Ya them mv's were god awful, big ugly heavy b#st#rds. Unsure what direction take now will definitely go 328 exhaust route I say. There is a 323 in Cork who is carrying out pretty much same build as myself but is slightly ahead of me in progress so Im learning off him.
So princess has been treated to a full service (oil and air filter, new sparks, new thermostat and new thermostat housing). Thanks again gticorolla http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0zbkckt5.jpg

While we (by we I mean Steven)was changing my thermostat we noticed my rad was in terrible condition and decided was time to bin it. Also developed a leak annoyingly day after putting in thermostat which hurried us in to changing it.

She will be hitting 160,000 miles by end of week. With amount work Steven has put into her she should be good for at least another 14 years.
Oh anyone know where the heater blower resistor is in these. We stripped it out and couldn't find the bloody thing? She non aircon.(please include pics)
Tidy work dudes what torque do these push out man must be a fiar bit considerin shes 2.5???
Only 170 from factory, she may have lost a few between then and now. However with changing manifolds, diff, upgrade exhaust etc could be closer to 200Quote:

Lining up the new guibo http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...psmyddaymi.jpg
Car feels a thousand times better now since we changed them
Yes i know we put in rubber propshaft and rubber engine mounts as i felt the solid ones would be far too harsh on a daily car when their coupled with the paddle clutch
