that sure is some info, i stand corrected, co-incidentally when i had capris & cortinas the 7.5j wheels i had were 7.5 inch wide from the inner edge of the rim to the other inner edge so i just accepted the explaination i was given

j is the measurement of width, 7j is 7 inch 7.5j is 7.5 inch 8j is 8 inch etc, or at least thats what i was told at ATS when i was on my work experience many moons ago

Thanks :D

Yeah, id read your earlier comment Zwaf n thaught it was swansea0boy on about the remap by the time i finished reading. My mistake, but its worth getting the remap if you like performance, best few hundred quid youll ever spend for low down grunt & acceleration in a diesel ;)

Hi, take it thats the mk 2 GTE you have (judging by the stated 16v), what have you done to the GTE already? Id like to hear about that, havent seen a good one about for a while, Glad to hear of one still going strong

you should fit a high performance clutch quickly mate, ive changed loads on remapped audi & vw tdis that have sheered the clutch plate in 2, ripping the entire centre of the clutch plate away from the outer (contact plates & the part they mount to away from the rest) they are very torquey and if...

that may help but when i said at really high speed i mean it only becomes an issue at about 145mph, far too fast for the public highway, so it really does seem like a downforce issue, just the back end seems to gently work in a circular motion up ,right, down and left. a rover turbo specialist...

CAR, Rover 200 coupe SETUP, G-max sports suspension, lowered 40mm front & rear, powerflex polybushes on the torque steer bars & front anti roll bar. ADVANTAGES, firmly planted on the road, handles very well at both moderate and high speed, virtually no body roll at all. DISADVANTAGES, the...

Great, that sounds perfect. I've never added injectors to a set up before so it'll be a learning experience, and to be honest is also the reason i was just going to swap out the standard 4. Emerald recommend fitting a wide band lambda sensor with their ecu as you can adjust the settings...

if i can i will, but ill have to have it custom built, you can get every trinket in existance for jap cars but rovers don't have such an extensive supply of advanced performance parts. obviously you can get all the internals, but external parts are scarce or none existant.

yeah, heats definately an issue with mine, more so with the lump the piston rings went in, but the present engine still likes to get a little too warm for my liking. A turbo cooler should sort the problem out. its a poor design when boiling water from the turbo is then sucked straight into the...

I have the turbo gearbox which has the torsen type a lsd, it doesn't half torque steer too. Yeah ive discovered moto build, Silver storm auto improvements also supply an ammount of trinkets i couldn't find elsewhere for it. I had considered trying to turbo my 1.6 lump but the power gains just...

Thanks, breakdowns & pains a way of life for rover owners isnt it haha. My 216 coupes a 98 model so it had a rover lump in it anyway, they stopped putting honda engines in 200s & 400s in 96, the same time they stopped putting 2.0s in 200s and turbo engines in 200s & 400s. The engines done...

its a 2.0 turbo, i slapped the 220 turbo lump in my 216, im only running 12psi at the min, i wanted all the ancilliaries up to spec before i fit forged internals. i've never heard of cryo treatment before, im still reasonably new to serious modification. it definately sounds like something i...

the heads standard and i was going to leave it that way as i've destroyed 2 already and have 2 spares as i probably will again (rover heads are weak). im just going to throw some fast road cams in it. for some reason it hadn't occured to me to find out what spray pattern the original...
