PM'd you fairy.
Thank you :)
Yeah they run a bit rubbish un mapped, most people wouldn't notice but I'm fussy, waiting list to get it mapped up here is long hence a different plan.
Did you run the standard heat shields? I removed them all when rebuilding it and fitted my own just the other...
Glad your ok. That's the 3rd cup without a cage I have seen rolled on track and they hold up really well around the b pillars.
I'll take the handbrake if it still has the rubber boot and the lower RS stamped inlet, coolant temp sensor and thermostat if its not rusted up. PM me
Aye sun was out for a change.
Yeah I would safely say that Imp had nothing resembling a standard part left on it, was more like a formula car underneath.
I did mean to ask the guy before we left but be never got the chance, I'm sure it was for sale on PH a while back and had a Gripper diff and...
I went to Fintray Hillclimb today in Aberdeenshire. I took some very poor pics and videos on a go pro and iPhone but I thought I would share them, some really nice bits of kit including the nicest Hillman Imp and a compound charged Evo with a carbon fibre body and interior that I forgot to get...
Good news on the old wife and sexy girlfriend, not so on the bike crash.
I would like to see pictures of the v6 a-frames and how you have put everything together. I need shafts to suit a full cup racer suspension setup but with a jc5 gearbox.
Also do you have measurements in millimetres for...
My favourite car of all time, albeit not in 5 door but keep the work up. I'm just bidding my time before I get one until I have a heated home for it to live in luxury.
You would be mad not to rebuild it to near standard spec if you kept everything and then punt on everything else. The logistics of stripping is a ball ache IMO but its very unlikely someone will stump up for the work you have done.
Yeah totally agree, stiffer shocks would help my case too for stopping the inside wheel becoming un weighted so much on this car but mehh. I can't wait to fit my gripper box to the racecar, between the chicane, carlube and the hairpin I think there's a few seconds as your on two wheels for so long.
The manifolds do get mighty hot for being carbon tbh, I have the burns to prove it. Open filters are always going to suffer a bit without ducting but I just expected a little more from it (wasn't expecting miracles either)
Chip did say it wouldn't warrant the spend but it went on deaf ears as I...
When you say didn't disengage? You mean you changed the switchover point when it was re mapped or it just didn't disengage off its own back. (Can you tell I'm clues when it comes to mapping)
Yeah I would think it suits more flowing circuits better but the standard cups are almost perfectly...
Yeah I imagine it smoothes out a fair bit, mid range I don't think its going to do much there as its not running bad or it doesn't appear to be. This is why I'm quite disappointed as I thought the flat 150lbft on tap would be more useable but iirc the circa 160/165lbft that the standard engine...
Mines has started tilting forward when trying to go up too so there must be something loose/broken, I will have a look tomorrow hopefully and also look for a stupid 3k rattle that has appeared today from behing the dash.
Cheers Sonny it is a nice looking bit of kit and I'm probably going to go against the grain here but I'm pretty un impressed with its performance, IMO it ruins the standard engine and I am convinced its slower. I have had a guy round tonight putting a generic map on it with some adjustments for...
Went a bit heat shield daft today as I'm convinced my coil pack was getting warm hanging over the manifold and the brake lines and bottle take a roasting on track and in traffic.
Chopped down breather plate
Spun coil pack mount round away from mani
Made up some heat shields
Finished...
Aye same, done all that shiz back in tbe day. Its only on as it will be on track every time I'm home.
Aye I know you two, I thought there was a third member of DJW?
Anyone thinking on running one, you really need the oreca decat as its shorter in length and stops you having a cannon stuck out the back like mine which is fitted to the oem cat.
Got one fitted with standard cat ATM, its getting louder with more miles and it does your napper in on the motorway, good exhaust though if its not just the sound/look you want which I really couldn't care about as its for my racecar. And K-Tec are a few hundred more than I got mine new ;)
