agree with above, just looks ditched, lol!
however intrigued by non res centre, may source one for my janspeed as love a bit of rasp and if there's no real drone increase....happy days
did you buy new from ktec?
there's loads chap, there's technically 3 phases too, as the very early are the only true phase 1, 1992 - 1994 was phase 1.5

as most have said, just look what you can afford within budget
personally I would always plug for the earlier cars, 172/182 as the consumables, servicing etc are just cheaper and they're better on fuel too, the 197 and above are just too heavy imo
if I was on the hunt for a cross over road and...
tidy looking phase 2! the 16" actually suit it too, mine used to be 449 blue and ran 16" turini in a previous life and looked okay n all
however my other xerus grey one looked odd on the larger wheels! weird!
my rattle is fine but the cars a track car so usually other parts of it are louder when its used in anger and on trackday commutes I'm headphoned up on the Walkman anyway :)
may try the lead shot thing though perhaps
on the mk1 the rears are cheap anyway as they are just a pair of shocks and you use the torsion bar to adjust ride height
if you buy a coilover kit you will get new rears with it, and always worth changing if your going to the trouble of upgrading the suspension, false economy not to tbh for...
limited stuff left for mk1 now tbh, personally i'd go road based coilover like a FK Highsport kit and just set to whatever height you desire
ran FK's for years and even with the car lowered by fair bit they ride pretty well and are a decent road based coilover imo
ai tbh RR is never a great base for real world performance, but if it goes well gives you something to shout about!
all I know is the car feels better on track with the RS2 than it did without, power spread is better, use gears for longer even if outright power isn't that much up
ah Christ that's been butchered, mine uses a small hole and a adaptor tube off the idle valve, didn't have the valve bodged directly onto the manifold!
mine ran 193bhp and 160lbft ish iirc on stock engine and exhaust manifold. planning to 182 exhaust manifold and 197 cam it with group n timing...
should be relatively straight forward, if its been on a phase 1 and phase 2 then just bolt her up, connect what you have to it in a logical fashion and block up any holes left
mine was similar, been on both but most recently on a phase 1 and I fitted it to phase 1, was dead easy just bolted it...
just speak to Paul @ RDP (he's able to post fluids again now) for everything and yes i'd do the box oil if its not been done before, its cheap and easy to do
right spoke to him, he used 172 stub axle and caliper/disc but the central hub and wheel bearing from the valver pressed into it.
then machined 2mm off the mating face of the 172 stub axle where it bolts to the strut as the valver strut flanges are closer together. also drilled out the strut to...
