hi as above - shotblast and new paint best bet; but dont use chemical strippers on the fake splitties as it eats the plastic edge nuts!

hi yes id agree eddie, a v small amount on rear if its going to see track type use.

still wondering if anyone has lowered a P4 successfully and what they used to do it? surely someone out there h ...

hi

it does affect things yes but mostly for the better, neg camber is not desirable at the rear, but a bit of it is good at the front for good turn-in etc, racing cars have lots at the front but it ...

yes i agree - although once youve tasted the 16v nothing else will do!

as for the rust on the filler cap, that was factory fitted on all 33's i think, im sure its mentioned in the brochure!

haha - very true, rust dead 33 's are so cheap its criminal!

plus you get all the other uprated parts -anti roll bars/ shocks / brakes etc....and if youre doing any serious work on the engine's yo ...

hi james
nice sounding car - any pictures?

imho it seems best to just get a 1700 complete with all bits/ engine loom- makes life so much easier and the result will be better/ cheaper (go 16v even? ...

aha suspected as much!

i do like those early twin light af1's, i had a af1 50cc when i was 16 - went like stink with a polini kit on so it did! 80mph from what was legally a moped hoho; many moons ...

(crouched in sprint start position)

hi bellamachinna,

sorry to hear of your problems - if i may add my tuppence:

lean mixture can cause pre-ignition (which you have, precursor to detonation) or actual detonation in severe cases ( ...

hmm i see - hopefully i dont need them, not sure yet as ive not done the full running gear asessment (it was very cheap with just 70 k miles but suspected dropped valve + rusted out rear lights panel) ...

hi
im also interested in the recaros depending what trim is? dots or leather?

is it ok if i drool?

what jetting/tubes/ needles/ choke venturi sizes etc did you end up using if i may ask? id love to try this on my 16v, great job!

oh ok, thanks keith - is this the case with many P4 parts now as they are so rare and coming of age?

think ill leave it std for now - im sure it will still outcorner me!

^^ also :

yes i hav ...

hi folks,

im about to rebuild a P4 and have a few donor cars available, one is a 1.7 ie with a near new lowering kit. im wondering if these springs and/ or dampers are compatible with the P4? if no ...

eek!
lucky and unlucky then, my sympathies...maybe you could cut the floor tunnels and 4x4 out for someone converting a sprint? may salvage a few £

wow looks really straight - is it restored or just very well kept?

hi

i have 2 sets of 14" 5 spokes surplus to requirements, both came off 33's so have the all important 58.5mm centres and 4 x98 pcd.
first set are et35 6j X 14 by tekno and have a harder edged tr ...

nothing like a good mystery eh... could try asking the carburettor hospital - the guy who runs it (eric) is really helpful and theres nothing he doesnt know about them. carb overhaul kits are pretty c ...

bit tricky but im sure youll manage it, good luck

tino:
sounds likely, mine was a 91 no cat and 92 cat car btw

that was me above btw

hi

no physical differences mate. valves are same part number, ignition timing change is slight and controlled by the ecu.....it will just make more power than the cat car without the cat and closed ...
