just wondering if L plate drivers can go on a track day of some sort? and if they can, do you need an instructor or a passenger who has their racing license? cheers

No. Whitewalling looks good on old school style wheels/cars with a decent sidewall height. I think it'd just look weird on low profile tyres on a modern car

Also guys, what's with the BOV position with my car? (see SIG pic!) I don't think it's working properly. It releases the air but very lazily. I mean not the sfittt sound I'm used to hearing but, bloooooorrrrr sound. I have read similar sound from BOV set ups. Can I have comments as to suggestion cause mech wonders how it is working too? Appreciate replies. Is mech worrying me for nothing?
Incidently, the vacuum line runs from BOV to the IM (right side). I'll put a pic up soon as

my guess is it is a single overhead camshaft engine.
just because mazda 16V engines are dohc, doesn't mean other manufacturers are the same. |

well it sais its DOHC, the cam gear is to the side of the head, and the sparkplugs are down the middle, whereas most SOHC engines iv seen the plugs are on the side of the head, usualy near to the exhaust ports as the injectors ocupie the other side.
most iv seen on a SOHC 4cyl is 12 valves, and that camshaft was way to crammed |

haha true, i didn't even look. the 2nd cams is probably driven by a chain linking the 2 cams inside/under the rocker cover.
or it's using a dohc intake manifold, as it may have better flow properties compared to the sohc version? dunno, whomever post the pic should give us a link to where the pic was from. might explain a few things more. Last edited by project.r.racing; 20-07-2009 at 04:25 PM. |

guys, a closer look identifies it's a SOHC engine, just like the B6 non-turbo. You've only got to look at width of tappet cover. I shoulda picked that up b4 but, the IM through me off. Bloody Splitter whoever put that pic up! Sorry but it really had me going from the cam gear, know what I mean?

Nope, it's a DOHC 16V as it says - a VW Golf engine. Chain-driven at the other end.
