NA base timing

Postby M100_DMM » Thu 25.03.2010, 21:36

Some advice required, please: is the base timing on the NA the same as on the turbo models?

BSOOM :smt102 .
But then I'll never understand why you sold that lovely Silk Red S2 (assuming you got the brakes fixed). :chair:

Not to go to off topic, the N/A only has one coil...

There are two types...

They're a few quid on the Aftersales list...

Back on topic.... The N/A electrical manual (EML) D100T0327J was in the aftersales list for less than £20 - be quick 'cause there were less than 100 left! :-D

Quickly off topic again.... did you realise the NA tyre pressure is different to the SE?

It cannot be be denied: I'm a bit daft. Even allowing for that, what I don't understand is what possessed me to let SWMBO (well, she was then) persuade me into selling my Pacific Blue S2. :bonk:

You're welcome to drop by any time you're down this way.

Nope, I can't say I knew that. However, my NA has S2 alloys so the correct pressures will probably be different to those of an NA with the standard OZ wheels.
