Evening 👍🙂

Just remember that if/when you regap iridiums/platinum plugs to be really careful as it is really easy to actually break the tip off of the electrode

JEEBUS WEPT !!!

Lols

More than likely what happened, you could actually clean them up , but tbh your better off sticking a set of iridium or platinum or whatever it is in there unless the early scoobs need a different sort of plug

Missed that bit, yeah I second that question ..

Chances are it was the maf tgen mate, and once you've sooted the plugs up you've had it as the spark will just track straight down that black stuff to earth, I would imagine the cheap plugs just may not run your car properly especially on boost

Ditto stants, they look like they are sooted right up, did you take them out after a decent drive or after a few starts in the drive while diagnosing the car

Hello mate, welcome to the fold 😊

Ive bought some redex advanced petrol treatment from halfords today and stuck it in the tank, now I know it's early doors, but after about ten minutes driving the car felt smoother and dare I say it, pulled a bit harder and cleaner, I don't know if this is just psychosomatic but it defo felt better, maybe it's just raised the octane a bit ?

They can go weak due to heat so you could start by adjusting the waste gate arm to make it shorter to put more pressure on the gate (if yours is adjustable), one full turn at a time, testing boost after each turn, has this just happened or have you just got the car or has it got gradually worse over time

Do they go wrong at this mileage or need cleaning etc or are they something that go on forever type of thing

Afternoon all just wondering about the injectors in my hawkeye, they have done 105k now, are we supposed to get them checked or serviced at all ??

Mine sounded like a jet engine scoobs 🙂

hmmm, beetle conversion he says, wonder if it'll fit a t2 camper.....

Afternoon matey 👍 As above, what's occuring ....

There's really not at lot to be gained over the standard airbox if the cars standardish, with a short ram ( that's what I had on my blob wagon, messed the fuelling right up as didn't have map ) but for the short period of time I had it on there the turbo spooling noise was immense, totally addictive to the point that I was driving around on and off the throttle most of the time just to listen to it, I would defo recommend it purely for the noise tbh, mine was a cheap ebay crap one, maybe if I had bought a top end one it would have fuelled ok

Get one on and get it mapped in, the noise is just addictive, seriously addictive 😜

Somebody had repaired the one on my 53 blob wagon and had welded the ARB brackets to the subframe 🙄 So chucked an sti one and steering rack in at the same time, did it on jacks, was nightmare lol

Good work 👌I will put my glasses on before I comment next time lol

Just had another look at the pics, and it's not the C frame is it 😳

No, not supporting the engine too, if it's the C frame it don't have anything to do with the engine or mounts

I've not a clue sorry, but sure someone that knows will chip in soon mate

Quality !! Lols
