Thanks everyone :)
It ran last year just rested into place lol, its a pretty tight fit around the cage but I am going to weld a couple of brackets to the cage to screw through to when I get the gearlinkage bar welded
I would love to :)
17th and 27th of June are the only two trackdays I can...
Thanks this was a picture of the engine bay before so its a lot less cluttered :)
Yes unfortunately I keep a pretty accurate record of it all :S lol!
Thanks Oli very kind of you to say :)!
Thanks for all the really nice comments guys really appreciate it :)
Heated screen on mine is glass mate :)
Thanks Dave once its done then I can forget about it all and just drive it :)
Haha its to show that my OCD didn't make me waste money buying a new aerocatch even though I do want to ;)...
Update time!
Right so it was the end of February since I did a proper update on here so sorry if you have seen this stuff on facebook as I know thats been busy recently which is great :)
The main things that have been going on are the slow jobs of making little brackets and the wiring. I'm...
No don't have it at the moment. Spent a fair bit of time after my engine blew up last year looking into various engine specs. As others have said all this kit does is solve the hydro lifters and doesn't help any of the other problems with revving the F4R so high such as massive piston speeds...
I would love to get one as I know the quality of Nicks work after all the bits he's supplied for my car. However I doubt this will work in my car as the gearstick position is moved back in my car and the gear lever assembly is top mounted rather than underneath. I have been meaning to call Nick...
Thought I would give a bit of my input as I used to own an R27 (197 with stickers on) I used the car most days as my daily driver and owned it for 18 months and did about 30,000 miles in it. The car probably did around 20 or so track days and stood up pretty well to the abuse (Helped that is was...
Only watched the first video looks like a lot of fun :) The driver has skilllz the way he is super smooth correcting the oversteer and getting the amount of opposite lock perfect each time is very impressive
Could be although the old engine loom was just laid in the same way I have done this one but I suppose the Raychem wire TDF used could of also added to the flexibility. Will be good to see what you do :) Getting rid of the stock loom was definitely the way to go.
Pointless for it helping to...
Do you actually need a speedo or cruise control though mate? I never look at a speedo on track, just depends if you are ever wanting to put it back on the road.
TDF did my original engine loom in DR25 and it just seem to remain a little more flexible and also shrinks down in a uniform shape. The motorsport electronics guy who's doing the connectors for me uses tyco for all his stuff so i'm sure you'll be fine :)
I want to but not sure I can be bothered...
Thanks Dan :) Still might be dragging it with me to the Ring can't decide
Thanks Kenny! I didn't use Raychem in the end looked at it fairly extensively but just chose thinwall pvc wire in the end, for what i'm doing it should be fine (I hope ;))
I wish I had used Raychem heatshrink for the...
Fookin hell Paul! I've heard about your plans for this and sounds pretty crazy lol :)
This reminds me I need to call you to book mine in for mapping to suit the new engine
Engine loom finished other than it needs the bulkhead connector putting on the end :)
Car is pretty much finished now, few odd's and ends to finish tomorrow and then next week when I have a few more days off I will take it down to Freds, connectors on and mapped and then good to go!
