Soo a little late due to forgetting to update since!
Car went into Engine Dynamics for another/ it’s final map tweek since having the cracked turbo housing sorted and it finally made the magic 300hp I set out for!
304hp/313ftlb!
Drives absolutely spot on now.
I also did something Chavy...
Soo I have the week off work this week and went to give mr Albert a hand up the unit!
While I was there I wanted to adjust the GAZ now they had settled in and I think the height is now just so! If I say so myself ??♂️
I’ve also had a sunstrip banner and some window stickers made for the...
Oh haii again!
Update part two!
So after Saturdays shenanigans with the turbo and bushes...
Monday then turned into:
- Swivel hub bearings
- steering rack insert
- track rod (only one side as the other was done a couple months ago)
- fitted the Golds! ?
Man loves fire right?
Out...
Soooo....
Part 1 of 2 for a big update!
Long awaited has this been for me!
Yesterday I got the call that my brand new turbo housing was ready for collection
Now this part has taken literally months to acquire as it’s been out of my hands and relying on a machine shop to do some bits as it’s...
hahaha, well it shows youre paying attention if nothing else :P
I intend to try and make a few CS events next year as i did so little with the car this year bar FCS / Nurburgring!
Another mini/ pointless update.
I’ve had a gearknob adapter kicking about for ages, just hadn’t bought a knob to go with it.
Well I have and I’ve basiclly made a very cheap take on a CAE.
Not the prettiest, but it works and with the short shifter that’s already fitted it works nicely! (Thanks...
Thanks for all the positive feedback ? clearly people agree with the build spec which is cool ?
Anyone wanting to contact the man who built it head to the below link to Alex’s business page. Based just outside Dunmow Essex about 10 minutes from Stansted airport...
So I’ll throw an update in because why not...
I’m currently waiting on the cast side of a turbo to be machined for me (this should fix my lack of power issue!) hoorah!
Also sat in the parts bin waiting we have
- Powerflex wishbone bushes
- Powerfelx ARB bushes
- new rack insert
- new...
id Have liked to have got it out on track this year but sadly lack of funds and other issues with the car that need addressing before I’m confident the car won’t overheat etc!
I’m hoping to button it all up for the new year so all being well it’ll be on track for CSF!
so its been a long old while since i have been active on here! my last posts were about my old 182 turbo!
in that time i have also had a megane sport dci 175 as my daily driver which was a very well specced car and was genrally a really nice car to drive! just a tad on the expensive side for...
Soo today is the first spell of good weather we've had this year so I took full advantage of it and 4/5 hours later I had a clean car again!
Have to say I'm so happy with these wheels compared to the old ones!
There epic mate! Looks spot on, j have been meaning to get photos for you but it's been so poxy wet I haven't a chance to clean it properly and I want to polish the back box etc to get some decent photos [emoji23]
SOOO... long time since i updated this! but lots to add now :D
from the last update i attended a few more shows and did my 2nd trackday at blyton park where the little bean diddnt skip a beat yet again!
done a few thousand miles commuting fautlessly.
as said from my previous post i was toying...
Yeah it was a non affiliated meet so I never mentioned t here :/ would love to get more people about but would get grief from both parties.
We did all spot you! Car looked tidy! (:
So in recent news, the wee beast had som much needed maintenance in the form of a fresh refurbished gearbox, new clutch, front outer arb bushes, ARP rod bolts, new shell bearings, new fluids/filter and some Gaz rear springs to go with my Gaz shocks. Also had some rear beam toe correction with...
No news as yet, other than doing an epic trackday at another club event. Hence not posting.
BUT... Lots of work will be happening to the little beast in a couple of weeks which I shall update once complete.
In even bigger news I've decided it's going to be boosted before the year is out. So...
Yeah I've had mine done and it really is noticeable, plus the added benefits of it not idling like s**t in the cold etc.
But it is a much smoother car to drive, low down power as Alex said. Just means your not forever waiting for 5k to go somewhere.
Well worth the investment IMO
Mine is...
I just don't wanna drive the best part of an hour and a half if there isn't good numbers! Having said that I'll prob end up over lakeside after anyways [emoji85]
Soo another bit of progress (very slow progress now)
Fitted a whiteline RARB but haven't got Any pics of that.
Makes it much tighter in corners, very happy i invested in one!
And on Monday i took a trip to engine dynamics for a re map, made 154.9bhp @ the wheels after mapping circa 184@ fly...
