narrow tyres on wide rims reduces side wall deflection therefore slip angles so will improve performance

I am looking for one N/A mk2 rev3 to run on a chassis dynamometer. The dyno run will be totally free of charge, located in Surrey. pm me for details.

the counterweights on the crank are to balance the crank. i was just trying to make a point that they are not used to balance the piston/rod assembly. in an application where the pistons are 180 out of pahse

the pistons and rods i use normally all come out of the box within 1 gram of each other. if you weigh them all seperatly then for example match the heviest piston with the lightest rod they should all come pretty close. if you want it perfect it requires you take a little metal off the piston. but a...

i dont know how to make it any easier. pistons are 180 deg out of phase so forces completly cancel each other therefore no counterweights on the crankshaft are needed. as for balancing the rod/piston assembly you just make sure there all the same weight. simple. if you dont know what your talking ab...

cranks are not in anyway balanced to the piston/rod assembly.
where have you got this farcical information from?

crank shaft balance is totally seperate from piston/rod. pistons/rods counter balance them selves i very much doubt that by lightening the crank will cause harmonics anywhere close to the 100hz mark. if its well balanced it will greatly reduce the instability that causes the harmonics to have less e...

there isnt a huge ammount to take off but there is enough to make a diffrence. i managed to get just over 1kg off mine with knife edging the lobes . this isnt a massive ammount but at 8000rpm and 43mm from centre it is a clear improvment. and you also have to think about the the reduced drag caused ...

was good to see some mr2s running shame that one left with some serious engine damage

The car aint bad. anything that can lap brands in 53's with under 200 bhp which turns out to be faster than quite a few cars in time attack with most of them having around the 500bhp mark is pretty impressive.

could i grab 2 sets for a rev 2 turbo

im 100% in for the buy but would be good to get some advice on the spring rates as i dont know a great deal about it

i did kinda try but then was advised that there is another happening in here but not much seems to be happening

as i think there is another group buy going on, put me down for some


?) warner - fast road use

sorry, thought i read the whole thread my big bad

After looking at the group buys today im mega gutted that i missed out on the k-sport and from reading the thread so are a few other people. im wondering if there is enough of us about to start another one. im kinda asking rather than just starting one as i dont see myself ans a good person to manag...

im looking for some new brakes all round and i have been trauling the forum and decided on standard discs with carbotech pads. as that seems to be what most people are recomending. after looking on ebay for a bit i found these http://tinyurl.com/28mkmu loads of people have left good feedback and on ...

thanks for your responce but i think i have it sorted. i just phoned rouge and got some advice basically what i thought that the brearing is knackerd and needs replacing he also said there was little chance that it had worn the hub so just a bearing kit should do the job.

recently i had an MOT where it was pointed out that the rear hub nut was loose i tightened it and replaced the split pin. it once again seems to have come loose. i cant think of what it could be i have a replacement bering but im not sure that this is the problem so i thought id ask on here.

i just realised i forgot to put the reg in the topic (K**5DWN) and if some one could enlighten me as to how to upload some pictures that would be great
