Had a very frustrating day with it yesterday unfortunately. Walked away in the end before it got a thrashing. It's definitely getting closer to running though now.

:up::cool:

Nice to know someone does! Lol

He looks so proud of himself too! Lol! Epic work and fabrication going on here! I f**king love it!

Good stuff! Yes mate I'll be there.

Fuel line made and fitted. Fandango adapters didn't work, so I modified them to work. :up: I've covered the stainless braided fuel line in black nylon overbraid because it looked s**t under the bonnet imo! Modified adapter:Next week will see the loom finished off and making a start of...

That looks awesome! Are you at the Rs oulton day this year?

Yeah good shout mate.

How old was the dephaser? If there's no sign of the bottom end being shot and everything else looks good, it's only really the dephaser that could be the culprit.

I. Like. That. The cost is more than justified in the cnc time and the materials. It will however be compromised like the rs2 is by the fact it's designed to work with the standard car, so not enough plenum volume for all out performance. It's a good looking inlet though for sure! I would've...

If it's cup turinis you'll get away without any spacers.

If you need any help with rates or lengths (for the rears) let me know.

Yeah I bet they're 5100's like mine mate. They can be upgraded to the 5200 spec though for the same price as they cost just for the 5100's. Lol!

So you've got the adjustable canisters as well then!

Are they definitely 5200's though? Lol!

Have you checked the thermostat? Sounds stupid but it's sometimes easy to overlook the simple things. Also I'd consider putting a shroud around the rad to duct the air through the rad. Otherwise it'll just spill around it as it takes the path of least resistance. Bigash had similar cooling...

Was that taken this weekend?

Yeah you may find that they need revalving if you go much over 10% of what they're specced for mate. I've no experience of bc's though, so it wouldn't be fair for me to say/pass comment. No mate I don't race mine. It's not something I've ever considered tbh as I've not got the right temperament...

He did have mate. A silver 51 plate ff 172. I'm assuming he's still there as I've not seen him in a while.

You also need asbestos fingers from the glue lined heat shrink! Lol!

@Tomotek do you know Stephen Hollis? He's an ESP engineer at JLR. He's working on land rovers and range rovers now. Was on the jaaaaaaaaggggggggs.

Have you not seen my updates?! Lol! Yeah done a few more bits and pieces to it. Getting closer now! Edit: northloop forum is still on the go!! Last time I went on there though there was a few that were a bit up their own arse. Shame really as there seemed to be some nice people too. It just put...

Lol! There's a forum, or at least there was forum called northloop as well mate!

Name doesn't ring a bell? Does he know me?

Your right! They are that much! And I was wrong! Mine are only the 5100's, so aka sportline 2's. The sportline 1's are 4100's from what I can see.

Yeah you definitely struck it lucky then mate. It's a shame he's a pain to deal with at times, because he's a genuinely nice bloke.

You've done well there then mate with Curtis! He's normally a pain to deal with and promises the world and delivers, erm, nothing. Well that's not strictly true, he does deliver its just normally 3 months after he originally promised! Lol

Yeah there's a little rubber type washer/seal on it mate.

I'd say 450+ up front tbh mate as mine is on 450's at the front and they're still a tad soft on my Ast's. That equates to a 80n spring and I'm planning on going up to a 90n up front and possibly dropping to a 400lb rear, so a 70n rear.

God knows then mate. Mine are definitely 5200's and they weren't £3500. The 5100's will be more than up to the job for racing anyway tbh. @Tony Hunter runs these iirc.
