hey blokes, i've got a set of extractors, sports muffler, just wanting to know how my timing should go, should it be standard, advanced or retarded?? if so how much? tah tonguey

If you advance it to 20 degrees BTDC (standard is 15) and run it on premium, you will find a noticeable difference in the preformance. I did it to mine and it goes a bit harder.

yeh im gonna try that but does anyone else have any suggestions as well, like because of my extractors and exhaust do i need to adjust the timing? i have a timing light so its alright cheers tonguey

No the exhaust wont make any adjustments to the timing NEEDED, but i'd dare say u'd want to. the more power the merrier I run 25 degrees BTDC on my N/a and run Ultimate (98 octane). The only time the car pings is on a 40+ degree day when the foot is to the floor. which I dont do any more. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

25 degrees, **** ay!!! does it make a hell of alot of difference, cos i ran mine on 20 degrees and its noticeably quicker, but do u have to run it on premium or is that just an extra bit of power?? cheers tonguey

I'm not really sure, cus i dont know what 20 degrees BTDC is like Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey guys, just wondering where i can go to get this timing advance thing done as i don't have a timing light. also, does it make the car rev higher at idle?

As you advance the timing the car will rev higher at idle but you can readjust the idle speed when you are finished.

how would one adjust the idle speed ?

Make sure the computer diagnostic screw is full counter clockwise then at the back of the inlet manifold disconnect the electrical plug that plugs into the AAC valve then turn the screw on the IAA unit (I forgotten which way) until it is roughly 650 RPM then re connect the the plug, the revs should now be roughly 750 RPM.
