The problem with FFX was they were selling tools at cost and running the business on the quarterly rebates they would get from manufacturers for ordering say £2m of goods in that quarter, the s**t hit the fan when some of the rebates weren't paid on time and they were getting chased from other...

Now f**king hold on there sunny Jim...

Apparently FFX are on the verge of going into administration, Be careful if you're ordering from them.

I'm a Truck mechanic that is handy with the F4R engine, I did it for Jim as I do most of his Volvos but I'm not trying to make a habit out of them.

I'd not done the belts on a A/C car in a while, wtf were Renault thinking with that Aux belt set up.

As long as the pcv valves are changed on the spark plug service and the oil level regularly checked there reliable

They're not that costly to maintain as long as you can do it yourself, they're just awkward as f**k to work on so the big service bills are mostly labour, the engines rarely give much problems and the gearbox is just a 6HP from BMW etc of that era, rear diff's s**t themselves occasionally buts...

The brake system is a diagonal split so you can have more effort on one side to the other through the rear compensator if it's faulty, I would also look at bad corner weights if the car is on coilovers and hasn't been corner weighted and has considerably less load on the corner with the...

I took the Cup for a early morning drive this morning, there's still nothing that can touch them for driver engagement sub £10k.

You need a Renfort plate or fit a 182 diff

Lead shot in the selector rod tube or pms did a weight you bolted to the selector rod, it helps but it wasn't a 100% fix

A clutch is a piss easy job on the Mk7 anyway Also look into the clutch delay valve mod to, it's worth doing regardless.

The timing chain tensioners let go occasionally and water pumps leak fairly often, Also the stereo can just decide it dosen't want to work anymore and they're £500 -1000 to replace. Still bloody good cars though

Or worn synchro's ( usually after low oil level because the offside driveshaft seal is leaking )

Check you have battery voltage down the small wire to the alternator with the engine running, If you do the alternator's toast and needs replacing If no voltage you have a wiring issue on that wire.

Looking for an exhaust for my 172 cup, has anyone heard of GT Performance exhaust from France ? The quality looks decent and reasonably priced .

245nm =180 ft lbs sounds a bit high I would guess 170hp and 150 ft lbs is probably more realistic

Same jets, new float valves gaskets and set the floats to correct height

Someone please Photoshop a Winchester into that picture

Anything that's over 40 years of age becomes mot exempt the following April, The official line is that classic cars are better maintained, in reality there was a massive MOT data transfer a few years back and they couldn't be arsed to do all the older stuff ( most of which only exists in...
