My spec:
- phase 1 60k engine (stock internally bar cams)
- A/C and Power Steering deleted
- 197 cams with 8 degree inlet advance
- 197 injectors
- 182 exhaust manifold
- single box 2.25" system
- RS2 Inlet with stock cable throttle body
- EFi remap
As you can see, flat torque curve, pulling...
these days I've given up with cheap fixes, for sake of what 180 quid i'd launch a new geniuine on it
does it not need belts too? roll it up with that job
2001 didn't, only the early cars did to my knowledge
My late 2000 titanium didn't, it was steel
my current 2001 didnt, it was steel as well but I have since replaced it with an alloy one
That's the one I have, fitted it few months back and yet to have an mot. It initially threw the eml light as well but after resetting few times seems fine now.
may just need the linkage adjusting correctly, search on here, theres a guide somewhere on how to logically go about it. not difficult really but some people seem to find it a bit of a fiddle
hehe, no worries chap, just love that gif so any excuse really!
I've never had one 'walk away' even when I've used the daily on track. unless its a very obviously modified one. Stock for stock there isn't much in it
awful, how dare you use description to identify people, unacceptable
they were non-denominatory, gender fluid, ethically diversified fridge freezers in a generic, non-descript vehicular carriage
All about supply and demand, nothing new, cars get rare as they get old and cost more, simple really. Market for mk2's is now a sellers and will remain so, it happens to all decent niche market segment vehicles. Move from buyers to sellers market and prices go up
Yeah they're just heavy, put new one in mine and within 20k miles, heavy again
Low bite point however is more of a concern, could be cable stretch or could be clutch on the way...
unless you're a total wheelman, right on the limit of the cars capability and competing in a competitive environment... Just stick with 54mm, loads less hassle for a cheap road car you may chuck on track occasionally
