Jaffas 2.5 classic, chat

[2-jaffacake-tone]

cheers mate, sounds sweet will give you a txt about collection .

[stiggy]

Looking really good, coming along nicely

[Steve_PPP]

looking good mate, bet you can't wait to start putting it all back together now!

[2-jaffacake-tone]

so today the plan was to sprip down the suspension right down the the hubs replace bearings if needed clean and paint (thanks stiggy)

i started on the rear to find that the new rear brakes wont fit on my rear hubs so need to sort diffrent hubs out

so i thought i would get on with the fronts untill the driveshaft wouldnt come out of the hub , so had to give it a bit of persuasion (over 10 tones!) but it came out. so they got cleaned up and painted .
also made a start on removing glass and door handles, to swap to fiberslass doors

[2-jaffacake-tone]

before i can get the inside painted i need to finish the firewall and the rear panel. also got to cut the front pannel about for the fmic piping remove the battry tray then the engine bay can be painted aswell

a few pics

Looking very nice Tone.

Good to see some "jaffa" going on there already too

[2-jaffacake-tone]

back off my holiday
When i was away my suspension bushes turned up.so iv started to re-bush.
done things the wrong way round really should off removed the old bushes before i got the units painted having to be very carfull

my plan

drill out center



then run a hacksaw throu the outer sleave

[C. J.]

looks like the plan worked

[2-jaffacake-tone]

now finished the firewall








Slight change of plan with the converting to windey windows
going for somthink lighter

rear


front drivers side


perpex The windows will be up all the time, i have a little sliding window hatch for the drivers side.


hopfully should be getting my fiberglass doors very soon as there are now ready


my block is away at the moment havinging some work done on it.

Cracking stuff Tone.

This is one hell of a thread matey

Perspex windows, fiberglass doors, with you built like a racing whippet 600+bhp. Will this thing stay on the tarmac? As most of the fast cars have names i think we should start a thread on Jaffas car. I think a good one would be The JAFFA imaginative eh . With a badge on the boot saying you have just been Jafferd

Clockwork Jaffa

I can just see tone with a bowler hat on

Great work Tone.
There was a carbon prop shaft on piston heads the other week, might be worth a look, as your going lightweight.

It was once............. twice............... three times he posted.

And I lurrrrrrve yoooooooooooooooooooooo

[C. J.]

Is that what you wanted

[2-jaffacake-tone]

Thanks guys. Still cutting bits out of the shell! The inside and bay are being preped next week ,hopefully painted the week after I hope .

There you go Tone, you were missing the very last bracket on the image code.

Either that or you have become the new post whore

He knew that the more you rubbed off the easier it would be to cut

[2-jaffacake-tone]

Lmao sorry dyney

picked up inlet manafold witch has had wedge welded on

[Nick]

whats the wedge for?

[2-jaffacake-tone]

hi nick, the wedge is used because i am turning the inlet manafold round so the throttle body faces the front the wedge is used to to i have more clearance away from the bonnet with the front mount pipe work

the picture dosent show clearly that its wedged.

tone

[Jolly Green Monster]

nice work

if you are intending running a standard idle valve you might need to cut some of the bonnet for clearance.

Simon

[2-jaffacake-tone]

Cheers si, I have de-skined an aly bonnet, I also plan to heat up the outlet on the icv and rotate it down slightly, I think things are going to be tight as I plan on useing manafold spacers. Is there a limiting factor useing a ph1.5 manafold as the pelum is quite small.

[Jolly Green Monster]

if too tight just remove ICV and blank it off.. I am not using one at the moment although fitted to block the hole.. not had time to sort.

yes pelum could be an issue.. the cossie one does appear to work very well.. I am using a version 1 widdenned (bigger still pelum) and adaptors to fit my v6 heads.. whcih appears to work as well as a cossie manifold.

Simon

[2-jaffacake-tone]

cossie one would be good, but i have had sti 3/4 heads gasflowed an rebuit also have brought rcm uprated retailers an springs an rcm vernier pulleys

id like to go avcs really but will wait for when i go 2.35.
