Back on car. Got it all built back up, and sitting how I wanted Pics to come soon While I had the inlet manifold off, I opened up and re-shaped the inside of the neck near the throttle body. I then drilled out and fitted a 1.8T temp sensor. As there meant to not get heat soak, and also work much better with forced induction. I also drilled out and changed the vacuum fitting. but didn't get pic after finishing the vacuum fitting. Before re-fitting it on car, removed the sensors, an gave it a good very good hot wash, degrease, light acid wash, neutralise wash, then clean hot wash again. to3 points

Another vr6 I'm buying off a mate, it's in very good condition floor is solid and it has a tiny rust hole the size of a 10p on one of the sills, the black one will be stripped and most of the stuff will go onto the new one.3 points

Back to the suspension and how the car sat..... after getting the customised lower arms, ball joints, and new custom suspension back on, and testing how low the car sat. I still wasn't happy, the car still needed to sit a tiny bit lower, maybe more if possible. but the lower arms still bound on the subframe too early for my liking, and i wanted it sat lower! So there was only two routes I could take, as I've already done alot to make it sit lower. 1. ball joint raiser, or 2. raised turrets. Normal ball joint raisers / extensions don't fit and work with VR6 ball joints, meaning i would of had2 points

Haven't found time to do an update in awhile, been flat out working on the car in my spare time, kinda why there been no update, as I've been to busy doing stuff to it. Finished heat wrapping my exhaust, I did the down pipe ages ago, but never did the headers, as previously i did it while the whole engine was built up. So got round to heat wrapping the headers. I also heat wrapped the under side or my inlet manifold, With this special ceramic heat shielding. It's called Zircotec. I went for ZircoFlex 3. This is there website on the stuff: http://www.zircotec.com/page/--zircoflex-iii/150 Th1 point

It did have an extra 12v in it untill it got dropped off at my house. Thanks again by the way1 point -
hi mate, the wire is probably to the siren (if it has one) and there would also be a bonnet trigger (little plunger on front panel) for the alarm as well. i have found this link that has the wiring diagram http://www.escortevolution.co.uk/forums/topic/96661-cobra-3190-wiring/ what numbers are the red and white wires hiding? 3?9? from the diagram the green wire on the mono block looks like its the engine stop you will need to bridge this possibly to the 12V in. I'm sorry im not an alarm fitter ;-) the only other way will be to follow the monoblock wires to the original loom and reinstate. appar1 point

Hi, it´s not possible to run pistons für Chargers without one. The comp would be too low to let the engine work well. Drive stock pistons till you upgrade.1 point
