exhaust popping
on full throttle runs im getting a popping, I think its coming from the exhaust. it goes from around 4500rpm upward, doesn't always do it. :S just worried its dett but from my experience that tends to sound like a ticking in in the engine high up. any ideas? I don't think its shooting flames.

Tyred of these questions but
no there wont, the car and most cars are sold with equally sized wheels all round. infact staggered setups are more prone to issues than those which are equal

turbos after decats
Its all to do with seal wear and breather condition. The backpressure from the cats masks the overpressure created in the sump by crap breathers.
-
Tyred of these questions but
225 is the stock jspec width all round, uks have wider 245 rears. it would be well worth checking all the alignment before you get carried away, mine was way off orginally. Put the stock wheels on and realigned it all and what a difference.
