afraid its not as simple as getting it programed out, cos they get water into them (which is why they fail) they can lock witht he butterflies in the wrong position and stuff up the afr. you need to blank of the system, remove the butterflies and then map it out.

looks a bit meh when its fitted, but shows where its relocated

afraid dont know much about them other than fitting isnt great. have you trued googling japspeed front mount engine bay? see if theres ome images to show what other folks have dont

could be one of various sensors, have you chagne any pipework recently?

yeah, they are softer than the potenza's i had on, but the potenzers go hard and crack before they wear out on mine lol

pair of rear tyres for me today, went for michelin pilot sport 4's

what milage is it on? if your planning to keep the car long term i;d bite the bullet and get it fulled rebuilt, no worries abotu what might happen in the future then

2.5 are renowned for dropping headgaskets. £1700 sounds very cheap for a headgasket on a 2.5. You need to full strip and replace the crank bearings as they have a tendancy to be damaged when the HG goes as they get pinched.

not mine i should add haha, clinic started for a customer in 2007, then recession hit and it got shelved, got dug out a few months back,

you could try some of the aftermarkt wheel suppliers like wheelbase etc looks like cheapest package is about £900, which for wheels and tyres isnt too bad (winter tyres) and wheels arnt awfull lol

cool.

rear diff, hubs, dreiveshafts etc etc etc are all different you'll need a full donor car basicly

what program, are you using to model it?

was it still on the stock engine?

Dont think theres been any organised on here for a fair few years now

as above really depends how far you wanna travel, scoobyclinic up at chesterfield built mine. where ever you go make sure you get the bottom end done as well, crank bearings are often damaged when the HG goes.

😮 how dare they out rank you,,,,, 🤣

What boost issue are you getting? Typicly front mount pipes only fit in one way. Bear on mind it will need mapping after fitting.

Need to specify what model and year as or varies. Beware cheap coilovers, anything below £700 is gonna be pretty nasty. I've got tein flex z on my hawk and I love them, firm but not crashy. Iirc they were about £1100 fitted, but that was a couple of years ago now so not sure what the current going rate is.

Did the Importer not register it for you?

Sorted, sorry it took a while, had some real life shot going on so couldn't look until now. Should be banned and all posts gone.

do yu know how far it is to your nearest specialist?

to give you an idea, go to clinic's facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/scoobyclinic.chesterfield scroll down a bit (2nd and 7th of april) and they are doing a similar thing to an RB-5 and shows the extent of what they are having to do.

to do it right is a big job, if the inner arches are rotten up to the suspension towers then its going to be big rebuild job. 6k maybe there or there abouts as it gonna need taking back to the bare shell, rust cutout, new steel welded in, then built up, before being sprayed. im assumming the full respray is a full strip and respray, glass out, interior out etc etc, short version, its a duck tonne of work hours to do it as i bet they have priced it based on finding alot more like sills and such needing to be done as well.

4k ish at a guess, but prices are all over the place
