All good at this end thanks little Luke arrived last Wed, he is doing fine and his mum is recovering well. It's a shock to the system forsure buy he is starting to sleep longer already.
Last small mod I have planned for the car , hopefully from now on it will be use and maintenance posted here.
I hated the tread plate foot rest the car had fitted, but did like the look of having an alloy pedal so went for one more fitting with the originals
Old vs new I would say there is maybe slightly less vibration at idle but this may improve as the bush beds in.
My car has vibratechnics engine/ gearbox mount so that wont be helping but in the past I've found its the dogbone that transmits the most sound to the cabin.
After seeing Frays fitting the speedline stickers to his wheels I decided to order some up in silver.
I also ordered on of Pillip M's new poly dogbone mounts that are meant to transmit a lot less vibrations so will do a back to back test with the power flex purple that is fitted to the car...
Had a nightmare a few days ago. I took the car to get a spare key cut and coded, while he was coding the key the wind caught the door which swung and ended up with a dent 😥. Trying to get a dent guy out next week as it should come out.
Thats for the crank sensor if your still using the standard ecu to run the dash , it basically boost the crank signal so both emu's can get a strong signal.
Engine bay tidy up today. I was going to take the inlets off and get them vapour blasted, but thought I would try alumablast first as I had a tin already.
Before
After
Also fitted some trophy decals to the seat subframes
I will PM you my email.
If they are the standard sensors provided by RT and wired with a resistor then you shouldn't need to adjust the equation just select the correct sensor from the drip down.
If your saying ash had the dash working with this wiring in the past I'm guessing they are wired...
The shifter is now adjusted , I also took 1" off of the gearbox end rod to bring the shifter back towards the seat a little
I found the old multi speed wiper stalk I removed from my cup so fitted that as the trophy come with basic stalks
Both seats now lowered on Jon Foz subframes.
Shifter fitted but still needs adjusted to hopefully bring the stick back a little. I'm not sure if this is one of the earlier bms before Ash started to put a bend in the linkage.
Drivers seat subframes switched over , for it only being a 1.5" drop the seating position is so much better.
Bms shifter arrived but with it having the silver shaft would of looked a little out of place in the stock interior so decided to wrap the shaft in some carbon film I had lying.
Hope to get it fitted tomorrow along with lowered subframes.
Neil if you email me your dash 2 configuration file and what channels you have sensors wired I to I can check it for you.
ECU interface wise I'm not sure as your ECU isn't on the drop down so unless they are using a different option option that runs same settings.
Ive got a few parts piled up for this now with the plan to try and fit them this weekend , baby arrival dependent.
1. Jon foz lowered subframes
2. BMS shifter
3. Smaller front plate
4 Phillip M dogbone mount ( will test it against the polymount fitted for vibration)
Hopefully 1 + 2 should...
Ash also does the brass bushings .
Did you notice any more noise with the brass bushings over the original, im tempted to get a set before i fit my bms shifter but again wanting to minimize cabin noise.
I wouldnt fit fg doors without a cage, also wouldnt want to daily with them .
On my old track car they flexed open at the A pillar above 90 to the point you could see daylight.
Frayz the pic above that Zach posted is of a shifter i sold him it was extended in the same way as the BMS. If your worried about clearance you could get Ash to make you one with the bottom linkage extended less, this would give a slightly longer throw but would still give the benefit of the...
Thanks I have a place local that my mate used for motorbike casings.
I might try alumablast paint first as have a tin from when i did the TB's on the R8 and it gave a nice factory fresh silver finish, the actual inlet and fuel rail guard are clean anyway with no oxidization just a little dirty.
Silver bulbs fitted , such a simple cheap mod that freshens up the front and rear of these cars.
Needs a bit of a clean up in here may get the inlets vapour blasted over winter
Picked this up last week , plan is to keep it close to standard and have it as a road/track car.
Justnow it has a few mods
Piper exhaust
Vibratechnics solid engine mount
Powerflex dogbone mount
Powerflex rear beam bushes
Uprated filter
Snappy wheel
Uprated disks and fast road pads
Hel braided...
