Hmmm ...ok mate. What shall i do than? Buy a set of coilovers? A guy was selling some Leda's....are they any good?

Mate...it is on lowering springs. Don't know what are they as they are too rusty to tell! I have a Lhd gtir.

Hi guys, So....I have just measured the ride height on my gtir. The results are as follows: -front left 330 mm -front right 340 mm -rear left 350 mm -rear right 360 mm I think that this is weird! Or, is it ok? Please advice!

Still have them mate? I want one!

Thanks for all the input guys. I have done something like this, until now. -Changed the oil to a full mineral type -Ran the car until 2500-3000 rpm for 200 miles -Changed the oil and filter -Checked the filter for impurities.... And this is what I've done until now:D

Wow....that's cool Jon!

The flanges were machined flat and during welding bolted high tensile bolts so that they move. I believe that the warping is minimal.....as I have checked each and every one of the elbows. Sorry....

Hi Jon, You can use both version of bolts, either the one provided or your old ones. If you made the holes 0.5 mm bigger there will be no issue at all. Secondhand gasket, is it's not damaged you can use it. Brand new copper washers are always a good idea!

Hi guys, So .....Now I have managed to settle the AFR at idle at 14. I have put 10w40 semi-syn oil in the engine. How shall I ''break in'' the engine?

Martyn doesn't have them anymore!:(

Mates, your appreciation is much valued. I know.....it is not easy to fit it...and nothing fits like a factory piece. This is because it is hand made. By the way......I will make a in tank surge tank. Any interested?

Do you have some specs........???

As the title says!

Will make a full combo 3'' elbow + downpipe!

Cheers guys!

@britishrallying that's strange, bucause I have tesed alk of them for fitment.....and they were ok! But anyway...glad you are happy!

Stock location manifold, in tank surge tank to solve the issues of fuel starvation on the gtir....and maybe a full 3'' combo elbow + downpipe
