Its gone a bit man down as one of the tie rod mounts had been bent and rewelded back on funny. When i put it on a bench to tig it up i found it might be a lot of work to sort it out as its all out of shape.

Not trying to sound negative, but unless the engine cannot move is it possible the timing could be altered when say going from say first to second very violently, or doing an emergency start? No mate its not on the timing cover. It should work fine i cant see how it wont. thinks simon. I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Not trying to sound negative, but unless the engine cannot move is it possible the timing could be altered when say going from say first to second very violently, or doing an emergency start? Impossible, the rad mount is solidly bolted to the gearbox? Good work, deadlines always help. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph
