Re: REF engine mounts

I am using the superflex (yellow) bushes, these are a bit too tight to be honest and make the car shake when at idle :) They rock on hard launches though.... :) Think the pair were £35 - £40 for front and rear mounts (£18 each or so) from grahame good racing, he does a PDF brochure of the mounts.

I use the car day in and day out and its done about 20k with this engine and all the ones i have done i...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] rev 2 head. Change cams or head

the port spacing is diffrent so it wont work and thottle body is not 6mm bigger. having more air go in to the middle of these manifolds is a waste as it leans them out even more. mounting the thottle on the end is the only real safe option. if looking for more power this is one of the last things t...

Where the marks are you flat the paint with a 2000 grit paper and then buff the paint back up it will look better or if they are not to deep you may not have to paint it .Paul
