I take it that this runs with a power block?

How noisy is it?

What is the Blatchat opinion on Powerflex bushes?

Thinking of Poly bushing my car? Has anyone done it on a Ital axle car?

Does any body have an idea what the weight split should be?

Do these sound right? springs and weight have to be set, rake and distributional can be changed (within reason)

R300 Race car 640kgs (inc driver)

250lb springs all round

15mm rake

Currently

L-R 50%-50%

F-R 47%-53%

Where in the west midlands?

Caterham Midlands? Earl Shilton

Macmillan Motorsport Hinkley

Has anyone used one of these here

Would 40a be enough for one of our cars?

Nothing in any of the paper work I have suggests it's had anything done?

I've never had anything done other than the Carbs sorted by a Weber guy, still got the engine seals on it from when it was a Scholarship car. May be down to the carbs being rejetted etc properly? got all of the plots if anyone wants a look 😬

Not actually for sale yet, still not pulled the trigger on the new engine.

Does anyone know how much this would be worth, with twin 40's ECU etc.

Was rolling roaded in 2009 at 115.5 Bhp & 119.5 lb ft, very smooth power curves.

Get some Yoko 539's should be about £70 each fitted here

Not as grippy as the other two but the Yoko A539 is a very good tire 25000 from my last set *thumbup*

I have the following 🥰 all with full sweep on the gauge rather than the 90deg you get on the normal ones

Water Temp ST3307

Oil Pressure ST3101

Fuel Level ST3315

Very easy to fit

I've done the same, have mechanical oil pressure, water temp and fuel gauge.

The only pain was configuring the fuel gauge, you have to press a button when it's empty then fill it up and press it again without powering down the gauge. took a bit to get it right but all good now 🥰

Can I just point out that the S3 was designed with a live axle, so the originality can't be called into question can it?

This will be the same as all the people that complained when the K series was dropped. it wasn't the original engine just the one CC could get hold of easily. in 10 years maybe the old ford diff will carry the same stigma that the ital axle carries now.

Jigsaw sorted my axle 18 months ago, when collecting the car from them I got chatting to Mark (the Boss). He told me that the Ital Axle can handle 200hp no problem, come to think of it doesn't someone on here run a 200 hp zetec with the ital axle?

Jigsaw here did my screaming diff 18 months ago, when i got it back it was nearly silent *thumbup*

Only slight problem for them was, Mark is a BIG lad so had to get one of his lads to do the road test, as he doesn't if in Sevens (much to his disappointment)

Thanks for that I'll look into it.

Does anybody know if GAZ Front shocks can be run inverted?

Will it damage them in any way?

Talk to Mark at Jigsaw Racing, he should be able to help you out.
