    wanted: inner steering arms

    does anyone know where to get a hold of a pair of brand new inner steering arms/ends. i'm getting fed up with the vague feeling my steering has, and the track rod ends were done about 2000 miles ago. i want to avoid paying $40 plus shipping plus import tax from Ameeerica.

    Adjusting The Idle Speed

    the revs will increase if theres a leak because it will pull the carb cleaner into the inlet and engine, and its better at setting fire than petrol. you need less air to ignite it, so with the same amount of air in the cylinder you can get more power out of the carb cleaner. the increased power...

    like you say Frank, its compromise between quality and expense..... i found i felt a bit of a difference from standard with bosch super 4s gapped to 2mm and these HT leads. but yes i would completely agree that sorting the timing out will be a much greater power improvement!

    the meter leads are copper core with gold plate connectors as well. tested them on another meter this morning :) they read 0 ohms. theres not enough resistance for the meter to measure! either im doing it wrong or my multimeter isnt sensitivie enough, but ive done the tests a number of times and...

    if youre going to do HT leads, get copper core ones, not magnecor leads. ive tested magnecor leads against standard leads and the resistance is near enough the same, between 2.5Kohm for the shortest to 4Kohm for the longest. i made my own copper core HT leads, and the entire 3M length i received...

    Brembo Brakes

    i agree greenstuffs are great pads. theyre more expensive than the brembos though. greenstuffs are designed for smaller cars, so they heat up quickly. yellowstuffs are for mid size cars and powerful hatches on track. red stuffs are full on race pads and need to be really hot before theyve got...
