Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
Thanks! :)
If you're going to CSS, pop over and have a look at the RS2. :)
Thanks! Your cup looks immaculate! :D
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I'll have had it fitted 2 weeks on Monday; I'm just as impressed now as the day I picked it up.
I'm unsure of what power it will make and results I've seen from other cars seem to vary (as will all modifications really), but regardless of...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
Car is now cleaned and ready for CSS tomorrow. :D
Anyway...washed, hoovered, waxed, etc.
Luckily, I had time to stick another layer of dodo juice light fantastic on; good for producing a nice deep gloss look to the paint...

Handbrake is still broken; couldn't find anywhere that kept a replacement in stock! It's the offside cable that's snapped, where it attaches to the calliper.
Replacement cable ordered, to arrive on Monday though. :)

Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
To be honest my bonnets pretty shabby in places too! Got a few dents in it, stone chips and a scratch! :dapprove:
Any news on the gearbox/wobble since you posted this?
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I don't think the catches will be done today now, as the handbrake cable needs sorting and I need to clean the car ready for CSS tomorrow! :)
Really happy I didn't get the completely flush ones now then, as the hole would have to be perfect...
Slightly off topic; I can't remember if you use your 182 as just a track/weekend toy now? If it's used everyday, how do you find living with the PF97's for general road use? :)
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
As far as excellent timing goes; a couple of days before CSS and my handbrake cable has snapped! :dapprove:
It's on the drivers side, right where it meets the calliper. If I lift the handle until it's almost vertical, the other side is...
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
It's brushed on satin black hammerite; first coat, then an hour or so later, a second coat. :)
I think you would get better results spraying them actually; I just couldn't be bothered to remove them! :o lol!
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
Thanks a lot! :D
I have another few photos from Sunday; I was just about to bin the photos I hadn't used and came across these that I thought were worth a go. :)
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
lol! On my old car, they were fitted to a single skin bonnet.
The double skin and shaping on the Clio bonnet looks like it could be fun!
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
And, speaking of the aerocatch, I've not long collected them from the post office. :)
Excellent service from Driftworks again; very quick delivery and competitive price!
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I told them it was a new air intake/intake manifold. I don't think it was on their system, as he said it'll appear on my policy documents as something slightly different. :)
The locking and non-locking are the same price. Yes, I'm...
Yes mate, all is going well. Thanks! :)
They're made by cat cams still, aren't they? Do you know how they differ from the 428 profile; I'm assuming they're not going to be too aggressive or lumpy?
I'm just waiting to hear back regarding the calibration work; then I can either proceed with...
Would be interested to see the graphs, if you're able to post them up? :)
I spotted those 438 profile cams on k-tec's website and wondered what they were about; you must be one of the first? Be interesting to see what they do for the car. :)
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
I've literally just had my insurance renewal notification emailed through; £760 with everything declared and breakdown cover. :)
Can't complain really, having just turned 23 last week.
Re: Ollie's Silver Cup - JMS RS2/428s/Wilwood/2118
V-Power FTW! Double points, at least get a nice Ferrari polo shirt out of it! ;)
All the smaller things have been checked though, so it only really leaves the box! :)
If like mine, the RS2 is really good even unmapped. You can tell it...
