Re: Mk1 F4R/172'd Track Car Project
I chopped the rear upper mount of the headlight off, then used that hole for the pin. You have to chop the mount off to give you enough room behind for the pin nut/washer to fit...

Bloooor came down this morning as he wanted his K-Tec short shifter swapping for a different one - as the K-Tec one was rattling and he didnt like the feel of it.

Yeah, you have to use a T-Piece on the front of the engine - so you can run the oil pressure switch and oil pressure sender from the same hole (Back in Feb/March 2009 in this thread).... Oil level/temp works too, just gotta swap the sensor from the front of...

The other day I did the drivers side, then got to the passenger side and the coilover would not budge, the height...
£50, f*ck me!
It depends weather people want to spend alot of cash on something they can get elsewhere for tenner from suppliers on here. Other thing is Pug 406 2.0 stuff is the same and only a couple of quid from the factors.
Couldnt really tell, only ran it for about 15 seconds then turned it off due to the oil leak. Once thats fixed we'l be able to tell if its sorted it or not..
Timing was spot on checked it all again.....
