Nope, just one set.

You might want the steering rack bushes too, ie these.

Thanks. I've booked it in to be welded up before the MOT, it didn't sound like it'd be a problem :)

My exhaust has committed suicide.

The hanger's ripped a chunk out of the back box. I've bodged it horrendously to stop it putting extra stress on...

Couldn't find a fan belts how-to so thought I'd pop one here. Just done mine. S14a, and alternator and PAS belts only as the A/C's broken and will be coming off.

Didn't remove the shroud. Had the...

Driftworks do the rear ones too (as solid bushes). £40 the pair and went straight on, no trouble.

Up to you on the decat, it'll help power but probably make MOT difficult.

You will however need a boost controller and boost gauge so you can set the boost level, either a cheap manual boost...

If there's no restrictor in the feed to the actuator then the boost pressure from the intake pipework will have an easier job keeping the actuator open, so yes the boost will be higher than the...

Sort the fuel pump and get some boost control, ideally electronic. The FMIC and exhaust will be pushing the boost up a bit from standard. Pressure testing for boost leaks is also a good idea, they're...

Why not remove the ARB?

Yep. Did you grease them?

After I fitted mine I had a knock from the subframe when going on and off light throttle. Eventually "fixed" it by just overtightening the four nuts a bit, though of...

Boost leaks can be small or they can be large. They can also, sometimes, only happen above a certain pressure. The only way to rule them out is to pressure test the system and see if it leaks.
...

lol, yup.

If your actuator's base pressure is 1 bar instead of 0.7 bar, it'll increase boost by up to 0.3 bar with the same boost control setup. You'll have to turn down the boost on the boost...

Lower SET until you get the boost you want. You can't actually set a target boost on the Profec, you have to adjust SET until it gives you the correct result. Every car and setup is different, though...

My experience with the fuel gauge is that, at various levels, this is approximately how it'll read:

55-65 litres: held at top mark.
45 litres: 3/4 mark.
35 litres: 2/4 mark.
25 litres: 1/4...

Padding ought to be enough. If you're really having trouble, maybe your engine mounts are worn to bits and the whole thing's just moving about too much.

From the manual (link)...

Malfunction is detected when: The ignition signal in the primary circuit is not entered during engine cranking or running.
Check item (remedy): Harness and connector,...

Based on how far you say it's been lowered I'd guess you need aftermarket toe arms with more adjustment.

If you want to check, get under the back and find the toe arms. They're long arms that run...

Emissions are fine, your problem is the car seems to be running lean. It has nothing to do with the cat and replacing it or getting it hot won't help. If anything you'd want the car nice and cold for...

DB Power engine mounts here. Tightened everything up nicely but now everything rattles - door trim, dash, roof trim, ignition barrel - and the mirrors blur with vibration at certain rpm. Not...

Nothing wrong with living with a 2-way. It's more predictable and more fun than the vlsd... clunks a bit in low speed cornering at low throttle... it wants to push sideways... puts power down better...

Intercooler through the battery tray?

I got a Varley Red Top 25 off Apex. I've had it three and a half years, let it go flat several times and it still holds charge for over a week - and it's...

Check the top mounts on the front coilovers rotate freely. If those seize the springs can bind up and pull the wheels round.

First: brakes, ARBs, decent tyres, alignment arms if necessary to correct your alignment after lowering it, alignment if it hasn't been done. Subframe locking collars are cheap + easy compared to...

Good rubber.

Secondary factors are warm dry weather and alignment that isn't completely arsed. The grippiest tyres tend to be summer/all season tyres and will struggle in low or sub zero...
