I managed to get some time on the car last weekend so I checked the cam timing again. I’m using a Gates belt with the marks printed on the belt. The timing wasn’t out but there may have been too much...
I’ve never tried setting the ignition timing using the loop technique. I always use a Snap-On timing gun

Thanks for the replies. I’ve checked the splines in the CAS and the camshaft and they don’t look to be worn. The half moon peg also looks ok.
I’ll get some time to work on the car tomorrow so...
Ok thanks. Any ideas what would cause this? I have checked TDC using a DTI in cylinder 1 and the marks on the crank pulley are correct but the CAS is still all the way to the left

I’ve recently rebuilt my CA and have a few running issues. I’ve noticed the CAS is rotated almost fully to the left at 15 degrees before TDC and wanted to check if this is normal?
Is there a usual...
Either will work. Best to go between positive terminal and positive cable

I bought Tesco alloy wheel cleaner earlier today. For £2 in a spray bottle I thought it’s worth a try

I actually have 2 different style flywheels for the CA. When I rebuilt my engine I posted some pictures on here asking which was the correct one to use. I never knew there was an early and a late...
Brakeparts.co.uk do all sorts of calipers, rebuild kits, discs, pads, cables etc.
Used them many times with no problems

Yea I couldn’t find it anywhere in the wiring diagrams so thought it may be part of the speedo itself, or for a different model maybe

It’s not a case of it being standard or modified, it’s just an effect of crank case ventilation. It usually gets worse for multiple reasons combined. Old/worn rings allowing more pressure in the...
Don’t know why they’d give you a speedo amplifier test in the manual if it doesn’t exist.
I’ll check both speedos for the regulator on the back

Not sure about the adjustment on the cluster but I’d be interested to know if there is.
Is the amplifier inside the speedo itself?

I’d imagine the oil residue is more likely to be from the crank case breather system not the turbo seals leaking. Nearly all turbo cars end up with oil in the intake system through the breathers....
I’ve replaced my speedo recently for a working unit but it seems to read just below the correct speed. I’ve checked the correct speed with a sat nav but the speedo reads around 5-15 mph below the...
That’s strange they don’t list the front adapters under the hatchback model.
Thanks for that!

Thanks, I’ve checked this site before but they don’t make the front adapters too

Does anyone know where to buy speaker adapters for S13’s? I’ve seen people using them in the US but can’t find a company that sells front and read adapters to fit 6.5 inch speakers.
I know about...
What skinny spare did you use in the boot?

Ok thanks I’ll give them a message. Looks like nobody signed up for that group buy deal in the end.
Do you have any other recommendations for good quality less aggresive coilovers?
Sent from...
Has anyone had any experience using Yellow Speed coilovers on their S13? I’m looking to upgrade to either shocks and springs or coilovers without losing too much comfort.
I want the car to be a...
I use wheel acid to clean most engine components. Leave to soak for about 20 mins and parts come out like new. You may need to soak over night depending on how badly the deposits are stuck on. Dont...
I’ll give it another check, thanks[emoji1360]
