I'll be getting my white valver done. When I get round to buying one. Glad to hear I could get it done for £800 ish.
Would the £600-£1k include paint does anyone know?
Get it mapped mate!
Wouldnt like to put a figure on it without seeing the porting etc, and you'll never really know until shes on the rollers.
You should get some pics up of the car and engine bay. :)
Re: HAND BREAK HELP
woops! those handbrake turns didnt pay off well then ;)
Just going to be a case of a bigger bolt and washer mate. Get to a good DIY/screwfix or something and see what you can find. Don't panic. Make sure the bare metal where it's stripped out is painted over, otherwise...
Hope this section is ok for this
Is there anywhere that'd sell sheet steel on a sunday? I've just picked up my MIG welder and I wanna give it a whirl :cool:
Went in B&Q yesterday. it was £26 for just under 1 meter sq, 1mm thick steel. :eek:. I'm not paying that.
ah. I've been owned.
fail.
LOL. Nice car mate. why the megane head? any particular reason? Nice job buddy! thought it shoulded loud on WOT
Yes all is in jest. You a jeff buckley fan (username) ? that's more on the mark for me :)
Can I make a prediction:
I reckon that the exhaust is fairly subtle, it's not on standard induction. Probably a cone filter like a pipercross or K&N.
Am i right?
cool mate. Don't think much of your taste in music tho lol ;)
Do women go for that? "Hi, yeah. This is my ride. Is says 69 on the dash, what do you think of that? .... Yes the back seats do fold down, funny you should ask."
:) nice car.
^^ carbon roof panel mate. These guys are more than one step ahead of the game. ;)
This is simply an awesome build. I dread to think how much cash has been ploughed into it, but it's all going to be worth it.
Well done lads. Get it done :)
it's normal, but it normally takes 3 or 4 days before doing that. The brake discs rust slightly and cause the pads to stick to them.
When you go on holiday or something, Leave the handbrake off and the car in 1st
The intake manifold? Don't think that's worth using a heat shield on tbh. setup looks pretty good as it is IMO. Even the 90 degree bend isnt that brutal.
valver boxes are largely the same as the williams boxes. The williams are stronger and have a longer 5th (maybe a longer 4th too). This is due to the F7R williams being longer stroked (giving the extra displacement) so it's not as revvy.
williams boxes are regarded as the better longer lasting...
Re: **show Es Your Engine Bay**
This is what every Vee deserves :) :) :)
Fred, is the megane trophy race engine a bored Vee engine. iirc they are 3.5/3.6 litre V6s??
the vulcanisation of rubber is the addition of sulphur.
It's added to natural rubber to make it stiffer. More sulphur, makes stiffer more hard wearing rubber.
^^ top of my head ! :) ^^
TBH mate, that stuff is done in the factory. A place that could do it (I didnt know you could) are likely to...
