33311417247 group N rear subframe bushes can still be found. they arent cheap and tbh i have a set (not installed) and they are at most a subtle upgrade as the rubber is supposedly slightly stiffer but...

[digger]

This is a loaded question as the specifics and details matter including the operating environment (type of road surfaces and imperfections encountered) and the application e.g. which bush in particular...

i would just swap front setups (disc and pads) for events its maybe 1 hr to do both fronts...

i managed to find a cheap ZF pump for the brackets so i could go either way now and this is partly a future proofing job anyway

did the seal kit say to use that CH11s crap? i would prefer...

[digger]

what fluid does the Meyle use? DIII or CH11s?...

the power numbers are pretty good.

If you are confident the cam is dialed in to spec then it’s likely the head that’s holding you back a bit. The un modified amc is rough on the chamber...

I’d be looking at the cam timing with adjustable cam gear as a couple of members either here or old e30tech forum found a bunch retarding the cam . The cylinder head is definitely not ideal and likely...

In case anyone is interested this worked fine and you can see the pins 14 the bottom right as you look and 16 positioned 2 above it. you would want to secure it a bit better for longer term though to...

[digger]

What brand tensioner and belt did you use?

[digger]

Thanks, i will go to my local electronic store...

[digger]

i am no electrical person but if there was a resistor already in there wouldn't it be doing its job already? i will check on the weekend

i do agree that a higher resistance would be better...
