I don't know if heatsoak is a major problem on boosted cars, but getting the air from outside the engine bay is definately worth putting some thought into. Because of the turbo under the bonnet, the underbonnet temperature is much higher than with a normal aspirated car.

Because the season is over, I started with my winterproject, which consist of deleting the PAS steering, and mounting the 182 manifold with decat. Deleting PAS: Changing steering rack for DCI one Renewing internal and external track rod ends Replacing inner and outer stabilizer bushings by...

Did you also use 5 mm for the rear windscreen?

And the onboard video of the last two laps. I was able to improve my best time by three seconds, the lap after that was only half a second slower, so I am quite happy with that. In the end, I got black flagged for taking over under yellow, which was a bit stupid of me, guess it was al down...

Second session, filmed by my wife on the roof of the pits.

Yesterday I had another trackday at Assen. I was pretty excited, and the weather was really good, considering it had been draining the entire week before. I had the car on the trailer two nights before. My dad came over to help, and brought along his nose weight measuring device. The idea was...

The weather should be okay according to the forecast, but it can go either way. Hope to see you there. And no need for you to take it easy on the gearbox, because you have a spare in your garage. :smile: Regarding the tires, I understand it is normal, but I don't understand why there is more...

First I would like to show our newest acquisition. We gave the terrible terrible Fiat 500 a kick goodbye, and after having 'the Italian' experience, I despirately needed a german car again for my wife. It became this one. As you can see, my wife is very happy with it, and so am I. It is a...

200 kg looks reachable at this moment. :smile: I will in time, but I'm cheap so I first want to wear out what I've got at the moment. And for comparison, I'm 110 kg, and my passenger in that session is 100 kg. That's probably 60/70 kg's more than you and your passenger, so that will even out...

To expensive for me as well. :wink: What's the weight difference between the glass windows and the polycarbonate ones?

I present to you, one single skinned hood. As a result it is hanging a bit. :tonguewink: That's a 2,2 kg weight save right there. :cool: Now I had to install my catches as well. During fabrication, this happened. It's not supposed to be like that right? Anyway, got some scratches as a...

I'm going decat as well yes. If I get into trouble, I will add a midsilencer. But at the last trackday, there were cars that were a lot louder so I'm not to afraid. And the BMW does sound nice, you should hear it at full throttle at 5000 rpm though. :tongueout:

I would just proceed with the turbo build , and see how everything holds up. When something breaks down, you fix it/upgrade it/rebuild it.

While I nearly transferred money to buy a decat, I found a 182 4-2-1 manifold on the Dutch marketplace website, the seller turned out to be hostler. I had already looked into these, and read a lot of topics, mostly on this site. The way I see it, is that a 4-1 system is more for higher...

So I came across a set of these: OZ Superleggera 7x15 4x100 ET37 :tongueout: They've got scratches etc, but I don't care, because Superleggera means Superlight :tongueclosed: Saving 3,3 kg's per wheel. Since this is unsprung weight, it equals to 150 extra horsepowers. :stig: Just...

EFI deleted my immobilizer, and now I have removed mine completely. Check my thread for guidance.

Thanks, and yes, that would be nice. I will attend Zandvoort in the future as well, but my main track will be Assen since that is only a 30 min drive for me.

So, yesterday it was finally time to take the car out for a drive. First I gave the BMW a quick wash. It can look good in the silver for a very long time, but when it is clean, it does come out a lot better. Then right after, I gave the Clio a wash. After taking it out of the...

Gongrats on the running engine. I can understand how happy you were, as I got my car running again after having starting issues after cutting back the loom. Although I am finished with my loom, it is very interesting to see how you approached it. I figure you need to keep the UCH for some of the...

Today I changed the brake fluid. Decided to go for ATE. I also wanted to try out my Eezibleed kit, which I had in my garage for a while now. Also took the opportunity to check my disks and brake pads. They seem to be allright. Then it was time to check and install my Eezibleed kit...

Same here, but mine is already a couple of months in the garage, and nog I feel the urge to take it out on track. Did you get to weigh the standard door already? I'm interested in the weight difference.

Welkom, leuk om nog een Nederlandse trackday auto te zien. Looks like you had a good base to start with, and I am sure the car will be allright. :wink: Which trackday willen you be attending mostly?

Why would he waste his money on this? What's wrong with it?

I had some spare time this afternoon, so I changed the air filter and spark plugs. The spark plugs that came out didn't look to bad, I'm not sure how many kilometers these already have haid. The new filter did let quite a lot more light go through than the old one. One thing I noticed...

Received this with the post today, bought it secondhand, so it was pretty cheap. I know the F4R engine is not covered in here, but it can always come in handy in a lot of other occasions. It's quite thick too, so it should have enough information. :smile: I also ordered a new set of spark...

I'm keeping both. :tonguewink: The BMW Motorsport will remain silver, and the AC Schnitzers will become dark silver, so that I have some variation and 2 different looks to keep the car looking fresh.

So with the car being pretty much ready for know, I would like to keep it that way, so I focussed on my studies lately. Got on exam coming up shortly so that's my priority for now. I did buy this though: I will fit this first, just to make sure it al works as expected, and then get the PMS...

Seems to me that the only function is to prevent air getting into the pressure line. The ones from Tilton etc are also very small, so I don't think it will be an issue. And the ones you are going to use also work very well on a motorbike.

Good luck with the rebuild. :up:
