It'll be heat and the oil not doing its full lubricating job that's caused the tips on the selector fork to melt/wear Russ. I'll be on it for those nuts as well mate - not forgot, just had a bit of s**t on as discussed via text.

Wow! He wants to weigh his neck in at a scrapyard! It must be solid brass! Flol

And so it begins...........................Lol!!

4100 are sportline 1's (which is what I recall @Martin. is on?) and 5100 are the sportline 2's. They're an inverted damper on the 2's. It's also what I've got on my cup. They truly are an awesome bit of kit, but the penis that you have to deal with is, erm, not so awesome. Nice bloke, but...

They're supposed to be bumpy so you don't nod off on long journeys! Lol

Yep. Horrible things. Ruin the scrub geometry if you go to big. Look sick innit bruv at maccys though. I run 6.5x15 turinis and they're et35 and I'm on 205/50 15 R888's. I also have an additional track width widening on the front from the fancy hubs.

What's the effect on the roof? It looks quite good! And I'm not usually a fan of stuff like this. Wrap looks very impressive too! What's the score with the front number plate as well? I'd just run without one and risk the pull by Johnny law!!

Yeah they're the real deal mate.

More than one way to skin a cat mate. Just put the 200 internals in a 1*2 block and convert the 200 head to the 1*2 cambelt setup. That's what I'm doing with mine

Yeah you could do, but the block is different to the 1*2 block. The bolt pattern for the gearbox is also different so it means a different box to the jc5 as well, so that means different shafts. It's not impossible though mate, just requires a little thought and fabrication.

Yeah the standard air box is in a hideous place on them tbh. You'll see benefits from taking an air feed direct from the scuttle panel if it's possible mate

As in itbs or oe inlet? Or airbox?

If you run high comp with 403's you should definitely see somewhere near 230hp. They're a similar profile to the R3 maxi cams I've got for mine. Torque wise your looking at around 170-180lbft which is also similar to the R3 maxi setup. That's based on running the oe inlet and not itbs though...

Surely The answer to that's obvious from my post earlier on this morning?

Good question there mate! The combustion chamber is a different design, but you could replicate it on the 1*2 head. It's a relatively simple machining job, but obviously they all need to have the same volume. To get the ports the same - your fucked. That's the simple truth. The exhaust ports...

Flol! Ah! Maybe that one then! Ha ha! I remember racing one on the way home from the billing show and one of the turbos let go!! Don't think the owner was too chuffed about being out dragged by a standard looking mk3 astra gsi! Doubt the turbo expiring helped either. Whoops!

Yeah just a tad!! Lol! VBOA is vauxhall Bedford owners association mate - they basically have a big show at billing aquadrome. I used to go all the time when I was a vauxhall man. Was a cracking show tbf, more like a social event than a car show.

I take it you'll know/know of David Franczak (sp?) then? His is mint. Seen your dads at the VBOA on several occasions.

It's wilwoods mate not brembos.

Flol!

Lol! Glad your pleased with it mate! I'm also glad to see its not just me with size 7 feet!!! Do you have to buy shoes from Clarks kids range as well?! Flol

Lol! No worries mate.

If you can let me know what your trying to find I can let you know what wires go to where mate in terms of sensors.

If your going that wild you want to go forged hi comp pistons then imo. Stronger than the oe cast items. Also it's worth keeping in mind that the off the shelf itb options are too small and WILL restrict the power output.

^^^^^thats crying out for a scuttle induction kit as well dan! I've got a special airbox for mine.

Do you want itb's on it? To run the constant vvt you need to run the wiring for the cam phase sensor that's in the 197 head. You also need an ecu that can run it, but tbh you may be as well just running it the same as a 1*2 - on/off. I'm only going to run it because I've got some particularly...

Yep! I'm following this as well!

Exactly!

Lol! What have you learnt today?
