Car Things This Weekend
I feel devoid of car related things now back at work and not driving round in a convoy of interesting motors - what car events are on this weekend people ?
|
#2

|
||||
World Rallycross at Lydden Hill.
|
#3
|
||||
|
||||
My 'car related thing' for the weekend will be cleaning all the bugs off it and working out what to do with it...

|

prepping and gathering bits for Rich to work his magic Tuesday

Probably catch some live streaming of the Nurburgring 24hr's.
Might actually wash the car properly. Consider a BBQ every day of the bank holiday weekend. Convince Steve to purchase an STI lump with appropriate turbo... Purchase exhaust manifold gaskets and dipstick seal/o-ring along with oil and filter in prep for new sump fitment sometime soon. Work out what to do about 'track unfriendly' exhaust noise issues. |

I put a bung in the EVO, but it was a pain and kept shaking free with the vibrations. Tracks like Brands they have the drive by's so it would pass a static but ping the drive by. Had I have kept it I would have fitted a quieter system (I actually did buy one but sold it before fitting it). Milltek are pretty quiet. |

3" de-cat down pipe, un-resonated centre section and a Milltek back box, pinged the drive-by 3 times before they bought me in. I have a resonated centre section to fit but don't think it will make enough of a difference. |

A td04 actuator should be easy to come by or even borrow. Or you could buy this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122510628758 |

Depends on budget. £20 could fix it.
Vf35 would need injectors |
#19

I posted the same time as you, think your TD05 is a better deal

Thanks mate, appreciate it

The 18G might be a bit much power-wise? Concerned that I still have a minor head gasket leak as the expansion bottle was still getting high in Germany this year after laps, but don't think it blew coolant out like last year (ambient temp was lower this year though). Upping the power might force my hand into rebuilt/new long engine? Although I'm still considering this option now, rather than just fix turbo.... That's an option... but same as above point... could be a cost effective swap though as can get hold of pinks easily enough. Just depends if a good mapper is willing to help out Maybe..... will let you know mate I'm expecting that a 99k miles ragged TD04 probably needs to go in the bin. When diagnosing the actuator issue we could sometimes hear a funny metallic sound, almost like occasionally the compressor wheel is touching the housing so expect there's considerable play in the shaft. Won't know until its off the car though. |

Throw a used td04 back on for time being with gaskets prob could do all this for sub £90 and use while save for a rebuild or sti swap..

Have you checked the float and play in The turbo, easy enough to do if you have a silicone inlet pipe?

We had that on one of Rob's old cars, we were both convinced it was the turbo binding, but it ended up being a loose wastegate sorted by applying more pre-load to the actuator. If your bearings are shot you would be blowing oil through at a fair rate. The oil seals are like mini circlips either side of the bearing sleeve. So if the sleeve is worn it would soon knock out the seals. |

I had this too!! Totally forgot , thought same but was the waste gate penny rattling caused but actuator preload issue I swapped a new turbo in and solved but didn't need it as found issue after removed..

I love forums.
Someone asks what car events are on this weekend and the thread turns into a full on diagnostic session. |

Lydden Hill for me with a couple of mates (may aswell take advantage of free VIP tickets again), much to the wifes disgust!

Varnished patio table and 2 chairs.
Went for walk on Bexhill seafront. Skipped the ice cream as too cold and windy..... Back home to varnish another 2 chairs in the sun. How can being 5 miles from Bexhill seafront be so different and why are chairs so damn fiddly and boring to varnish. Now time for cider, ice and some home made burgers.... |

VERY nearly ended up doing a 10 hour round trip to buy a TVR chimera, but couldn't be arsed with the drive and possabiliy of it being a dog.
So ended up fitting front front ABS sensor to Daughters Mini cooper, Fitted ARB bushes, Fixed and replaced passenger door lock /central locking, Fitted broken rear fog light, and now packing on the calories courtesy of captain morgans and waiting for a batman grille takeaway. |

I like the Type R. Not the best number plate... 💩
You could have popped round... that's about two minutes from my house! |

It's already been enhanced, running 240 naturally aspirated ponies but the brakes are stock. I'm going to do a track day in it for sure. It's going to replace the daily driver as well. It's a really good all rounder.
