CHRISVR6 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 To reply to one question, the head gasket was done a while ago, so i believe the chain and tensioner were done as well, and its got 125k on the clock, but still sounds very good, well it should do after a engine rebuild , i am going the shrick route so i will be looking out for one soon after the rado has gone, and i have a K&N 57i kit but have just taken it off as find it makes the car pull about the same (needs a clean though), and an exhaust is next on my list, plus being a K i dont need a cat Link to post Share on other sites

antera309 3 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Schrick VGI Manifold, BMC CDA Filter, Supersprint exhaust and a remap should get you just over 200bhp and a decent increase in torque for about £1700 all in.A 2nd-hand Corrado 2.9 engine with just the filter, exhaust & remap will give you similar figures for about the same amount of money as long as you can fit the engine yourself.Or you can fit a supercharger yourself and spend about £2500, giving something in the region of 220-230bhp.

acf8181 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 guess we'll never truely know where the switchover was then.I thought it was 96? so some N plate cars could be OBD1... mintys had early spec bumpers etc so its no surprise its OBD1... maybe the changeover was a bit of a gradual thing which would explain there being some exceptions to the rule... weirdest one Ive seen is an N plate highline with square side repeaters ! i was originally under the impression that it was '96...but then i read in a couple of places that its was mid '95 (at the m/n switchover). i don't always truely trust the bentley as its a US manual so there are differences to what we have over here.still, the highline with square indicators is easy to explain...prob had a frontal accident and had the wrong wings put on.

acf8181 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 you sure? .errr....I think mark knows his own car......... but yes it is obd1..........I can confirm as will olly..........ive seen many 'N' reg obd 1 vr...... early N-1995 which was 1' date='...late n was 2....................you really should reed that bently service manual more carefully next time......lol [/quote']oi, i'm just trying to learn stuff here...and as said before it ain't always a good idea to 100% trust the bentley.

acf8181 0 Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 ah, thats interesting... but i've never seen an original winged early mkIII without an aerial hole (unless its been modded of course), but...i had a spare wing a little while back, it was a replacement one, and it didn't have a hole.
