Where did you get your stud and nut kit from? I googled MAP's but couldn't get an answer.
Cheers

They are on eBay, very good customer service as they sent me black nuts and replaced one which fell out

This is turning into the car that mine should be! You'll have to bring it up to Snet again

 

[masekwm]

I may do an evening at Snet again this year, want to do three I've not done Oulton, Cadwell and The Ring primarily though.

 

[masekwm]

Got two photos from BeanieSport yesterday

Car finally back on 4 wheels since November 20th.

A photo of the car at Blyton in September was posted on Facebook.

 

[masekwm]

All set up again, B14s, Whiteline, Quaife, rebuilt box, lightened flywheel all done.

It's got another week in the workshop to fit the bodies and it'll be off for mapping and ready for Bedford at the end of next month.

 

[Bluebeard]

When you see the Beanie boys, tell them I'm still waiting for their reply!!

 

[Martin.]

Can you feel the difference with the light fly wheel mate?? I couldn't with mine!

Seriously looking forward to Bedford. Can't wait for some passenger laps in this!

Will do

@Martin. It felt so different today, only ran it up and down the lane leading to Beaniesport but completely different to how it was. Didn't really have time to think about what had changed though as drive was so short. It's a shame it'll not have the cage & seats by Bedford but nevermind

It was going for boost, but Chris convinced me to fit the bodies, all of his work on the car has been fantastic and I'm looking forward to getting it back next week and then the boring drive to EFi

 

[masekwm]

Bring on the trumpets!

 

[Stay Puft]

Looks great mate. Can't wait to get lapped at Bedford

 

[masekwm]

Looks great mate. Can't wait to get lapped at Bedford 😧

You won't mate, but theres no shame in being overtaken on track. We've all been beginners, and I'm used to moving out the way for those with bigger balls than me.

[Chambers_RS]

I heard this is coming on well!

 

[masekwm]

@Chambers_RS its getting there, dropped the last bits for the bodies in today so hoping it's complete this week and ready for mapping

 

[masekwm]

Picked up the car last night from Beaniesport. The work is fantastic. No photos as it was late and I was meant to be in a pub miles away when I collected it. Chris was rather shocked that my immediate plan was to drive 160miles and drop it at EFI-Parts for mapping.

The noise from the bodies is incredible, I stopped at a services on the M6 for a wee, and as I rejoined I had head out the window listening to the noise. It's not as powerful as a turbo but the soundtrack is great!

Cruising on the motorway isn't as nice now though with the Megane 5th gear in the gearbox especially with the unsilenced Ktec exhaust

Look forward to getting it back from EFI mapped in the next week.

 

[masekwm]

Map complete today... 203hp & 166lb/ft :smile:

Wish I'd put the 421s in! 😞

 

[bloke]

graph?

 

[masekwm]

graph?

Not yet, just confirmation email from Chris.

 

[bloke]

don't really need to see it, know it will look good:wink:

 

[JohnnyE]

Nice one mate mines getting mapped with Chris soon as soon as Carl has sorted my bodies,
PS hope your train journey was ok....

 

[masekwm]

@JohnnyE Cheap train took hours and kept stopping! Thanks for the lift, I appreciate it!

No probs your welcome

What's the engine spec otherwise Keith? Apart from the bodies?

 

[masekwm]

What's the engine spec otherwise Keith? Apart from the bodies?

Standard engine with bodies & ARP Bolts fitted.

But, it's always been a strong one. Hopefully it stays that way!

 

[Tommo.]

How does it drive now it's been mapped @masekwm?

I'd love a set of bodies for mine at some point, so would be interested to see what you think to the way it drives.

 

[imprezaworks]

Awesome result

 

[subarufreak]

how are the b14s is comparison to stock? is it much harsher to drive?

 

[masekwm]

@Tommo I'll let you know next week, it's staying at EFI until the weekend so it can be ran from cold and the map tweeked so it starts and idles like a standard car.

@subarufreak - I hated them on the motorway on Saturday night, as I couldn't use full power as it wasn't mapped I was stuck in the truck ruts that are worn into the first lane of the motorway. I'll see but at the moment, I prefer the Cup Shocks & Cooksports they replaced!

 

[masekwm]

@imprezaworks I'm over the moon with the power results, now to find a second hand PMS manifold and keep going!

 

[imprezaworks]

Good stuff Keith glad your happy

 

[masekwm]

Picked car up today, it's a lot of fun!
@bloke

 

[imprezaworks]

I'm no expert but that graph looks smooth

 

[bloke]

that's on standard cams as well isn't it?

 

[masekwm]

@bloke Yep, saving cams for when I can afford a PMS manifold & exhaust

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice

 

[bloke]

wouldn't even bother with cams, would be tempted to just do pms manifold and exhaust, should see a decent enough gain from them and save paying out to get cams fitted:wink:

Not going to do it this year. Going to keep standard trim & spec for this years track use. Sold my 438s, will buy another set next winter and do it for 2017 as belts will be nearly due then anyway.

Track calendar starting to look nice for 2016:
Feb - Bedford
March - Cadwell
April - Oulton
May - Blyton with CSOC
Sept - Anglesey

Need to fit in a Ring trip and a trip back to Snet.

 

[bloke]

will try and pop over when you do oulton and see how it's going.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Great result!

As Carl said I'd be tempted just to do the manifold and exhaust and leave the cams.
