Clutch
Don You are correct that the assembly should not require rebalancing if you just change the driven plate (friction plate). It is good practice however given the amount of work involved for maintenance purposes (as opposed to just trialing different clutch materials) and therefore cost to replace the...

If you do the job yourself, be sure to have the flywheel and clutch assembly balanced as a whole before installation and save yourself a lot of vibration grief.

Just to add a couple of things that the Greek Guru has said. You will need a substitute distributor to locate it up front like in the GTV6 as the one on the 164 can foul the firewall area. You will also need to install a return line to the fuel tank for an injected engine. You will also need V6 engi...

Zamani It is a standard 164 engine 12v "Although I don't understand why if the A/F is correct is a sign of exhaust restriction" What this means is that the intake fuel characteristics that the engine needs are being met and there is nothing you can do here. It also means that the amount of...

I understand that in an ideal situation, the rear track should not be larger than the front track. In fact it should be less so as not to deminish handling characteristics. You may get more traction at the price of handling. Take your pick.

Hi Zamani, My experience on the dyno shows the existing air supply used by the 164 engine with original AFM and ducting to be adequate for the job. My engine comes up to standard specs for 200 flywheel bhp @6250. Exhaust air sampling indicates correct mixture which confirms intake characteristics. W...

Race Cars Only
Andrew, I am with you on this. I would very much like to see a dedicated 116 Racing Only annexe to this forum where we could exchange and learn more about race preparing our TRACK cars. Yes Brian your point is not lost on me and keeping hot road cars separate would be a prerequisite of course. After...

Practical as ever Baz. Not sure if that's a model we get in Oz but the principle is the same joey as I am sure you are astute enough to lock onto. With all this stuff about upgrading brakes, it would be nice if we could come up with a decelleration meter that could actually measure any real gain in ...
