Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] t3 adaptor

XSpower do one that doesnt fit. If you do get it, you need to take about an inch of length out of it, and then move the wastegate flange. I had to do this... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/keithmcc/XSManifoldAdapterFarce11.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/keithmcc/XSManifoldAdapterF...

I've found they are actual aluminium 'coins' and I'm in the process of polishing them to a mirror finish. I'll get some better pics up. :thumleft:

Re: Lining the ST205 Charge Cooler up on a Rev2

Yup, that's it. It's almost as if the bosses on the gearbox were made for the CC pump too - shame I've got an oil filter on mine. #-o As regarding the in & out on the core, in is nearest the bulkhead and out is nearest the boot lid. So the in takes the 'cold' from the radiator and the 'warm' fee...

Re: Lining the ST205 Charge Cooler up on a Rev2

:oops: I've just remembered who PMed me when I was on holiday! Sorry Steve...

The ones I've done in the past have always been a little misaligned. There's never been a problem. One of them did 403bhp, so it can't be too upsetting for the flow!

Have I redeemed myself? :whistle:

Re: Grooved disc brake question

It's been covered before this one... At length!

My opinion (not that it counts!) is when you look at the top half of the disk it should spiral out towards the rear of the car. I've fitted lots like this on numerous cars without problem. :pray:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Wide Tyres and lowering the car.

Also when lowering the car it doesn't lower the perch of the strut just above the wheel? Nope, you lose a little damper stroke instead. Well strictly speaking, unless you maintain the exact same rolling radius then you will get a slight change in height between perch and wheel. :oldtongue: Those ca...

It will give 4mm more clearance. Dropping to a 215/40 17 will give you 8mm more clearance than the 235/40.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] need new inserts on my billies...how long are they?

Nope...

But saying that, standard rebuilds are black too. Feel around the top of the strut (inside the spring) for a big hex head. Guessing the size... 60mm. :-k

If they are rev2 turbo standards, they'll be Billies.. :?
