Bravo owners forum thing mate, even got all the adsusters too. 1 thing i am stuck on is how to adust the damping on rear shockers.

 

[spit]

There is no damping control on any of the shocks.
The only adjustment is "height" .
My rear adjuster rings are set about 30mm off the bottom.Should be fine if you do the same

 

[donny lad]

Mine are dampening and height. ive set the fronts to the firmest setting lol

 

[donny lad]

Well had a chance to make a start on the new engine today.

Firstly stripped the old inlet off. put mine on, noticed that the old inlet had also been matched to the head.

Had the rocker cover off to clean it and couldnt believe how clean the head was.

swapped two hoses for red silcone ones.

Replaced the original NGK R's for the iridiun ones.

Yours are different to mine then.
My ones are just height adjustable via the rings.
Are you changing the clutch/belts while it's out ?

If you are going for power...about 350bhp or above,you may be best going with a 6 paddle clutch like I have but they are a pig to use in traffic and you have to get used to them.
If you plan on sticking to around 300bhp,I would go for an organic.
I will be going for 350bhp soon so I chose this one.

 

[donny lad]

whats the price difference between the 2 bud?

 

[donny lad]

well what a day, finaly got my hubs and shafts, new ecu kit, cables, manifold and ive also fitted the gtec chip to ecu too. Will post pics when i can.
