Well that's it, she's now living in Wales for a month having the cage done. Looking forward to building it back up once she's done. Cage is full custom T45 so should keep the weight down. I couldn't believe the difference when holding the tubes compared to CDS. Amazing! :)
Well her she is almost ready for her little trip away.
I've been sketching cage designs too and I think I'll be going with something along these lines... Ish.
Dunno yet, Lol :D
Haha. Well it's a genuine WRC tarmac splitter so it's incredibly strong and flexible. (It's not pure carbon, it's a carbon, kevlar, aramide mix)
So should be okay ;)
Following this up, I've carried on and done some more.
Complete AC system out.
With that in mind I got the trusty bathroom scales out.
Complete AC system was 13.2kg
Space saver & jack 20.1kg
Approx 15kg in misc parts (couldn't get them all on the scales)
11kg sound deadening.
So...
Trial fitted the WRC splitter tonight.
No doubt this will split opinion, also have a UK300 splitter on the way. Quite like this though, looks aggressive.
Something ive wanted for ages but never found a solution was a front splitter to fit the Prodrive edition front bumper. I've a few ideas and the first one of those ideas arrived today.
Genuine WRC dry carbon composite tarmac lip. Think this could look pretty sexy riveted to the front end.
The Brembos currently fitting are the stock 2 piston 315mm items. These are 335mm 4 pots matched to the 356mm 6 pots up front. So should tighten the brake balance up nicely.
Christmas has come early for the Bomber this year. It's taken me a bleedin age to save up for these. Huge thanks to Alyn @ AS Performance for the superb service as always.
Now to get my front APs refinished in red for next season.
My rear Brembos are also for sale inc genuine Brembo discs and...
All quiet here what with house and wedding planning.
However the car is 75% ready to go in for some treatment and work on the prototype fog covers continues. These are just mock ups for now and don't represent their finish once completed.
Just to update you guys on this, I purchased a new style Yozza from Fred.
Superb built system and fantastic customer service. Please excuse the dirty car. It's about 2mm off centre at the moment but I'm going to wait till it's had a few heat cycles and settled then adjust to suit.
Anyone...
As above,
Stock daily driven 182, now covered 73K on the OEM exhaust. To be fair theres nothing wrong with it, yet. However im aware it wont last forever. Im leaning towards the BTM item as it looks better quality, but is the Pure system better?
Anyone own either care to share your thoughts?
Something that's been bugging me a while is that the Syvecs calibration switch comes with a numbered sticker.
This sticker eventually starts to peel, or if like me you want to move the rotary switch, you need another sticker.
Today I made up a small brushed stainless plaque and laser etched...
All new prototype Intake ducts are well underway. Still got a way to go to get the angles just right but it's getting there. They're much much bigger than the previous intakes and should feed the oil cooler and wing box far more efficiently.
Should look pretty aggressive too.
Sorry for the...
Work in progress, and I know this will split opinion.
Will be sanded smooth and flocked inside and out to blend in with the rest. Taking a gamble but I think this is gonna look pretty cool.
I've made a speed camera ;)
