Re: Installing a Phoenix Power IC without dropping the engine.....
Thanks Fellas - Luke that's reassuring - many thanks.
I have no aircon so that is no problem and I removed the engine hanger over the timing belt already.
I've got a Spal puller already lined up......
Happier now

Installing a Phoenix Power IC without dropping the engine.....
I've hopefully managed to bag myself a PP intercooler. I have an ARC intercooler in at present that was a git to get in but nowhere near the size of the PP core which is massive. Has anyone managed to get the PP in without dropping the engine? I can't drop it so have to find a way of slotting it in ...

Re: sw20 throttle body and TPS
Thanks for the reply mate. I will pass as I don't want to risk another one that has issues with idle speed. I'm sure it is fine but really need one that is known to be OK.
Good luck with sale

Re: [FINALIZED] Rev 3 turbo complete bottom end - perfect runner
That's perfectly understandable mate, I'm sure it will sell for 300 too - good option for someone without the cash to go forged.

Re: [FINALIZED] Rev 3 turbo complete bottom end - perfect runner
This is cheeky I know as you have already reduced it but I would happily pay £200 and organise a courier if you could bring yourself to get shot of it for that? My bottom end is a bit smoky on full chat and although it pulls well I wouldn't mind a backup in the shed. Given it is now a very old bit o...

Re: sw20 throttle body and TPS
Is this from your rev3 Turbo? Presumably idling was OK before you broke the car?
If so I will take it, please PM details.
Cheers

Re: Laser Alignment
I don't have a print out as it was done by hand unfortunately. As for suspension components, all bushed upgraded to poly type, all ball joints are less than 2 years old and max. 500 miles, coilovers have been bench tested and confirmed as fine. I think I need to get it somewhere that can do a laser ...

Re: Laser Alignment
I'm running road legal semi slicks that are brand new - Federal 595rsr.
I chucked on my winter wheels, 16x7 & 7.5 with regular Sumner tyres which made it even worse.

Re: Laser Alignment
Yeah the RCA's effectively un-lower the car in terms of suspension geometry. Front wheels are 17x8 et35 with 215 40 17 tyres and the rears are 17x9 et38 with 10mm spacers and 235 40 17 tyres. Its twitchy driving down straight roads. Before the alignment it felt like it was a 4 wheel steer vehicle bu...

Fairly low - 15mm approx clearance at the top of the arch but I also have RCA's installed all round and dropped track rod ends at the front to counter bump-steer
