not quite, more advance will give more power but at the risk of more detonation. You will probably find that most 3S's can run at 12deg advance with 99ron fuel.

what did you send him

I just said "Hi, You do realise that what you are selling is a standard 3SGTE flywheel"

Just stating the facts.

Just got the following reply: hi mate, i can assure you that this flywheel has been lightened on the back and who ever wins it will be able to clearly see and tell by the 3kgs taken from it! many thanks So by all accounts he is definitely still claiming that it is a lightened flywheel, still its a b...

Just sent the seller a message stating that its a standard one, lets see what the reply is.

check out you top mounts, the spherical bearings have a tendancy of causing a creaking sound when they are worn out. Basically jack up one side of the car so the front wheel is off the ground then place one finger on the strut nut and then leaver the wheel up and down with a bar, if you feel any mov...

There seem to be a fair few overheating threads on the forums recently and one thing that people always seem to miss suggesting are "the pipes from hell" that run above the fuel tank, which have a tendancy over the years to stress fracture at the mounting points just behind the heat shield...

That's fair enough, my information is from a fairly highly regarded MR2 specialist who has also debated the process with ARP and the idea of the 30 minute gap is to allow the crush of the HG, but as with every engine build people have different ways of doing it, and I was just offering an alternativ...

Then retorque each one individually after about 1500 miles - slacken it off, tighten the stud in again, relube the nut and washer and retorque. I have been informed that this is unnecessary and can be done on the first fitting by once the bolts are torqued up leaving them for 30 minutes (ie cuppa t...

Not suer specifically on the pillow ball mounts but for reference standard top mounts have an arrow on them which MUST point to the rear of the car.

HTH

I personally have a koni SSK kit (springs and adjustable dampeners) and find it great, but then again I like a harsh ride, however many people rave about the tein springs with various different dampeners, have a search and look at the various comments.

That would be a yes in answer to your question, pictures 1,3 and 4 all show the flat circa 24mm (or is it 32mm) top to the strut that requires undoing to slide out the shock.

my guess would be that the front top mounts are on the wrong way round.

Basically if the top mount is not in the correct orientation the spring will move about in the cup as the strut moves when the wheel is turned.

Well I will stick my name down I recall seeing some hairline cracks when I replaced my bushes.
