Oh and the auto box just needed more oil. It drove/got ragged up and down the industrial estate very well indeed. Pretty scarily quick  Also have an idea on the RS engine cam advance now so will post photos tomorrow. Just to give others an idea of how to get an extra 10 odd lbft for nothing. ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

There is a very interesting post on the 406 coupe forum about cambelt kits and the tensioners. Depending on what size water pump your engine has fitted, you can mod the water pump slightly and this allows you to use the later - more simple tensioner and im sure its cheaper. I can did out the links if it helps. I have fitted a later set up to an early engine and it works and is a doddle.

I couldn't see why it was such a difference and why i couldn't use the vastly cheaper newer engine kit. Well after a lot of research we did indeed use the newer one and saved a fortune You need to make a modification which allows the newer bigger part fit in the older smaller space. I did the research but i didn't do the actual work on it. Mine was done by markrallye from this forum, so pm him for exact details. beat ya________________________________________ How to do a clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
