  1. I cant see how reducing the gap would change the emissions or give better performance on track i think all that it would do is increase your emissions if anything as it would change the way it butns the fuel / air mixture and cause spark plug to fail prematurely,probably better investing in better spark plugs

  2. No need to apologise dude,there were a few people telling me the same thing so I would have done it anyway and the good thing I can take away is I have learned a little bit more about my car which is always good ,and shared it with others

  3. I didn't go well,the rack looks the same but has slight differences like the gators and the shape of the track rod ends,the power steering pipes are different and the subframe is different so to do job the complete subframe and everything that goes with it needs changed

    So just going to get my rack refurbished and refit

  4. If you can get a battery gun (I used a snap on one which worked a treat ) for the 32mm hub nut if not use a long bar and shock it with a hammer or put a tube on the end of your bar,manifold nuts I would use a single hexagon sockets and apply some heat then hammer socket on to rounded nut that should get it off ,and the engine mount bolts am afraid just brute force for them ,good luck

  5. I think I've worked out the mysterious two hoses... In your photo here the 'U' shaped pipe goes right at the back, next to the one you cut down for the elbow behind the head... (I presume you didn't do those two?)

    And then I chopped down the other mysterious hose to do that small elbow behind the head... Can't see any hoses I've missed so think that's em all..

    Ye I didn't bother doing the ones on the bulk head didn't see the point very awkward to get at

  6. Cheers for the heads up on the cutting and the clips needed... So it's just the two that red cutting then?

    And did you find where the last two went?? Lol

    Ps. Thanks for sorting it @Chandler no worries on the wait... Beats paying full price any day!! :D

    Mine are getting fit next week hopefully, fingers crossed all in one go too! :) can't be naffed with dropping the coolant multiple time to do it in stages, I'm too lazy for that!! Haha

    Ye no worries ,also the small elbow pipe from back of head the hose clip needed changed ,what I did is just buy an assorted pack of hose clips which covered me was only a couple of quid for them ,and no I haven't found out where the last two hoses go yet mate
