Project Dittohead Red
Well as no one seems to know or cares to comment, I did some googling and it would appear this flap thing is factory.

When mechanics becomes art ..
Nah. They've been making equal length runners like that since year dot. Those in fairness aren't that bad, some are mental. Check out this bag of cats.

Twin Turbo Manual Stance Build Thread
Indeed, some of these height adjustable coilovers have spring rates of 13kgmm, up front. For comparison a set of the popular route of Konis fixed height dampers and Ebiach springs will have a rate of around 3.5kgmm! Of corse the damper is important and these huge rates are often used to mask poor dampening. I'm actually reducing my spring rates down to 6-4K front, rear as I don't need the high rates and it makes the car skippy and slower on normal roads.

Ultra Red Build Thread
You can buy a 5L barrel of Dynax S50 cavity wax, which is highly regarded for about £50. Get yourself a lance off eBay for like a tenner and borrow a compressor if you don't own one and flood the cavities.

Probably air in the system, gives a false reading on the gauge. Complete the coolant bleed and fill process and it will go away.

What is the best oil for my upgrade engine
Don't forget guys he is US based, so climate is different and brands may not be available.

Parts needed for manual conversion?
The lower portion is removable so you can undo the Torque Converter from the Flex Plate, otherwise you'd be unable to remove the box. ;)

I looked at it and thought, that's been hacked about. Then looked again at the fixings and Velcro parts. It's quite a comprehensive hack, kinda sock looking.

Brain fart. Got my brake pedal and clutch pedal mixed up there, sorry Chris.

Not sure you can mix and match like that Ali, the NA pedal like what's come from your Donnor is unassisted and has a different pivot point to compensate. I can't say for sure but I'd guess fitting the NA arm into the TT frame would end up with different height pedals. Now that would be chip shop.

I think it took me longer to put the fire retardant sheeting down than the cut took, about 2 seconds with a nasty little cutting tool. :devil:

Because it's easy. Why find, purchase another pedal and faff about fitting it to end up with exactly what you could done in 10 seconds for free. It's like buying half a brick. It offers no structural, functional or practical purpose. In fact all it serves is that should someone remove the rubber cover they may see the cut line. It's not like I'm advocating using some chip shop pedal of a Peugeot that kinda fits but not really. It's the same part with a slightly longer peice of sheet metal that can be trimmed to end up with an indenticle product. If your that hungbup on preserving the cars pedigree then you wouldn't be converting an auto to a manual in the first place. Il tell you this much, you could only know my pedal is cut because I just told you and if you said it was cowboy and devalued the car I'd laugh my ass off and tell you it's a 27 year old Nissan.

Did I? Dont recall that. Don't see why. You only need to bleed if you break the hydraulic system. - - - Updated - - - Disagree.

Free TT hardpipe kit in blue
It still wouldn't of been right tbf. I had an early upper bolted to later lower, bodge job by a third party. In fact it had an early fuel rail as well. I wouldn't recommend it but yeah it would bolt up (I doubt you'd notice, driving wise).

Petition to increase motorway speed limit from 70mph to 90mph
Only if they aren't ready to be there. Just because the test is passed the newly passed learner will still be "fumbling about", just this time without supervision.

Petition to increase motorway speed limit from 70mph to 90mph
Since when Ali? They used to make you do a reverse round the corner, three point turn, hill start and reverse park. No bay park though. Still not fit for purpose.
