The 5th gear ratio on the pms website is the gear ratio you're after mate.

Finding it too high? Jc5 106 5th gear will help that. I have part numbers somewhere if you need them.

For what you're doing I'm amazed that you're not finding them too soft tbh. Only way to get the rear lower is custom rear springs, or go for coilover rear.

How you finding the B14's?

Well it'll certainly be interesting to see how much power it makes. When's the build happening?

Lol!

I take it the regular pump fuel ain't so good over in Oz then? Assuming that's the reason you're going for E85?

How's that happen then? You can't put on what's not there if you get me?

I'll be honest, I always thought you could run a higher compression ratio with E85 due to it being higher octane than petrol, and the fact that it also runs cooler. Not sure those 423's will like the 11.1:1 ratio, as they're normally much happier running in the 12's. I've seen them make the...

Why 11.8:1 compression ratio out of interest? And head machined to desired compression ratio? What's that mean?

*You're. Lol

Unfortunately I'll need a date before I can commit gents.

No that's what the jc5 internals are made of. 😂

Yup, as mentioned above I can rebuild them.

Either linkage adjustment or it's internal I'm afraid.

Kind of yeah, but the preload is set with a shim

I'm afraid it's all done by feel mate.

Oh my.

Preload for bearings? Or preload for ramp angles? If it's the former, you set it up using shims. If it's the latter, you can't do it on those types of diff. They're a plate diff only job.

130nm for the nut and 85nm for the bolt.

And still not enough plenum volume/clearance!!

That looks to me like it's on the surface of a seam, so I'd be pretty confident to say that the tin worm is set deeper in than it's showing. Only real way to tell how far into the qtr panel it is, is to remove trim panels and stuff.

Yeah no rear seats are where your issue lies mate.

Well it does look a tad high for saying it's on cooksports. Spacers will numb the steering feel if you go too big, but it all depends on how you drive it I guess

You either need to double nut them to wind them out, or do they have an Allen key head on them? Only other option is a proper stud extractor tool.

No problem at all mate! And lol yeah I get what you're saying, so no offence taken buddy! At work we've been warned about all the car jacking that's going off atm (work for BMW), and it is unfortunately part and parcel of the world we live in, and the area.

Welcome to the club @Pinchy Larou! I'm in the West Midlands as well. There's quite a lot of us in here! Whereabouts are you? I'm in Lichfield

Need a video of the clicking noise to diagnose. f**k the elf oil off. It's s**t! Redline mtl is the oil to refill with.

If it's not overfilled, there's not much else that can cause it tbh. You could always try lengthening the breather pipe. Renault did this with the later 130 boxes. The internal part of the breather has a Z kinda shape to it to stop this from happening, so it's possible (but unlikely) that it's...

No mate, but I'm working with one of the master techs, so it's all the interesting stuff that I'm seeing opposed to the servicing work. I'll be on training courses next year now.
