    It's at the shop at the moment, we'll be doing a leak down to see if the pistonrings are fine or not. Had some tires fitted on the silverstone's: Uniroyal rainsport 3 215/45/17

    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    DON'T do a compression test on these engines. You'll risk destroying the ECU. You should never try doing one unless you put 12v directly onto the solenoid of the starter and turn the engine over that way. You will need to open the throttle body by hand aswell.

    Ken's RS 200 daily/trackday car

    found the problem: burned and cracked an intake valve on cilinder n°3 So now we need to take the head of and replaced all the valves and maybe valvestemguides. Get the head refinished and put it all back together.

    Will this help the throttle being muted at low rpm's? It's really annoying the way the throttle feels when setting of.

    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    I have the same thing and spent 100's of € to replace everything we thought could be the cause. Exhaust manifold flexi's were leaking, so replaced those. Maybe the coilpacks and plugs? Yep, replaced aswell. Injectors: replaced. Mapsensor: replaced. Turns out; it burned a valve. Inspect your...

    a little bit better, I still have issues with the respons. I'm looking at the short and long term fuel trim and it's not good. I'll be dropping it off at the grand master of diagnose. We're not sure where the problems lies.

    The exhaust collector is still in back order :chair:It's been 3 weeks now... Since then it's been running worse and worse at very low revs (between 1,5 to 2,5k rpm), running to rich. You can actually smell the fuel out of the exhaust. So when you set off it stumbles a bit when cold. I just...

    Can I use 225/45/R17 tyres

    I think they are the perfect combination for 90% street and 10% track use. I can still get them from alot of places. Recently been having problems getting them up to temperature, I think winter ruined them. Bridgestone has a disclaimer about this issue.

    Can I use 225/45/R17 tyres

    They don't rub on speedlines. I might swap the RE070's on the laguna wheels, and fit a new set of 225/45/17 AD08R's on the speedlines.

    Can I use 225/45/R17 tyres

    I run 225/45/17 Bridgestone RE070 on speedlines, they don't rub. Eibach springs, stock offsets. Question will be if they will rub on laguna wheels with Et50 offset...I've just bought a set.
