Supercharging, like turbo charging is a method of achieving forced induction, which is essentially blowing air into your inlet manifold (this is why superchargers are often called “blowers”) instead of letting the pistons suck air into the inlet manifold – this is referred to as being “na… text/html 2021-03-01T11:39:53+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/wheels?rev=1614598793&do=diff Wheels This can be a confusing area. The off-set of the wheels is also known as ET, basically you are looking for around 10-0mm offset. So for example if you have a set of 15” wheels that have ET 30 stamped on them you will need 30mm spacers to achieve 0 or 20mm spacers to get to 10mm offset. Without the correct spacers the car will have a narrow track and will not handle as well or look as good. Nor will the wing stays fit. text/html 2022-01-18T16:03:34+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/brake_clutch_fuel_lines?rev=1642521814&do=diff Brake / Clutch / Fuel Lines ABS and Proportioning valve Most late donors come with ABS and it's a personal choice if you remove or keep it, most people remove it.

Make sure that all connections are clean and tight and that they are secured properly ensuring no cables can contact moving or hot parts and that rubber lined P clips or plastic ones are used. If cables pass through an alloy panel then you should use a proper grommet to protect the cable. P clips should be a maximum of 200mm apart. text/html 2020-07-29T14:05:28+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://exocet.uk/doku.php/wiki:welcome?rev=1596031528&do=diff Welcome to your new DokuWiki Congratulations, your wiki is now up and running.
