Aero latches
My lad George was fitting these today to his car, so I sneaked a few photo's along the way to show the progress. Firstly take some time to work out where they are going to fit, and if the bonnet webbing and front slam panel make it a suitable place. http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b554/nedski2/g...

Re: Mk1 92 1.6 Intermittent Not Starting
Do you have a spare air flow meter to swap in. I've got a niggle in the back of my mind telling me they need to be good or they can cut fuel.
I could be wrong though but worth swapping in.

Re: Pete's MK 2/2.5 heater blower is not working( no speeds)
Ford and Vauxhall 9 times out of ten it the rheostat/resistor. But high speed will always work as it bypasses the resistor.
Renaults often melt the wires up in the dash next to the motor.

Re: Not into drifting much
though he might mean geometry.
It is rear wheel drive with no sophisticated electronic aids. Less skids= less right foot. More skids= more right foot.

Re: Painting Engine Alloy bits
Depends on how good a finish you want I guess but heat should not be a problem with most paints. These are simple smooth hamerite from an aerosol. http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b554/nedski2/supercharging/20141124_165025_zps66843d1b.jpg http://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b554/nedski2/anything%...

Re: Misfire 1.8 mk1
Not really as its actually past your engine and on its way down the exhaust.
I just fitted some brand new NJK plugs to go to the rolling road. Turns out one was causing a slight missifire, swapped some old ones back in and perfect.

Found the link to the old thread. I don't want to be alarmist but just keep an eye on them. Iv'e re greased mine twice already and that keeps them working as best they can but still hard. http://www.mazdamenders.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2292&p=22408&hilit=polly+bush+failure#p22408 ...

Re: Superpro polybush dilemma
We went through this about a year ago with the problem of them sticking and stressing the wishbones until they break. Probably the worst mod anyone can do !

Re: Superpro polybush dilemma
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't do it. Unless you buy the best.
I track my car and I still want to go back to rubber.
PS if anyone has a full set of standard wishbones i'm still after a set.
Any Idea how much the IL set is or autolinks rubber set ? Might be the way to go for me.

Re: Rough idle after track day - Camshaft position sensor?
That about had it's day mate with those figures.
I would think most garages would charge you around £400 in labour or more. If your going to buy one then try and find one thats fairly oil free as gaskets and seals can soon cost you some pennies.
