    Identifying TDC part number

    Hello, My car wouldn't start, cleaned the TDC, it was dirty as sh**. Car fired right up. I was planning on replacing it anyway because it is a common source and already had two times the car stalled. Measured resistance 300 ohms between poles removed from box. New should be ~250 ohms. Asked...

    K20 my Clio

    I am, because 7th and 8th gen Civic cannot compare to 5th and 6th gen Civic suspension and feel. So if you want a superb handling and fast car go K powered 91-2001 Civic. The best I drove was a K24 supercharged 99 Civic VTi. But he would not sell it to me even offering crazy money !! Building is...

    K20 my Clio

    A bit weird to see, but the Clio chassis is superior to EP3 and FN (2001-2011) but the K series is gem and way easier tunable than the Renault engine. Before I get some remarks, owned, driven, built many many Honda's in my days. The reason I bought the Clio RS because it is better out of the box...

    Wheel spacers thoughts

    OK, will try w/o spacer when I get around cleaning the brakes. Will have to check if the KW suspension clears it. Even with spacers I think the wheels are not fully on the edge of the fenders so it looks good.

    Wheel spacers thoughts

    OK thanks, under hard acceleration the car wants to go left right a bit, even on straight tarmac (as far as that exists). The car feels perfect under turns with very little understeer, but that is why I have the car, right. Under normal driving they car goes perfectly straight. I have KW...

    Wheel spacers thoughts

    I found out my car has H&R wheel spacers, front and rear. I felt like the car driving in a straight line is a bit nervous but responds very well to the steering and round corners. Bushngs/ ball joints all fine, Michelin sport 4 tires in good nick too. What are thoughts about removing them and...

    200: Is there real difference in akrapovic exhaust (dyno proven)

    I was thinking of putting in an extra damper or electric controlled flap in the exhaust, but this created other problems with the flow and mapping would be totally off, since I have the feeling the car already runs rich (black soot in the exhaust).

    200: Is there real difference in akrapovic exhaust (dyno proven)

    I have it, I do not like it, and a flat spot around 2500 rpm as well, getting OEM exhaust. The noise it too much, attracts police attention, not good.

    Blackline LSD

    I am honest, get a good proven LSD brand (drive several cars with them to feel what you need/want), overhaul the box, new clutch, new crank bearing, you are done and need not to worry taking it apart anytime soon. Cost money? Yes, otherwise we would be driving dull Toyota Corolla's right? :)...

    Newbie looking for some roll cage advice...

    I have a lot of experience with rollcages also with MOT/FIA compliance. Talk to the official MOT office and ask them about the regulation in your country. No good if you need to take it out every MOT ! Get at least a 6 point rollcage otherwise it is just for looks, seen many crashed cars with 4...
