Z1 Motorsport - Anyone ordering ?
just get the spec off them bud phone round your local hydroclics palce pick them up for half the price here in the uk without postage. its only a case of finding one the same size but with a higher rebound rate.

Fitting Auto turbos to a Manual

what should i go for and why?
pzeros are pretty good on grip, i have them on the rear. Porsche choose to fit them to their cars. However they do last a mere 10 odd thousand miles and the grip drops off radically when they get below 4mm according to reviews. So they work out VERY expensive. the fk 452s made by falken are often used and are a good "budget" tyre. they are very similar in design and i believe are actually produced in the same factory as dunlops. toyo proxis are again a very well used and appraised "budget" tyre. cant comment on the maxxis but i know marks said before hes a big fan. others on here praise contis and Michelin pilot sports. upto you see what prices you can afford and get the best you can afford and bear in mind what you expect from them. if you go fitting some cheapo budget ditch finders you will soon find yourself finding that ditch :) as for colour, if your gloss paint is spotless. then satin wheels can look the dogs on a gloss black car. gloss black wheels tend to work imo better on grey or red cars.

Will suspension struts from a TT fit onto a SWB? plz
i think the only difference is the stiffness or rebound rate something along those lines due to the weight distrubution. i seem to remeber miester doing lwb and lwb for this reason. but psychcally they would fit depends what you want out the car doesnt it.

Safest psi on stock internals
I agree with pete asumption is the mother and all.... Dont forget 14psi of airfrom those tubs is more air volume by far. Its more the afr you need to get right. If thats wrong the engone will eat itself if its gar enough lean il will chew those pistons on no boostz time to hsve it rr and set up properly and safely vs. getting ot wrong will soon see you joing matks melted piston club. :(

No Modifications/Aftermarket????
Apprantly vosa are kicking of about it themselves saying its impossible for them to be able to identify everything. They dont haveva list of parts for every car ever produced. Small companies like jensen one model to another may have different diffs or carbs etc.

My leak and steam is getting worse!
yeah my money would be on the turbo water line or any of those little blighters. they get hot and brittle behind there which the battery out its way easier.
-
seriously disheartened now and just wanna burn the car help!
Yeah im still not totally convinced its turbos, I'm confident its not combustion chamber related. Pcvs are on the list. Id like to get it diagnosed 100% before I pull the block, but the mot runs out on the 10th and obviously it wouldnt pass so its grounded. Ive got to the point of being disinterested now. I have no car as a result and if fixing the tubs doesnt work I dunno if be able to afford to go further at least for a while. :(
-
FMIC or SMIC ? hmmm
i seem to remeber wheni saw it the fmic on that car sat about an inch lower than the bottom face of the bumper? so yeah i kinda get what you mean. have you changed much on it bob?
-
