5 pattern. Cam followers are an issue over 8k or if the engine spends majority of its time in the upper rpm (you say yours is a race engine so I imagine this to be the case). I've heard of them breaking and also flipping off the...

Exhaust ports on the majority of f4r's is small mate other than the ph1 172 from what I've seen. They all have the same size valves though in the 2ltr range.
