Thats the idea :). My changes on the six speed were 400 to 250ms using flat shift and I mullered the synchros so should be quicker and not need rebuilding so often.
With flatshift and no not having to use the clutch changes around 100ms

Massive thanks to Stew @ tfs racing for all his hard work to mount turbos and fit the box.

Engine bay repainted, turbo support brackets painted and fitted etc etc

Towing will cost a small fortune & if its a stag do :hurrah: then all hire Swifts or similar. :twisted:
That gear change is unreall

Jolly Green Monster 08-12-2012 10:35 AM

Exactly although towing would be less fuel than the car and not a 22litre tank :)

Spent a bit of time working on/with the car nothing major, lot of tidying or wiring and altering to how I want and some more weight removed from the car. HeadLights wired and driven it a few times it has been dry ish.

Hopefully some more inuse videos and pictures coming.
Quick vid when I tested the new camera.
The bleeping from the camera thinking I have had an accident lol
I need to adjust sensitivity.

Little tip before watching, turn the volume down :-D

Hongkongfooi 11-01-2013 06:36 PM

vid is teasing us....and you have pm:thanx:

Jolly Green Monster 26-01-2013 03:30 PM

With nothing major planned for upgrading over winter I seem to have done a lot and have a lot more stuff to do.

adjusted the ride height a little
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...AAEDDAE5C6.jpg

Cars had a bit of a health check with cam timing checked, compression test and bore scope check of the pistons and valves etc so decided no need to refresh the engine and in reality although the use of it has so far been on boost most of the time its not exactly done many miles ;)

mapped it on the new turbos and although happy with the power and the spool and torque the shape of the power curves werent ideal for racing so the exhaust manifolds are being redone (as I was concerned they might cause an issue as were never specced for the size of turbos now fitted).. Stew @ TFS racing has been tasked with the job of making replacement manifolds (I have probably annoyed the wossits off him with my ocd requests and last minute adjustments and changing my mind more times than changing gear on my way there ;))
Stew seems to be dancing whilst working so I cant have annoyed him too much yet.

http://www.facebook.com/video/embed?...28158210551253

I then have some Christmas presents I bought for the car to fit (SD motorsport rear subframe, white line adjustable rear arms - thanks Alyn @ AS performance and a Carbon Prop - Thanks RCM for the cracking deal on it - still laughing at Olly "you would rather be killed by Carbon?" hopefully not) and then I shall remap it for the new manifolds and hopefully get power curves more to my liking, and I have a lot of tidying up planned - arches need repainting, boot needs painting and need to collect and paint and fit new bonnet (Haven't forgotten Mark Mr Lateral ;))

Was a shame the airfield day was cancelled because of the snow so looks like my first real play with the new gearbox will be Marham in March for 30-130

Stews finished new manifolds and it was nice to hear the engine running again yesterday :)

Rear sdm subframe is in progress

http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...ps5c712efe.jpg

New rcm prop is too nice to fit, carbon is just lush.

Simon

SpecB 01-02-2013 06:02 PM

That subframe is a piece of art! Would they be any good on a road car?

Jolly Green Monster 01-02-2013 06:16 PM

This one no.

Needs fuel tank removed, spare wheel well removed, its solid mounted so you might have some vibration you might have issues with on a road car

SpecB 02-02-2013 07:39 AM

Do they make a road version, mine rear bud frame is looking tired, plus I want to replace the lower arms etc. anyway

DukeBoy 05-02-2013 06:18 AM

Is that the fuel filter over the o/s exhaust box? Wouldn't a heat shield over it be better to keep fuel temp down?

Jolly Green Monster 05-02-2013 08:14 AM

Loads of space but also considering shielding as part of a defuser when I do aero mods

Jolly Green Monster 05-02-2013 08:21 AM

You can see the kind of gap here
