There is no bore stamped on the wheel and they came off an Impreza (56.1 I believe) I looked here but they are only listing 73.1 in the drop down menu fleabay Mike, although I ended up sealing the deal outside of the auction. Although the auction price was a bit steep I am surprised that no one put a bid in I have come to the same conclusion, they are 65mm and have found and ordered Rays hub rings https://www.part-box.com/rays73x1x66.1-rays-hub-ring Just had confirmation they are shipping tomorrow. Thanks for the spacer info, when I got them fitted I will have a measure up and see where I want them to be, probably just inside the arches for me.

Given mine a wash this morning, probably a little premature 🙄

Mr muscle window and glass applied with scrumpled up newsapaper 👍

I did the mani and kept the stock cat back for two reasons, 1, performance gains 2, keeping it quiet. It works a treat as I now have no torque dip and it really isnt very much louder than stock
-
I have the TD el mani and overpipe with remap. Its a good set up that removes the torque dip and gives a few extra horses. The bonus is that if you go turbo at a later date then the mani is already in place for that.

Cornwall is a f#@$€&g awful place to drive around. Unless you are in to surfing steer clear -
I do like the Italian style of driving, it is wild but engaging. Never a dull moment. It is when you come home that you realise how bad it is over here.

Put it in the bin and plead ignorance when plod has a word 👍

I have another 86 now and I am back on the stock setup which feels very spongy compared to the TD kit. I may just go for the uprated fluid and YS pads and see how I get on with those
-
I had the TD brake kit on my last 86 and there was a noticeable improvement over stock, a much firmer pedal and no brake fade on track although I did put some of that down to my own rapidly improving braking technique. I will be buying the TD kit again.

Those triples are better than money in the bank, never had one myself but I did buy myself a 350LC a few years back. Nothing below 6000rpm then all hell let lose. Great fun but it has cost me dearly to keep it running. I wish I had never bought it but I cant bring myself to sell it either.

Yours had suspension!!!!! and you could pump it up!!!!!. There is always something new to learn hahaha

Well hang on thar one minute, mine was a 1300 sport you know. I have fond memories of mine. It was a real shitbox that I cared not about, often crashing in to my mates Cortina and vice versa (before the time when h&s turned everybody in to pussies). Sold it for a few quid more than I paid for it as the 1300 engines were popular with the mini brigade.

Exhaust system will take more than a couple of miles to warm up properly. Go for a good long drive and then check it, should be clear then.
-
Sounds quite normal to me. I think you are probably seeing moisture from inside the exhaust evaporating off.

Im sure some one will be along shortly to talk you out of selling it.
