Started work on the throttle cable. Needed a stop of some sort.
Ordered a rubber stop with an m8 stud coming off the back.
Throttle pedal travel is rather short so going to take some working out to get all the pedals level.
Started looking at refitting my bias valve in the the brake line...
The bearing itself presses up to the circlip but the hub flange presses through the bearing with no clip, so if the flange isn’t pressed in all the way the disc and wheel will sit further out.
Know what you mean but I did this with my 54mm hubs and Laguna hubs heavy handed with no issues, there such big lumps on these I can’t see that being the issue.
But I could be wrong as there’s always a first time
Something can’t be assembled correctly. I personally can’t see the hub it’s self or hub flange being bent, more likely not pressed in square or fat enough so the disc is sitting to far forward. Could just be the Caliper or carrier not fit correctly tho.
If you get it apart, remove the disc and...
So we have working gears now, although 5th and reverse are difficult but I’ve read this is the case with the engine not running. Anyone confirm this?
Haven’t finished the cables yet but they work. I’d rather get these long cables working than pay another £250+ on another set. If these are a...
Are you going K20?
Yeah I’ve seen them. The hybrid cables I have are the similar length as the DC5 and don’t think 100mm shorter will cut it 😂. I really want to use these hybrid ones as they’re meant to be really good.
I nearly took them apart last night to see if I can shorten them. If you...
Managed to drill and tap the shifter tower.
Pretty poor design considering it’s designed for this type of shifter as the mounting holes for the shifter line up with the legs and weld underneath🤦🏻♂️ Had to mount it over and back to get the front 2 bolt holes in the middle of the legs.
cables...
Ive got hybrid racing cables but not sure if I’ll use them as they’re massively long. I want to use them as they look much better than Oe cables.
When I redo the cage I’ll be looking at Moving the seat further back but not this year.
😂😂 my wife’s asking why I’m laughing 😂😂
I’ll leave it in hear and chock the wheels 😂
I wasn’t planning on refitting the handbrake to be honest. Depends if it’s required in whatever race series I enter eventually
Making tracks on the shifter.
Once the shifter cables are routed I can put the fuel and brake lines back in, adding my bias valve back in and more importantly getting the wiring started.
If you undo the coolant bottle and brake fluid reservoir from the bulk head and pull them away, you might be able to squeeze it out the side from the top.
Might be worth a try as this is how I fitted my puremotorsport manifold
More parts arriving 😁
So ECU, full race spec engine loom and universal Kswap harness to match engine loom ordered.
Engine loom was in stock so that’s arrived and test fitted already
Brand new everything and everything specced to race/Motorsport with a lovely bulk head plug 👌🏻

Personally I can’t see the TB making that much difference. I had one when I fist had the car and never mapped it.
You can remove the breather plate yeah 👍🏻
