100% right, I overlooked that slightly haha
Doesn't seem to be a happy medium towing with a van. They can either tow next to nothing or a decent weight.
Its well worth just doing the trailer test, least you know what to expect if youve never towed or reversed with a trailer before and keeps your...
If your trying to get round it without doing trailer test then be careful if going for a larger van.
Trafic with a towing capacity of 2000kg will only leave you 1500kg for trailer, car and anything else you would like to carry. Will likely involve getting trailer downplated in order to stay...
Main brands out there are brian james and ifor williams. Also got indespension and woodford but dont see so much of these.
For a decent sized trailer in good condition expect to pay £1500-£2500 depending on age
I have an ifor williams ct136hd, 13 x 6 foot and can carry 2100kg, 2700kg gross

I have seen alot of changes in spectator safety in the scottish rally championship over the last 10 years. Unfortunately there was a few fatalaties which drove the change
Its alot more tightly controlled, more marshalls moving on people and alot of areas where there is no spectating at all...
Do you have any pictures to explain? Only differences between inlet manifolds that I am aware of is the different breather system but doesn't affect the general appearance of the manifold
Probably just dirt and siezed onto the pipe and wont spin freely. Either cut it or just keep turning till it shears
Once its cut you'll probably get a socket on it aswell and make things alot easier
Can sometimes get round it by fitting a jacking beam / box section steel to bridge the gap and give you something to work off of but again it will eventually just get in the way of something
Your still very limited with a pit especially for any suspension work or working in the wheel arch area. Pits only good for oil change and exhaust work imo. You'll still end up working on the floor alot
There is one under the scuttle hidden under the wiper linkage, really awkward to get to. That one caught me out. I think there is 4 accessed from the interior footwell. Pure motorsports aircon delete guide was useful when removing mine as it has a write up on removing the heater box assembly
I ran new wishbones on my hillclimb car for a few years, just changed to powerfkex black series over the winter but yet to drive the csr in anger due to covid and no season yet so cant comment unfortubately
May be better just to buy 2 x new cup wishbones and least you know then they are right and everything is fresh. Definitely looks like there is difference but may just be with the camera angle etc. Easiest way is to see the holes directly with the wishbones and ball joints removed
Ah, I thought you were referring to the size and shape of the ph1 airbox inlets which are both circular but it was the ones on the car
Like you said, most standard ducting is now really brittle and broken up, I still have it in my ph1 but it has started to part lower down.
I would just go...
Are air speeds and the flow characteristics really going to have that much of an affect on a relatively standard engine? You may just be over complicating things for yourself
I thought both the feeds on the airbox was the same, circular and the standard ducting has a plastic piece on the end...
And you'll have to do the belts on the replacement engine anyway so you would be aswell spend the money and time on your original engine as you know its history
Destroy your original engine, buy a replacement engine, throw a belt kit on it and fit itand then it throws a bearing on your next...
Cant remember off the top of my head when removing mine but wasn't overly complicated
Have you looked on the pure motorsport website at their guide as it is quite helpful
Does it look like the bolts hold it in, can you see a split on it where it would seperate if you removed the bolts on the side?
Bought some sealey sockets and torx / allen bits off their big container stand at autosport.
Some of their new stuff is quite nice and it came with lifetime warranty aswell
If you can get a trade card it really helps with the halfords prices
If the car is left outside you could use the solar panel trickle chargers to keep it topped up?
I have a ctek charger I use to keep my smaller pc680 battery topped up over winter, its on an isolator switch aswell so doesn't drain itself
That belt works fine for me using the turn buckle tensioner above with cup alternator and top bracket. Everything else is standard. Just remember run the belt 1 rib away from the engine as it can rub on the cambelt cover apparently
Are you looking to just delete pas rather than replace with epas?
If so then you can remove all the power steering lines along with the pump. And fit the following kit to your existing rack
