Increased strength billet roller rockers for 8v and 16v HDi engines?

You couldnt design a low entry jack much lower than whats already on the market (about 80mm) without compromising strength and anything really lowtends to be light enough to use a non hydraulic race jack that is probably less than 20mm high

Manafacturers would already make them if it was possible to make them safely without costing shit loads.

Niall, are you aware of just how much of a technological achievement the a2 was at the time of release? Miles ahead of it's time, which is why you barely see any about.

Why miles ahead? Apart from being aluminium and economically more advanced than others?

Lol here we go.
G.C.S.E's - waste of time IMO. I have to go back to college to redo mine as the expire after 5 years and are not recognised by anyone. Bullshit! Member of the 99% warning or you're nothing club 2000 Moonstone 1.8 Meridian - Sold 2000 China 3dr XS - Dead 1998 Diablo 3dr XSI

It is f*ck-ugly, granted lol. The whole design, the aero-dynamics, the engine placement, the interior design, use of materials, the access panel at the front with all your service items, literally the whole design from the ground up was brilliant. Features first seen on this car ten years ago are beginning to be commonplace on brand new cars at the upper end of the market.
