Mate stuck one in his mk1 good few years ago, I've been round track in it, it's alright but for the effort not worth it n/a imo. His was about 225bhp iirc so modest increase on stock but doesn't feel any quicker than my mk1 with the 210bhp f4r in it
Up to Mick's today to fit new aux pulley as the old one has seen better days. They're seems to be some reports of these failing now as they're getting older so to be it's a no brainer to swap out for piece of mind.
Misfire reared it's head again so plugged it in and cleared some codes for...
Jesus that graph 😂😂😂
Biggest difference you'll notice when mapped will be smooth power delivery, not that mess! 🤣
Mega how well it actually is doing though for the fact it's ecu from a completely different engine!
Yeah there is a repair loom and newer blue connector sensor too which I've just ordered for my car, but I diagnosed a similar issue by just swapping on a known working sensor to prove.
Misfire cured, was the crank position sensor so fitted a used spare for now. Ordered new blue style genuine one with the repair loom too though so will fit that when it arrives
Fabric painted the flocked dash top as it was looking tired. Still patchy any needs doing again properly really but looks less terrible now.
Reorganised the wiring a little too, just made it all a little bit neater.
And now annoyingly it's developed a misfire so will be chasing that out...
You know me, wheels change more often than the seasons. However in this case you're completely wrong, these are the best suited wheels for the car, FACT 😉
Just been using the car really now, so odd to look back over the thread and always a big job to do or issues, now I'm just jumping in it to grab milk or run to the office on the days I'm in. It's just brilliant to be out and about in it.
Nothing major left to do before Mallory, fitted standard...
Quick bath as sat unloved and unused for month or so whilst the mk1 track car has been in favour. But lent the RB to my sister again as her shitty seat gave up, so odyssey in daily use for a week or two! Such a lovely smooth drive this car now, absolute pleasure to cruise about in.
Nothing on the market for them, I run a modified mk2 whiteline with custom brackets that a mate made up for me years ago but not entirely convinced it does anything as the torsion style rear I think doesn't compliment the whiteline.
Jury still out
they're rubbish really for fitment
ideally you want to take it off completely and check the condition of all the mounts
also with the front sagging like that it looks like could be missing the front tray from the bottom of the bumper to the subframe that acts as a support to keep the front up
Raised the drivers side by 10mm to level it across the front axle and then sent to local place for geo.... Bit of a fight with it as my dremel spec coilover bolt slots weren't exactly analogue in their adjustment plane.... But all good, got 2 degrees neg and 10 mins toe out dialled in up front...
Refitted the lower lb front springs and coilover covers...
Car sits lower now and also dialled a bit of camber out just playing and have some... clearance issues. Nevermind all be sorted when geo gets done Wednesday
