Thanks Lee, can see a few more in the background

Indeed that is the biggest problem right now but things are starting to happen and there are various places starting to reproduce most of the common parts.

Hey guys, I use to be around here for the tech stuff as I 2j swapped a load of cars, am an engine builder and work with the r154 and v160 transmissions (never owned a mkiv ). A lot of my customers are telling me I should get back on here as there is a need for v160/1 repairs? Iv been stripping and rebuilding these boxs for around 8 years now, it was quite a surprise to me when I recently spoke to one of the traders on here and they said “no one in the U.K. specialise in these gearbox’s”. So obviously I know there are trading rules here, if you guys think there is enough demand and it’s ok with the club then I will look at becoming a trader. Many thanks Paul

IV vented into the exhaust tail pipe before at 45degs, had gains of 5-10hp. Venting it into the intake system is not ideal, oil vapour lowers the octane rating of the fuel once in combustion chamber. Ok on a low spec car but big power it's a no no.

Big case conversions normally work out £500-600 iirc.

How much? Have to change the prop and shafts with them don't you? It's a customers car, I don't think he's going to budget for a big case, though he'll have to if he keeps blowing small case lol

Ash rang you on my behalf lol. I have an originally auto 6spd manual here, with a blown diff. I want to know if the a02b is the correct replacement as if found one.

A02b

As above really, what's a small 6spd diff worth?

Cheers guys

SRD? where do i find these? UK states? Has any one tried the GSC cams?

Will be doing an engine refresh over the next month or two, currently running a gt35/86 at 675hp on totally stock engine. Bottom end is sorted, going forged .5 over size, rods, bolts bla bla bla The head, will have full Supertech valve train..... but im unsure what cams to go for, was initially thinking HKS 264 but im not sure theyl be too tame! But saying that im not really looking for any more top end power, just want to make it more lively. Iv found so many options out there and im guessing there are more than that too..... I did have a search but my search skills are prety weak!

Had a good day! Used 8 tyres and only went on track 4-5 times! Thanks for having me guys

Got another one of these for sale, with no harness but with both map and air temp sensors. Open to offers.

No stronger really, as it's shock loading that brakes the washer. Even the uprated washers still can't take a hole load of abuse. The stock ones are too tough and this makes them brittle, uprated washers are not so brittle but wear out faster due to the properties.
