You could possibly go lower on the rear, front is spot on tbh.

If you fit them at the height they're set at everything should be pretty balanced :) just get the tracking sorted when it's all together and have some fun!

Better on motorways for cruising, noticably slower acceleration.

Last weekend I got the engine in after heat wrapping the manifold, got all the suspension and brakes back on, started trial fitting the cage and interior etc. and now I might break the whole thing back down! Tried a potential new car out yesterday and quite liked it. Very different from the...

I wouldn't bother with the R26 head, I'd keep the 172 head and cams then get a Gen90 ecu with a clio turbo base map. No need to mess around with wiring and the dephaser then, its all standard.

@TarkMalbot have you got a spare one I could have off you?

That's the wire I'm missing! Haven't got that on mine, must have been removed.

Interesting!

Ooft! Worse than my rust!

Pre-DPF 2.0 TDCI Mk2 Focus. I did 170k in that car in 7 years. My mate now owns it and its on 190k. Great handling and comfort on the Eibach pro kit and cheap to run. Used to get 68mpg if I really tried and 52mpg driving everywhere like a ****, so it usually got 52. I thought it was so good...

The thought of taking the bottom dash out gives me nightmares. I cheated and left it in place but loosened the dash cage off, meant I had to cut around the heater though.

Did you manage to sort a drive shaft out? I've got one if not.

Nice update! Dit you try anyone else for the shock rebuild to reduce that 2 week wait?

Don't know yet, need to swap the flywheel and gearbox over. Might heatwrap the manifold too. Are you exhaust ports still standard size on your 197 head?

Long day but both engines and boxes are out at last!

Can't wait to see what it makes Mark, should be good!

Bought a cup with no radio. Fitted a new aerial base but I can't see where this connects...

They'll be in excess of 20kg each with the frames.

I've got a Zeitronix gauge to fit in mine, shows 4 parameters at once. Less in your face than the plx one.

I've ordered the 5k bulbs, I've got some SMD sidelights knocking around I can try to see if they match nicely, if not I'll try the others. Thanks for your help @MRBILLYUK

I turned up at the garage and it was in the ghetto. The wife looked over at me and just said "get us out of here" so I promptly spun around and set off home. I'm looking at trying one out a bit more local to me asap. I was supposed to go this afternoon but work is a bit heavy today and I can't...

Has the bracket snapped? It stays in place but loses tension because it snaps at the hole by the block.

RS Turbo

I've looked at a few threads on here but can't seem to find the comparison I'm looking for. I bought a pair of xenons and fitted them tonight and it turns out they have different temperature bulbs. One looks yellowish which I assume is OEM and 4300k? The other is slightly blue and I'm guessing...

They're in 'season' now.

Will do :) RC5+ don't and are a much better pad than the DS2500. The DS3000 and RC6 do though. I'll personally never use DS2500 again after they glazed at Oulton, they would fade for me on the road too. The RC5+ have a wider operating temperature, better brake coefficient and easier to clean...

I could be tempted to part with my mint pro race 1.2s with AD08R for the right money. Car looks great in Storm Grey, I followed Faxos thread so I know you got a good car. Also consider some better pads for the front like RC5+, RC6 or DS3000.

Oh well! Bit late now :( might help others with rusty sills though

If one cylinder is different on a pair of bodies and they have come from a running car the likelyhood is an engine issue whether its compression, fuel or spark. When setting mine up orginally I had one cylinder out, and when all my cylinders came out at 195psi I changed the injector and all was...

Have you compression checked all the cylinders and made sure all the injectors are working properly? Cylinder 1 being low could be either of those reasons.
