Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] erm......hai srsly tho. Those Gussets. Are you fitting a turret gun to finish!

no way! Awesome. Just awesome

It has to be the oil. That's the only thing actually heating up really..... Unless the gearbox itself is fubared?? strange one. Checked the bushes on the linkage under the box?

Re: Cup TT ?? Forgot to mention stu. I've done a complete pin out of my entire AGU engine loom. I don't know what loom your using, but this may be helpful in the future. http://www.mark-one.co.uk/downloads/AGU_EngineLoom.xls I'm trying to work out the water route....having a big of trouble...

not necessarily. If you can definitely hear something from the right, then try to identify whether it's front or rear and get it changed. Concequences of leaving a dodgy bearing vary from: just noise>siezed bearing>loosing a wheel at speed. Sometimes you can wiggle them, sometimes they are just...

kay. Nice tunnel. BINI Gen 2s are not for me tho, Gen1 FTMFW. any plans to lower yours?

Re: Cup TT ?? hope the boost piping works out ok with the pickup that side. Which side of the engine are you gonna come round off the turbo? N/S as normal? or try and do it like the stock TT and go O/S?

Re: Cup TT ?? Dude! just seen the inlet manifold. GEEEZ didn't realise they'd done that! lolz

Re: Cup TT ?? Lovely work mate. Weld is very clean and the N/S mount is the best one i've seen yet! Good to meet you the other day.

Well given that it gets louder under PAS load, it's the PAS pump.

more pics. Think the offset is a touch under, but otherwise nicely done. Not really for me, but i can see the appeal

they look awesome. that is all.

the turbines on diesel turbos are made from cheaper materials which can't handle the hotter exhaust gas from petrol engines.

4.9 litre V8 = 2.45 litres per bank meaning it should spool like a volvo T5 running a single GT35. When they eventually come on boost it's going to be insane. :eek:

They read the CO2 from the back of the exhaust. It doesent matter what the car thinks the emissions are. Have you bought a phase 1 cat to go on a phase 2? do they even fit? FYI My MOT has been passed with the second lambda unplugged.

my advice would be to stick a trolley jack, preferably with a rubber saddle, underneath the sump on the same side as the mount. Just gently take the strain off the mount and then undo and remove. Remember the engine mount bolts require specific torque, so a torque wrench is preferable.

It's not actually a garrett is it? It's just a T04E copy That's bigger than most of the turbos people use of 1*2s, but with a good manifold it will spool ok. The off the shelf conversions use awful log cast manifolds. If you get it working, you'll easily have enough power capability to pop a...

Nice!

WTF is that. Was it free? I'm not a fan

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] I'm sure welding the column in place will be solid. For me it's just the flexibility. Nothing on a car should really be permantantly fixed. Say you wanted to switch to a manual column for some reason, or something wore loose in your current...

Re: Mk1 F4R'd Track Car Project [2010 Winter Rebuild] Your not welding the column in are you? Is that a good idea? I'd have it bolted.

anyone know of any non-bullshit reason why these new F4Rs are doing do badly against the old 1*2s? Is it purely a weight issue?

primer grey and laquered :D

theres an article on spraying in PPC this month if your interested.

you seen this?? http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=21737

lambda. buy one

yesh.

they are not properly hubcentric. There is nothing for the wheel to sit on there. Not to mention the centre bore is not correct for a renault (60.1) so they'd be extremely dangerous on a clio. With the correct centre bore they are still a bit shady. No substitute for proper hubcentrics. I'd...

I've heard quotes ranging massively. Do you want the entire shell stripped bare then the whole thing spraying? or are you happy to still have a black engine bay/door shuts etc? You can start to see why prices vary

I've used AVS converter and it's worked well
