Safe to say im well happy with it after driving it I certainly understand the license loosing speed you put your foot down and it’s not as dramatic as the s14a but bloody hell the speedo climbs fast ...

Does it go rich or lean when it starts sputtering ?
Like I said it’s only a weekend toy so not like I need to rely on it to make a living and realistically il do less that 3-4K at absolute most
I’ve got a couple of hundred quid ready for when I...
Brilliant it’s nice to have some relatively unbiased opinions
On the maintenance/reliability side of things I’m not too concerned as il be able to do most things myself like swapping/coding...
I know they have issues but all cars have issues that includes s bodies
I know quite a few guys on here have sold their 200s and moved to the bmw 135i coupes
I don’t have any specific questions as such but was wondering how you feel they compare to the 14a after...
You might find one is an input from the headunit and the other is a pass through so you can link into another amp
It was just a local motor factors
Oh and I got a set of brand new Bosch coils for 60 quid and that’s about the price of second hand 20 year old coils for an SR
I went for the black 1.8 vag coils and it made a big difference to idle smoothness because I can run a 1.1mm gap and still make 350hp without misfires
If it’s not in timing mode it probably will be in the 30-40 degree btdc
Have you got it the inhibition timing mode or are you just shining it on the crank pulley at idle ?
Sound to me like the ecu is cooked and there is a fault with the injector drivers or the loom is damaged and are grounding the injector wires and there being held open
You could try unplugging the...
Gates or dayco will be oem most likely
Personaly I like the gates belts as there easy to get and I’ve not had a problem before
Maybe look at the normal 1.8t coil packs as there quite a bit shorter
there is a list of spark voltages somewhere and it shows the r8 coils have way more voltage at the plug than the SR coils and there are plenty of high power turbo cars running them
You can’t make...
My friend is looking to buy an Audi that’s been plastidipped
Would it put you off buying a car ? Car looks clean through the dip no signs of filler or crash damage ?
This is just a general...
If your not running mega power you thought about the normal black 1.8t coils I’m at about 350hp and have no misfires under boost and run a 1mm gap so get a nice idle also if it’s a SR20 you can keep...
I’d go for ngk or see of Bosch do something
If you buy cheap ones you will be replacing them every year
I did the same to mine and I put it down to the paddle clutch and slop in the driveline like driveshafts I fitted a full face comp clutch white bunny kit and regressed and cleaned the driveshafts and...
I’ve developed the dreaded rattle I’ve had it a bit at start up but it’s now starting to sound like a diesel
I’ve got a known good sprocket to fit so looking to change the solenoid as well but...
As above I’d fit new new ball joints in yours will be easier you will want an alignment either way
but if you do go with new arms let me know if you wanna sell your old ones
What’s actually your problem as it should just plug into the unit and work ?
