Can't make it, getting the car mapped that day. :(

Speed line sell then for £477 so that's abouts as good as you'll get and demon tweeks sell kw v2's for around £1k. I have both and they're ideal for the track.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Cheers mate, it's been worth the wait!

Re: 172 Cup track toy! You will mate! ;) Just home there after leaving Scoffs at 5pm this afternoon. Rev limit of 3.5k and 0.3bar boost and it feels fast. Sounds like I'm driving darth vadar as the waste gate is always open. Put a smile on my face when I drove it as it sounds great and I've...

Yes because you're teeing off before it or disconnecting it altogether.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Hope so but cheers. Taking some tools, fluids and green flag membership card so should be fine. :D Just remembered there that I need to get some tax for it in the morning. That would have been an epic fail.

Something wrong with yours Dave or are just doing homework before the event?

You won't get a siphon effect as you will have an air gap at the top of your header tank so this will not work.

It's an expansion loop so only takes the expansion in the system back to the header tank when it gets hot.

You have connected the turbo feed into the expansion loop to the header tank. This will not have enough flow to cool the turbo IMO. Just take a feed from the heater matrix pipes.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! There is life! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHFU0g-Rerg&feature=youtu.be Scoff had a few problems with oil leaking from the turbo into the exhaust causing lots of smoke on the initial start up but that seems to have gone now. I'm getting the train down to his in the...

Yes, you will need a flexible joint in the link pipe between your down pipe and your current exhaust.

Relocate the battery and lie the ecu flat. Gives way more space for turbo inlet and filter. Looking good though.

What's the weight difference between a standard JC5 box and the O2M VAG box? Very tempted by this if I start Kuching boxes too.

I jammed a piece of wood about 150mm long against the manifold and a bolt on the engine side and used a flexible extension a ratchet and found it straight forward eventually.

Very awkward but can be done yourself but is easier with two people. You need to grip the nut and turn the bolt to tighten.

Good power there!:cool: Dont think he'll get that out of mine but good to see what he can do with others.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Does he work 7 days a week? Fair play to him!

I think the stub shaft is only pressed into the carrier so once the 4 holding bolts have been removed to free it from the hub, it should press out.

Carbon fibre is strong, light and robust. Abs is flexible, light and robust which makes both good for this purpose. MDPE is another plastic that would be good but it is slightly heavier. I said acrylic would not be good. :S

Should get it on eBay.

The caliper is bolted to the hub. Are you talking about swapping the stub axle only?

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Cheers a lot for that! I'm sure Scoff will work some magic on it. :D What you getting done?

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Cheers mate, appreciate it. I'm sure yours will look just as good! Need to play the waiting game now. :p

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Cheers guys! Big thanks to Dave and his mate Chris for getting it safely down to Scoff's. :clap: Filling up with some Momentum 99 On the M6 making some progress south Should get it back next week then running in the engine starts.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Very true mate, very true!

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Thanks matey! :approve:

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Still waiting on the Pulsar GTiR inlet manifold for butchering and then the finger will be out. :rasp: Looking at a different exhaust manifold and turbo already and this ones never done a rev yet.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Alright John, cheers for that. TB is for another manifold that's still a work in progress. Want to get this running so it'll have to wait a while before fitting.

Re: 172 Cup track toy! Cheers mate, appreciate it! Hope it's ready for a track night at knockhill on the 4th of august so if you go to that I'll see you there or at this photography day if it can ever get organised. :D
