The EGR valve has been blanked ...

Hi Guys,

So ive done the swap from K8 to KLDE. I have a few issues.

a. I have KLA2 ecu from 94-95 MX6 im using. (to suit similar year engine)
b. The engine only had one coolant sensor. the loom has two plugs.
c. i re-tapped for an additional sensor.
d. has made no ...

Idle sorted. It was the vacuum pipe that had slipped off.

No blockages in rad. Thermo workin ok.

Got it sorted guys. You can get bushes the same size: outer diam, 22mm. Inside diam, 16mm. Length, 24mm. You call the make of the bush oilite. You cn google that. However you need to resess a groove through the bush for the piston rod to fit through it.

Hope this is of help to someone.

Hi Guys,

I have sent my calipers off to get refurbished and powder coated as part of my project. Problem is the firm doing the work (although a highly reccommended company) cannot source new "needle bearings" for the rear calipers.

I believe these are used as part of the handbrake connectors (when ...

Hi ppl,
