1. ive just fitted my front coilovers and they catch on the springs a little, i havent adjusted them yet and theyre near standard height (ive got cesaro's with 195/50's). has anyone had to use spacers and ifso how much?

2. the wire that comes up from mt lamba sensor doesnt seem to have anything to plug in to, the loom and exhaust are from the same donor car. any ideas?

3. which pipes did anybody use to go from the main plastic pipe to the heater matrix? and which pipe goes in to the bottom of the header tank, is it the one from the side of the head?

im sure theres more but those will do for starters, thanks in advance

1. I've heard alot of people have this trouble, unsure as to what size of spacer you have to use - perhaps someone will clarify...

Failing that, I'm sure you could give a good guess at how much you'll need to stop it fouling the tyre

I think a pair of 5mm's should do the trick

ive sorted the spacer issue, a combination of setting camber up and moving to different tyres will give me about another 3mm.

any help with the other 2 would be appreciated.

the pipe on the side of the head goes to 1 of the heater matrix pipes and 1 of them pipes off the plastic rail(furthest to the passenger side of the car) goes tot he header tank

and as for pipework all i do is go down to a scrap yard and get a handful of pipes with a few 90degree bends on themand just cut to suit and join if needed to as its better for clearence on the inlet plenum
ill try n get some pics 2day
