Speedo

Ok, so I've looked at the speedo and it only goes from 0 - 110 I'm guessing they might be the wrong one given that gtschris was asking if its a 160 or 180? Any one know what is usual for a rev3 na? Cheers. So what you have there is a 0-180 speedo that someone has stuck a 0-110mph face on top - this...

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Matching Speedo and speed sensor

I have an import rev 2 turbo track car that now has a rev3 NA engine and JDM gearbox. It has UK clocks (I assume - as the speedo is in Mph). The problem is that the speedo massively under reads - not too much of an issue for track use but just a tad frustrating. Does anyone know how I can get the r...

IC side mount

If you're going to upgrade your intercooler, save your pennies and buy a GReddy, Spearco or HKS unit - buy cheap, buy twice! I agree in principle, however most of those kits were discontinued 5~6 years back. Choice of a Greddy copy core new vs 10 year old grotty genuine Greddy core ..... i know wha...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Paddle clutches - which one to get?

After a paddle clutch for my Rev 2, preferably a 6 paddle as its for road use. Want to avoid the cheap ebay ones as I imagine they're not up to much. Was looking at the Helix one on Fensport, but they say it has to be used with the modified or uprated clutch cover and with a new bearing its over £4...
