Cup racers ran magneti marelli ecu’s and dash’s. They also ran a coil pack instead of cop as it was more reliable

I’ve got one in the garage so I’ll have a look mate. My R3 maxi spec engine ran on standard mk3 plugs without issue.

I’m pretty sure the crank sensor is the same mate, but there’s 2 types from memory. The plugs on the mk3 are also the 3 prong type. Put a pic up and I’ll confirm on the crank sensor.

Has it solved the clicking??

It’s there for if you run non vvt and a vernier pulley.

I’m afraid they do go at the bottom, so I hope you haven’t been rude to anyone on YT mate! I can only think you’ve not got the crank pin in the correct position.

You’ve got the cams 180 out mate. The little half moons should be at the top on the cams when you put the timing tool in.

Did you turn the bottom end over after you’d built it up? As in before the cylinder head went on.

Well @Lewigi_69 congratulations on your effort. You’ve successfully managed to get a long standing PAYING member of Cs to deactivate his account due to your ‘standards’ being different to his. You sir, can take yourself and your thread and f**k off. This forum prides itself on being a friendly...

I also opted for a Quaife over a gripper when I had my cup............and I rebuild boxes! Lol!!! My Quaife decision was because I cbfa taking a gearbox out of a mk2. Whilst a gripper offers significant benefits, it didn’t out weigh my bone idleness. ?

Bring them to my work and I’ll sort it mate.

Why don’t you just de pin the plugs? That’s all I did on mine.

Yeah I’m meaning a ph2 172 standard cat mate. Put a wanted ad up for a 182 cat and have it chopped and welded in. Best of both worlds then!

Don’t put atf in the box. It’ll f**king ruin it. GL4 oil is what you need and I recommend redline mtl or redline mt90 for the jc5’s as it protects them from near enough the biggest bell end drivers. Almost anyway.

The btb stealth is a great exhaust! I had one on my old cup. Bore size is 2.5” and they’ve fitted a standard 172 cat to your Ph1 as the ph1 exhaust is slightly shorter. You could buy a 182 cat and get that cut and shut into the place of your original cat, or anywhere that does exhausts should...

@Hazza462 here’s what I made for mine - as you can see it had other functions incorporated.

Mine was more for another function than a sump guard as such tbf, but it was strong with the bracing attached to it.

That plate in the drivers footwell is there to save your ankles from being snapped in a crash. My advice is don’t crash. Lol!!

Mount the oil cooler on rubber mounts mate. The vibrations will kill it otherwise.

Yeah the 197 head would just bolt straight on mate.

Rofpmsl is all I have to say!

Yeah it’ll work but you need to block off the turbo oil drain. 736 won’t work as your gearbox won’t attach to the block.

Lol! There was a tasty 205 that had a 2.2 gti6 motor up front running 290bhp and 223lbft........

What car you looking for in particular?

I ran 0 rake on my old cup. Never noticed any adverse effects on handling whatsoever

There’s a few on Facebook mate. I got these from there of mine

You’d have to have a look mate

@200pedro @youngarthur the only drawback to running no front arch liners will be the amount of s**t that will find its way into the engine bay. You’ll also find that you may well end up getting a lot more stonechips down the side of the car due to to the front wing vents being open, as they...

Not massively busy tbh, but the fact that England were playing Sweden at 3pm quite possibly kept a lot of people away.

Yeah I don’t think I could cope with that! I’m getting all flustered just thinking about it! Lol! I’ve done Oulton, but never Anglesey or Croft. For me I prefer Donington, but Oulton was another rewarding circuit when you got it right. Erm, regards the 200 as a daily, I’d tread carefully...
