Thank you.
I’ve removed the heater matrix and used the matrix feed and return for the turbo cooling. I’ve used 19-10mm reducers (I think they were 19) and 3/8” high temperature silicone pipe joined to banjo fittings on the turbo, these are wrapped in Kevlar heat shielding just to be safe.
Bought myself a new helmet to, always wanted the carbon version so had to have this. My mate made the name sticker, he can make pretty much anything if anyone is interested.
Fitted a low temperature thermostat and fan switch earlier, as mentioned a few weeks ago we noticed the fans didn’t work at all so I mounted a switch in the top radiator hose. I used a 75 degree thermostat and 90 on 80 off switch, ran it up earlier and seems to work fine.
I’ve not tried my 1.2’s yet but I’m confident they will fit as my mates got them over his and he’s using 300mm brackets with 7mm taken off calipers. I’m pretty sure with my 280 brackets I’ve got 3mm more clearance then him. If you’ve not done it by time I’ve tried them I’ll report back ?
Those calipers above had to be machined to the same shape as the wheel, the discs are 15” the same size as the wheels on my Clio.
My Clio calipers are very close to the wheels that are fitted now, that’s with a 16mm spacer. I’m told my ProRace 1.2’s have slightly better clearance then those so...
Sooo.. my mate machined 5mm off calipers for me, got new Hel lines, PBS Pads, new fitting kit and a squirt of ultra high temp grease and we’re on. Ran out of fluid so not bled 100% yet but there all on.
Only 2 of my 4 sets of 15’s fit so I’ll have a couple sets for sale soon including the ones...
Yeah it’s fine on low boost, think Chris said it was 280-290 and it drives fine on low. I was just checking if I’d damage anything by turning it on whilst the cars running. I think I’m just worrying to much ?
Got some steering wheel buttons and holder today. Going to use the right momentary as a horn switch and the left on/off to switch the boost solenoid on/off, effectively mid and high boost. Does anyone know if I will be able to turn the solenoid on and off whilst driving? Don’t want to damage the...
Going for a Brembo Caliper upgrade now. In true Adam fashion I was looking on eBay for some Brembos ................................. and I bought some more wheels ?
I am looking to upgrade to Brembos soon tho, watch this space ?
If your putting different cams in I wouldn’t say it’s a budget build?
B14’s are good but a bit soft for track use. I use Gaz Golds with 650lb fronts 500lb rears and find they excellent on track.
