they are the same, they both go through a throttle body and manifold and into the engine.

what? g40 boost temps are very respectable?! first you have a glader which doesnt get the air hot at all compared to a turbo or roots type blower, then you have a intercooler..

id agree with heartagram, although the first think i do in a car is his mom. lovely stuff

mate - £270 plus vat you are getting 'shafted' if its not too late speak to john at dave mac propshafts in coventry. i was quoted around £175 a piece for custom shafts, and that was using f1 quality steel that they guarantee to 600bhp..

haha, i did put i think! im sure you could pass as a lady - albeit a badgery one

ah you know me mate dave bort - we were only talking bout this beaut this afternoon when he popped in! looks sweet

and that is charlie! shes a lady [i think] i am not!

hhahaha - 'fingering'

indeeedy!

hey em, i got a loop! er up above me's [picola - what a slut] dont get them coded, will loop poo

as much as i love the lupo i also want to upgrade to the merc to amg55 brakes.. 345mm Brembo Ceramic Discs & 8-Pot Calipers. theyre a bit more expensive to save for..

**** that! thats a tank of fuel! does anyone know if g60 calipers will fit aswell with the right hoses? thinking as im doing it i should go for the 280mm wilwood golf setup for £425 on rallydesign

nah that seems ok, im struggling to find some damnit, i need new pads and disks soonish too.

so kameragram, what is the width of your calipers that didnt fit? so i can measure mine up. also, does anyone know where to get the carriers, theyre like hens feet at the moment it seems.. tempted to save up and get a wilwood set off rallydesign..

its definately not a stock G40 one, it should be good for about 300brake and 250ft/lbs

ohh going to be too small, i think mine is a 190mm, though its pretty tough!

i believe this has moved.. not sure where to yet.

id come to that, where is it? some of the propa players meet gets 20ish cars on a sunday afternoon isnt bad.

thats a head off job im afraid. you cant drill it out and re tap with it on, all that swarf will totally nodger it when you run it. but helicoiled spark plugs are fine, some early mercs came with that as standard before aluminium heads were really tough enough.

i was expecting to see some right states in this thread, but they actually look good, which is quite weird! am i getting old?

no, uses the same amount of power to turn them the same amount of times, but with a smaler rolling radius they have to turn more than larger wheels for the same distance.

thats gay, my post appeared twice..

thats gay, my button is on the gearstick.

im not going to know if my G40 one will fit without bolting it up i guess.. thinking about just getting it in for a remap asap and leave it as is for now. when the polos all gone will be able to get into it. think i might need a new Track rod end or a lower ball joint and a few other odds n ends.
