That's the million dollar question. I think a good place to start would be rally design. As for length, I don't know you'll have to measure up then add a bit, plus fittings. As far as I remember it cost about Ã‚£180 to do my old pug 205 for hoses and fittings (not inc bias valve, ebay is the way), s...

Yes, run the braided hose through the bulkhead and fit something like a tilton screw type bias valve next to the handbrake. You can always just use hard pipe to save money but braided is always best

If you're planning on changing brakes anyway, why not just run braided hose direct from the master cylinder and use a bias valve. That should be a better solution than having all that ABS gubbins left in there.

I think it's the large bore headers and turbo near double the size of std that cause the lag :D Although there is something seriously wrong with it.. I drove it into a chevy suburban :( More to the point was that the 325 cost half as much as just the turbo on that car, and is just as much fun, if no...

Not a WR, but certainly not standard

It currently lives in a garage slightly worse for wear now though. Bit of a project.

The clearance is there to ensure that, even after a service/check interval of wear, the valves will still close fully and seal on their seats. Noisy tappets will be noticed and get checked whereas a poorly seated valve (especially on the exhaust side) may not be apparent until it has melted and des...

That seems to make sense. I'll stick with that description.

Well, picked it up from my mate's on sunday. What a laugh. Love that engine and no turbo lag 8) sounds lovely. I'm also amazed as to how small it is, I rember driving my parents E30 a few years back after passing my test, it was a big car. It feels tiny compared to the golf I drive at work. Lot's of...

oh god, i've been Americanised without knowing it. That sucks :D The clearance is there as when hot, the valves and rockers expand. This closes the gap. Otherwise you would set it to near as possible to 0. If you think about it, as they're 2 different things set in place (as such) the only way they ...

I just read your post in the context it was meant Chris

I originally read it as an lsd allows no slip while driving. Whoops, my mistake.

I would only use lash in reference to cam driven applications, I don't know why. Just looked it up on the internet too, no idea where it comes from. Never thought of it as sounding american?? Handpaper, if you set the 'clearance' :D at 0.3 hot, then it will be even larger than 0.3 when cold. Sure it...

0.25mm for inlet and exhaust? (taken from link above) can't be right surely?

I've never seen them recommended to be equal on any engine before.

Thanks guys.

A limited slip does allow one wheel to spin on it's own, just transfers a %power to the non spinning wheel. Otherwise it would be a locked diff

Could anyone tell me the valve lash for these? mine's an '88 btw. Just picked one up from a mate and it sounds a bit like a sewing machine with a bent needle. What a brilliant engine though! great noise (not the rattle that is). I'd only driven a few 4 pot BMs before this. Oh and firing order could ...

Certainly did! Thanks... I don't see how I can fail to enjoy it

Cheers, I am interested. I'll have to check up on regs at to what ratio's are allowed. I didn't realise there was more than 1, and it has to be std.

Hi, Myself and a friend just got a gold 325 4 door from ebay as the donor for a rally car. 500quid with full year mot and looks pretty clean from the pics. Hopefully can source an lsd for it pretty soon and get things started :) Bargain I think. Are the lsd's at all easy to come by? or is it a case ...
