Haha yep certainly is Sam :) Best of luck to you guys. Where's your first race?
Thanks Neil, I haven't actually mounted them yet but will be rivnuting the floors and then making standoff's and then bolting through.
Shame I'm just sorting a group buy for a very similar set to the Oreca just a lot cheaper at 105/115 for the full set depending on how many takers we get
Thanks chaps :)
Sam first testing at this rate will be a couple of days before and then just a full spanner check and then race it!
Unfortunately Len I had been out of work for the last 9 months so had plenty of time to work on the car lol!
Wish I was on commission for all these Epas's lol!
Shame about the limp mode rearing its head again :( personally I would be getting rid of the stock loom, Ecu and UCH and getting a standalone on the car before doing the engine that way you can run some different cams to suit the high comp and...
Well done Tony sounds like a successful day :) Just looked on TSL and seems like you were on Ian's tail at the end of race 2. Hope the car and setup went well!
Sounds like a day of mixed emotions which is a shame after all the hard work to get the car there :( Well done on the qualifying really good place to start the race and sounds like Race 1 went well. Sorry to hear about the new(old) engine thank god it wasn't the new one phewwww!
I did buddy but they keep sending as text rather than i message so not sure if you getting them lol! I've got some spares from the old switch panel yours if you want them mate :)
I wish :( Had to work instead last minute so change of plans
Hehe thanks mate :)
I wish they were smarties as Adam...
Massive thanks to Ian at Godspeed brakes he sent the fixed calipers back to me earlier this week which was very good of him so thanks for fixing them. I am still waiting on Demon tweeks delivering the double locking bleed valves just so that I don't put any future wear on the seat of the hole...
Oooo interesting would be good to hear what you guys have gone for especially if they are better than the supertechs :)
Typical isn't it :(, Hope everything turns up and it all gets sorted!
Ouch didn't realise it was that bad mate :(! I was expecting you to shove it in reverse and carry on lol
As others have said easily done and nothing you can do to change it but overall was a really positive weekend with you/car/team looking really quick :) Hopefully I won't be working and I can...
I was just wondering this morning how it was going! God that is going to be too tight surely? The block hasn't been machined yet if the pistons haven't arrived? I don't know where Dan gets his stuff from but when we enquired a couple of weeks ago lead time on rods and pistons were 10 days but...
What you need to so mate is measure the rack with the track rods installed as the plastic bits are the lock stops so without those it won't be an accurate idea of lock to lock
DCI rack is more turns lock to lock than the standard Clio rack. I bought one but then measured it hence looping mine. It's about 1/2 a turn extra and if anything we all want less turns not more :(
Have you got a brake flaring tool? If so use the standard rack loop both sections of pipe and then use a Renault sump plug to block one of the inlets and I think I used an m18 lambda sensor bung from a Vauxhall on the other. If you don't have a flaring tool then I think you could just use some...
Phil you have removed the metal rack mounts that go to the subframe from the std rack haven't you? The twingo rack should bolt straight to the subframe. Where doesn't it fit? :)
Thanks mate, yeah I looked at a kit last year on driftworks but swapped for EPAS this year in the hope of better reliability but who knows weather it will be lol :)
Haha thanks Oli made great progress yesterday and today with the wiring :) Yeah really looking forward to trying the gripper!
Yes...
Thanks Russ yeah not going too bad thanks :) just having a 10 minute break for a sarnie now and then carrying on!
Ahhh great stuff I can't wait to try the gripper. Mmm yeah seems to be an increasingly common issue these days with the PAS. Could swap to EPAS, manual, or try and change the fluid...
Exactly Andy :) One day it will bite me on the arse
Thanks Matt :) Everythings gone a bit quiet with updates recently just been trying to crack on and everything feels like slow progress.
Yeah thankfully don't give up easily lol, i've always been a stubborn t**t ;)
This is going to be hilarious lol! Racing turbo nutter barges might be pain though, over take mid corner get passed on exit.. repeat repeat repeat :)
Looking forward to seeing you all at Rockingham
Going pretty well thanks Mike :) I now have collected/had delivered every part for the car apart from the brake calipers and the fibreglass doors to get it finished. The car is mechanically pretty much there, all fluids are done. Just waiting for the brake calipers to be back and then I can get...
