Where abouts are you from ??

I would go for a 3.15:1 ratio... I've just done it

Its possible that the crankshaft position sensor has now failed and its gone into limp mode still. This quite often happens. Fix one sensor and another fails. Thats why we store all fault codes on a PDF file for proof of engine fault diagnosis. She will still need it scanned again. Hope for her sake its not the transmission. Did they fit a new sensor or 2nd hand ?? and did they clear the fault codes & adaptions ??

Whats actually wrong with the Mitsi Livi ???

I also have a friend working @ Auto Classic BMW spare parts in Perth... sing out if you would like his email addy

I thought you might like it Chris...and yes its a completely different car to drive now in many respects. The manual of course, loss off weight, flexibility in the torque range and the acceloration difference is amazing.... sounds good to with the new exhaust system

It may have gone into limp mode...due to the fact that the camshaft position sensor is faulty...or have you had that fixed yet ?

I'm leavin work now...beer & maybe a skid Chris ??? Ring me ....quick

Roughly what area in Kura....I'm at the top of Settlement

This project was abandoned by the owner.. I think hes sold the car now

WOF ? LVV ? .....hes in Aussie Graham

Use this to work out what ratio you want. Use 6th gear for your final ratio when working it out on a 5 speed http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/revs.html

At the end of the day, you might only have to do a front spring change...wait till youve got the new motor in and then decide

Rears will be OK ...just wait till youve got it in and up and running

Youll need at least a 3.64 or taller depending on what your going to use it for

It might work... but do the job properly ? No

What ratio is your present diff ?? A 4 cylinder is lighter than the 6 and the front suspension will be lower and will react differently to the 4

You will need to change the diff as well... I have a very good 3.64:1 ratio one here. Its an open diff not LSD $250

No problem.... were doing the same here

Personaly... I'd say don't... buy the right wheels instead

As Simon says.... for some reason 3 digits wont work... never has

Rear fog lights are not a WOF requirement here in NZ... some people have wired them up as extra brake lights ... which is quite legal... your allowed 4 + a high stop

Thers quite a few of us members in that area....Papakura & Drury

Is there a Seal House in Whangas ?? I'd also do the thermostat "O" ring as well in the housing

Thanks Forest... and yes it flys
