Solely aesthetics, washer bottle and battery are being located in boot, will be looking to hide/tuck wires in some places too, dad is an electrician by trade (not a gangster as my friends think!) and is looking at lengthening wires or even making a custom loom if suitable... he also has access to Pirtek hoses and fittings so will be using them where possible

Have also purchased a combined power steering/header tank off someone on 22b so will be looking to put that in somewhere too.... apparantly it's a genuine prodrive Wrc part

I've probably forgotten something so will edit this post later!!!

Nice spec Tom:10:


Jura

282/282 will be lumpy should also give you an extra bit to play with on your overall rev range though.:twisted:

Thanks Jura, thanks for advice with parts too :-)

Fingers crossed that combined with the extra cc's works!

Looking good Tom

You may have to be very quick with your gear leaver though Tomma. :drive:

Last couple of bits arriving now,

CDF Racing Adjustable Exhaust Pulleys
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...ps21780de7.jpg

RCM Baffle Plate
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/...ps85322f18.jpg

Decided on just a new OEM sump and baffle plate in the end mainly due to the cost which would have an effect on how much longer car will be off the road. Once car is run in I will swap for a Baffled Sump when the time for track and Drag action arrives....

Clutch has been ordered and is on its way

Once Jura's new engine has been built mine should be next in the queue! :-D

it would be nice to see this whipping round the track in germany in May...get your name down!:wife:

that's the plan, I'm sure I'll be allowed just might have to give in to some horrendous wedding planning ideas or an even smaller dog!!!

Nice one Tom:ok:

This RCM Baffled plate looking like everything from RCM so great,agreed on the OEM sump(2.5L or Twin scroll which we are going ) will be OK for you now,later on you can switch to the Baffled sump

CDF exhaust pulleys looks good,you have those new Titanium or Stainless Centre?

But in both cases looks good:ok:

You are going with the ACT clutch or Exedy Twin Plate?



Jura

Thanks Jura, think it was the best option for now or I will forever be buying parts for the build!

They are the steel centres just one of them hasn't been treated like the other hence the difference in colour?

I opted for the ACT Clutch in the end, 6 puk rated to 725ftlb so will hopefully be up to the job for a few miles!

Have the same clutch and it's standing up well :)

Are there any negatives with it in your opinion? I was told they are quite harsh so I'm expecting a tree trunk leg after a couple of thousand miles!

I don't find it that bad , like it a lot more than the os Gekin crap I had had before

Hi Tom

ACT Clutches have good review,plus rebuild ACT will be cheaper than Exedy twin plate

Jura

Aren't they top dollar too!?


I've seen they are pretty popular in the states but never really heard or seen them over here, surprised as they seem really good value for money and have read a few good reviews on them

My bro had an act clutch in his Nissan abused the life out of it on loads of drift days at lyden hill and the pod and it never missed a beat, great clutch
Looks like the plate is knackered when it's brand new tho

i was thinking about the engine bits you want to hide tomma on your bug.i found this pic

That looks awesome, loads of work put in to that! Gonna look at tucking some of the wires but doubt I could get the engine bay that bare..... Or clean!!

Looks like a great project mate. If there's any parts we can help with, just ask 8-)

Cheers bob, have sent you a pm :-)

Sad to see the car totally stripped of parts down at Japperformance

?

Popped down Japperformance on Saturday and there it was out front Chris, no fmic and back on standard suspension and wheels

Wonder what happened there then :(

Just read through the whole thing and was well looking forward to seeing the end result, gutted now. Wonder what happened after all that time and Money spent on it

That's a shame, looked like a great project. :(
