sorry my bad. You would wind them down. As in lowering the spring hight which would let the car sit lower. So just wind them down. Sorry lol

 

[rhysox]

ok great. cheers mate

 

[mr_D]

i was actually replying as you said. Pretty slow on my phone thats all it is. Sorry mate. But just wind them down.

 

[rhysox]

if i drop the spring an inch, is it likely that the car will be lowered an inch or this unrealistic due to the spring characteristics

 

[acidstrato]

wouldnt worry bout that code, i think you get it because of the remap.

i did a full scan last week and i had it too

Cool. Well not really but you get what i mean. Never had this code before but brought up a light the other day. Could of been to do with one of my other faults i had though. Can never be to sure

Couldn't tell u mate. Would of thought that was right though. Just have a play around. Or drop it all the way and worry about it when u get to some speed bumps. lol

Daz, tell him to phone revo.

Wouldnt worry bout that code either, the eprom one does come up now and again sometimes when thge battery has been disconnected.


Wind em down to lower.


Finnally done my cam timing juat now, a million and 1 torx screws to get out just to rotate the cam one tooth. Glad i've done it now tho.

 

[mr_D]

cheers phil.

Was ur timing out or u doing that for performance reasons?

 

[PhilW]

It was out after i had it rebuilt, then i redone it to what i thought was correct then after reading up about it the common sense approach i took was slightly wrong, so i had to rotate the cam slightly to get it back to factory spec. All done now, gonna go for a spin as well now i think.

[Daz_gibbo]

Anyone know where the temp sender for coolant temp gauge is? I always thought it was the prone to failure green top but apparently not? Pretty sure mine is goosed.

 

[PhilW]

Its on the right side of the engine, just below the N75 daz. All you need to know is here...
