Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Rev 2 3sgt3 engine - 3sge square edged block swap

why use a 3S block when the 5S block is more reliable and likely a better base for power / torque... just a thought :-k Not sure how it bolts up to rev2 head etc but they use them in the states (and here) so must be possible

Re: The beautiful roads of Maui (Hawaii)

Re: Brake hardlines and flexi hoses.... help required!

defo secure the rear flexi lines into the wheel arch. I didn't and had a brake pipe failure on the hardline under the body which i put down to the hardline flexing because no bracket. Lucky for me the pipe broke on the run to the Applecross and not on the Applecross!
