The me7 & me9 manifolds are less restricted & do flow better, so is a worthwhile upgrade, but only if your going to pop a 3" down pipe on, 200 or 100 cel cat / deCat plus a 2.5 or 3" exhaust....
Go for BC coilovers (about £700 all for corners) or if your budget can stretch a set of KW V2s (£1300) With the correct spring weights & damper settings the ride will be transformed both for...
Have a look on PfV website, they list the correct Poly bushes by MY there - the one's you've linked above are incompatible (square peg I'm.a round hole) ones an earlier type the other the later .

The ticking noise on idle could well be as sticky tappet.
Have had a couple of 850s now (too many my wife might say!) several with sticking tappets due to standing a while & one with a bent rod,...
As it's been sat a long time, check all the fluids the unplug the king lead & injectors before giving it 4-5 good turnovers to get oil up to the head, as it will have drained down over time. Don't...
Welcome,
The VXRs will be plenty big enough.
Once you’ve done your turbo upgrades get yourself along to Tim Williams for a remap - or you’ll almost certainly bend a rod. He can also do the...
At that money you should have a file of receipts as thick as the yellow pages, be immaculate inside & out, plus be a lowish mileage manual.
If not buy a £3k car and spend the balance on getting...
He's around.....just persevere. He's a very busy boy so patience is a virtue when trying to get work booked in with Tim. Try the T5D5 facebook page. Cheers
Might as well start a breaking thread now:biggrin:
Sweet Jesus.....they're all channeling Bongo Dave this week!
To the OP - throwing your toys out of the pram & then blaming your autistic son for your lack of humour is quite frankly distasteful....
The first thing you'll want to do is a full stage zero ( plenty of posts on here and other forums). Once your confident the car is running tip top with fresh fluids & and renewed ignition components...
What's the problem with that? Seems pretty dedicated to me:
Find someone who can do the work to an exacting standard then fund it, no expense spared.
Seems like a much better plan than some...
Magic fella. Well done on turning a bit of a shagnacker (albeit a rare one) into a real head turner. Brilliant. Plus I expect it goes like ££££e off a shovel. Love the attention to detail - although...
It should. An original R clutch should be fine up-to about 350 bhp & 400nm. You need to be looking at what's wrong with the MAP &/or hardware in your car before replacing the clutch.
With regards the OP....drive it if you can, store it if you can't, but can afford the exorbitant rates of dry space. Sell if if you can't do either of the above. Sorry if that sounds like stating the...
It's an interesting topic to be fair..& a complex one.
Electric cars are here to stay. The technology will develop to make them more user friendly & practical for day to day use (including...
Cam seals &/ or vvt depending on your model year. If they've popped due to previously blocked pcv then you'll need to replace them. ( I've assumed that the oil is coming from the top of the head)...
Check for water/dampness in the spark plug chambers or around any of the ignition components. Had similar symptoms on a T5 after it had stood for a bit & the plugs were damp causing misfires. Once...
It's limiting the boost. Either you have a boost leak, incorrectly routed pipework, a dodgy actuator or TCV. Or all of the above.
If you haven't already changed all the boost hoses then that be a...
:slap:So once you've finished getting springs, shocks, top mounts , bump stops etc... the BCs at £150 a corner will start to feel very reasonably priced. Plus it might even go around a corner without...
Bc coilovers (£700) or KWs (£1150+)are the way forward. That will get you 4 corners of adjustable ride height & damper control. Don't waste money on anything else.
Cheers, Morgan
Will the 960 be getting a bit of Teflon clear coat to help you old man just "slide" off those irritating pieces of road furniture that keep jumping out at him? Might save you a fortune in bodyshop...
Number one could well be the AG, or as shown in your photo, the leak from the bottom of the turbo spreading down.
Number two looks like the cam seals have gone. Oil & timing belts dont play well...
EXHAUST BACKPRESSURE CHECKS
To diagnose a plugged catalytic converter, you can check intake vacuum or exhaust backpressure. To check intake vacuum, connect a vacuum gauge to a vacuum port on the...
