Only a small update, but I thought I'd show off the new rad. Collected it on Saturday afternoon, and I'm VERY pleased with it. Few pics: The frame around the front of the rad is there to serve 2 purposes. One is to funnel the air through the rad for maximum efficiency, and the other is to...

Hi mate! Yeah it seemed to generate a bit of interest so I thought I'd continue it. Good news on yours then! Glad it's now making the power it should've been first time around. To get 215 on Rs tuning's rollers is a good result as well as they're notorious for being accurate. Bad news on the...

Cheers fuckface. :wink:

Your cars still white tony. I saw it the other day when I was at Fred's. :wink:

Well if you get 5th gear off without damaging it and split the casing ok you shouldn't be too bad tbh. They're just awkward.

Thanks. It's definitely getting there now. Regards the clearances and preloads it's all in the pdf manuals I've got mate. You measure the lift without a shim in using a dti gauge, then select the correct sized one to add the required amount of preload.

@GrahamS i need the dimensions of your tripod joint and the number of splines. From memory it's 30 splines, but need to know the body width and roller diameter.

32mm mate.

Thanks mate! To do your own gearbox isn't that hard if you know how to get the box apart and you have a basic understanding of how these things work. Tools wise @not normal dan has seen me strip one with an impact gun, various sockets, hammer, drift and a blow torch. Lol! The worst part is...

I'll have a look to see where I found them last time around mate.

Thanks mate! :cool:

There's a nasty rumour going round that the burpspeed bus is back in business!!!! :cool:

Cup = mans car. Allegedly.

Lol yeah it's a faff to measure and adjust tbh.

They come as part of the roll centre kit mate I'm afraid. I could do them seperate if needed.

Allows correction of bump steer mate.

EFA @Cub. I'm all by my lonesome now. James is just too busy unfortunately.

Should be ok then. Just make sure you remove the anti squeal shims from the caliper and grind the ends of the pads down to give you 1-1.5mm clearance between the pad and caliper carrier.

Fast road or trackday? For fast road yellow stuff ain't that bad tbf. Trackdays, no thanks! I had mine fade on me at the 'Ring and it was not a nice situation to be in.

Flol!

Unfortunately mate they brought it on themselves by putting a s**t product out in the marketplace. It takes years to build up a good name and only seconds to destroy it. Gaz have a lot of reputation rebuilding to do imo.

Unfortunately bilsteins are too soft imo for track work. Blinding bit of kit for fast road though. @Cub. will no doubt back this comment up. Yeah I agree with this 100%. You'd be getting them refurbed every year!

Genuinely impressive full lap of the nordschliefe and gp circuit!

It's a shame your not local to me mate, otherwise I'd have come up and had a look at the wiring. I know these looms very well!

Cheers :cool:

Sounds like it needs a new 2nd gear synchro to me. It'll need a rebuild (£350-£400) or replacement box (around £150).

Done a few more bits and pieces today. Thanks to the ridiculously massive carbon airbox and the pms manifold, the original header tank stands more chance of getting a w**k off the pope than it does fitting in the engine bay. So I decided to drastic measures were required. See if you can spot...

Yeah that's fucked. Looks like the tripod joint has collapsed. There's places that sell them on their own.

I've got a 182 cup rear beam with the larger diameter rear arb fitted so I can compare it to the original that's on my cup if you want mate.

Hub wise, non gave a wider front track width mate. The wider track width comes from the subframe and wheel offsets. Only the 60mm spacing hubs had the larger bearings. They also have different steering arms cast on to the hub so they have improved Ackerman angle.
