    Did you use any sealer on these or PTFE tape on the seats? because they WILL leak without it. The rubber O rings aren't touching anything to have an effect and tightening them up wont be enough.

    They're not in yet, still a way off, looking into getting some "long nose" injectors now, or possibly opening the seats up a bit to get the injectors further into the manifold.

    But thanks for the heads up!:thumbup:

    Can't see that being neccesary. Will need space to atomise around the port wall. You may get fuel firing straight onto the centre and running down .

    After a year or so of procrastination, I finally got round to getting the tyres fitted on my RS's, and set about fitting them on the car, so after the boring job of fitting a new balljoint on the daily Cordoba (which now appears to have shat its inner CV joint, how nice!) I got on with it...

    Rears will get a 10mm spacer, and a bit of camber, as well as losing a good inch or so out the ride height, fronts will get tucked into the arches a bit more once I've done some more "surgery" but yeh, it's coming along...
