Told you it sounded great!!
Well as a plus on K tecs side. Sean was first class with advice today and hard wiring the TPS will be happening! :up: Can't really understand why they wouldn't sell the parts, as they have them made anyway?... Never mind :up::down::down:!
A little mod to the throttle peddle and that should be...
Might be struggling mate, work is just hectic just now and once we have it running I need to get it booked in to rs tuning and then get it down to them in Leeds for mapping......
Springs still haven't arrived from AST either and was hoping to have all that done in advance too... If the car...
Well things have progressed a little further...... I think the pictures below save me typing a lot so i'll summarise at the end as I need a little help if anyone can assist........
Now comes the help required.....
I am currently talking to K-tec re the ph1 throttle peddle mounting...
That's pretty much it mate. on strack is a free for all, some get a little excitable but (touch wood) there have been no major incidents in the time I've been up there.
Car, tyres, track day cost, fuel & brakes. its always worth another set of wheels if you can just for the drive home and you...
Can any one help?
I have a K Tec / Jenvey ITB kit going on the Trophy at present. As I bought it from a forum member there are few things missing from the standard kit.
the main issue id the TPS wiring. it doesn't have the standard loom connector and was hard wired in previously. does...
Fraser's are uprated, mine are just road spec front & rear..... I have just ordered race spec 90Nm front & 110Nm rear so hopefully we should see a difference soon!
Little update on last night....
after turning up at the track with a stinking headache and absolutely no want to get in the car, we braved the track. Car felt really good, despite sounding like a bucket of broken spanners on tick over! Everything went well with only one minor issue, the...
Well a final preps in advance of Tuesday night. No sign of an oil leak at all so hopefully all resolved (touch wood:monkey:)......... thought it would be an idea to clean it all down and make it easy to see anything new that may appear! although the running in period of the cams certainly...
Well another photo update ............ phase 1 modifications complete :tongueclosed: ! Big thanks to Gaz for his hard works & @Ph1 Tom for bits of advice through the process :up:, im sure there will be a few more texts during the phase 2 ITB install, although I think the hard works has been...
Yeah it's getting there mate, bit of me says I should have just put the ITB's on just now as they are lying there waiting, but it will be well into August before I can get it mapped and thought I could fit a couple of track days in between with just the cams in. Fingers crossed it all goes as...
well todays update following another late night (big thanks to my mate Gaz for his help with this :up:).......
Car is built back up with (almost) a couple of finishing touches to be completed and was planning a run in at the weekend before the track day if all goes according to plan! picture...
FLOL mate. Don't know about the too much money, well certainly not any more anyway, but I am hoping for awesome!
Fingers crossed this makes a difference as it was a hard decision to part with the cash when I have read so many horror stories after modifying......
Todays update
Steady progress so should be all back together by Saturday...... sorry photo's a plenty but they really show it all, and I suppose a good record of work done :up:
Still a little lost with the oil leak around the sump though! doesn't use that much but after a track day the sump...
Well its about time for a quick update on the Trophy. Work has been busy lately so the car has never moved at all and It was about time the new parts get fitted!
The first phase of the mods will be:
New Timing belt kit, water pump & Dephaser pulley
piper 285 cams
cam & crank shaft seals...
Open session full day (reverse) on Saturday 11th and a track night on Tuesday 14th...... If I get the car built back up I'll try for the 14th, think Fraser will be there as well.
