Ask 10 people what's the best oil, you'll get 10 different answers.

Don't stress about it. A very small percentage of people are oil nazis, and they can go read bob the oil guy all they want.

For the rest of us, a reputable brand 5w-40 or 10w-50 is fine for 95% of drivers here.

I have MT90 is my S14 box, going to dump it shortly, seems to be too thick for the application

Hard to shift into second when cold, gets better when warm but still not as what I would have liked. Really sucks taking off from a set of lights and trying to force it into 2nd, while some daewoo is tailgating and trying not to crunch the gears

I basically went to autobahn grabbed motul full syn gbox, engine, diffs , coolant, everything, cost 500 got a 100 discount for spending so much.

I'm a MOTUL biased whore.

tracked all my litre bikes for years on the shit and never had an issue so I just stuck with it but there are many good full syn oils out there now days..

no worries skidza ,

any problem with filter relocation kits ?

as a mate said his motor rattles for the first few seconds ,until the pressure builds up ,

I thought there would be oil pressure in the lines.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
