Looks cooler when you show your car off at the car meet and if you ever do a track day its much easier to cool the engine down.
Plus for me I had to buy some stuff from a Russian site that had no english and got it delivered so was well pleased.

Engine is standard looking and not hard for me to just use the usual prop

Anyone know why it says the strut cylinder must be uppermost and piston down?
I see the MK2's is the other way.

What difference does it make?
Is it a clearance issue?

No Idea, followed the instructions that came with the kit and have had no issues since.

 

[Polly]

Okay thanks.
Just trying to be spot on.

My Stuta came with 2x5mm thick spacers/washers for the domed bolts on the wing it looks like.
Nothing in the instructions.

Anyone get these or had to fit them.
Is there a clearance issue when it is closed or something.

On the kit i bought from Russia it shows the following

Thats where mine came from but it had two 5mm thick washers presumably to go under the bolts in your picture.
It did have some thin 'normal' washers too!!

The thick ones are rubbish anyway I will not use them then.
