My new car....CAUTION: Horses inside...

[Sheilas’ Wheels]

Has it blown up yet?

Sorry to disappoint, but nope...they're not French after all

They have a well deserved reputation I know, but it only happens if you don't look after them properly. Ive had plenty, and rally them too, so know them, and how to treat them

I thought they all blew up at 70k? Nearly as reliable as MG ZRs for head gasket failure?

Total myth....I love how these sort of rumours get about....like any car, look after them and they're fine.

I did blow the head gaskets on my old one...that'll teach me for running 1.5bar boost on standard fibre gaskets

 

[Djw Dave]

Wow. Thats some decent power, i was always worried about my standard one blowing up.

Enjoy!

Any kind of diff controller?

 

[VeinAST]

Looks tidy but the engine bay looks so confusing!

Yeah it's a Type R so runs DCCD (driver controlled centre diff) and also runs Cusco plated front and rear diffs.

The engine bay is a bloody mess.....will be getting sorted out soon!
