Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Rear spacers were finished today using 4 off 75x75x10 steel plates, so 2 on each side to make 20mm per wheel. They are being fitted between the rear beam and the whole hub assembly.

Hi
Great idea this , can you remember the size of the holes and what was the distance between the centers ?
Its snowing outside so far too cold for stripping :dapprove:
Thanks

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

you dont have to do it naked

20mm was too much, im using 15mm now with -3degree's camber. 3 x 10mm holes and 1 x 8mm hole 46mm centres

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

hi nowt wrong with a bit of nakedness i thought thats how the detailers apply there "wax"

anyways thanks for the details but why 1 x 8mm surely the bolts are all the same size , no ?

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

ahhh, thats where ive been going wrong with my car cleaning lol. the one hole is an 8mm bolt, rest are 10mm randomly

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Not quite a car update, but had bigger and better things to worry about the last 2 months. For those who don't know and do care, I finally sold my house and have purchased a nice house with the better half (huge thanks to Jez for helping move). This leaves me with three things, a slightly larger garage, more spare time and most importantly a little extra cash.

First thing before the car arrives was to sort the garage. So out came the badly wired 60w bulb and in went 4 strip lights and newly painted walls. Total cost £16. Free lights FTW

In the next few days/weeks will be a proper car update, good things are happening at the moment and all shall become clear.

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

yes, get that heater in there sharpish, even with one hand i wana get both the cars going :-D

 

[maynard]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

jealous of your garage... i'm badly in need of one!

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

And 2 cars we shall build ade, we need to get it done pronto ;-)

Cheers maynard, my only criteria on house purchase was a decent sized garage and luckily it all came together

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

So this will be ready for New years eve yeah?




I love the Fast car spec fridge lol

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

That fridge was in the kitchen and it was Emma who started the sticker bomb lol, if you've got any stickers feel free to bring them over ;-)

Small update then. After 2 weeks the car is where it belongs, i can't put it in the garage yet as it needs cleaning first and is caked in ice, I won't be having the rear arches rust on me from salt.

The idea for the supercharger was to buy bits over the next 18 months and build it slowly.....However, it's booked in at TDF in February to be fully mapped. This has taken me by surprise somewhat!

I spoke to Matt about 3 weeks ago about the costs of mapping the standard ecu, it wasn't a problem for him or myself but we got chatting and, well, basically this turned up today instead

It was a cost I wasn't expecting to pay but makes sommuch more sense and in the long run means I can add a digital dash alot easier. I've not yet started the wiring but have started the wiring diagram, already a huge thanks to burp and Matt@TDF for baring with me and the questions.

Over Xmas, 9fingered Adey and myself will commence the build on 2 cars, identical except for the ecu's. An interesting comparisson if nothing else. Over the next few days the cambelts will be changed and bottom pulleys replaced with megane parts.

All I need now to buy is a 2bar MAP sensor, 2nd coolant sensor, samco hoses, restrictor, oh and the charger itself but that's already in hand

Sorry for the long post, but over the next 5 weeks there will be plenty of updates with plenty of pics. Enjoy...

[Gray]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

yes, yes, yes... Fricking yes!

It's all coming together, where are you sourcing the charger from my love?

I'll bring some stickers over for the fridge

 

[maynard]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

good update....did you go for the renault exchange alternator in the end then?

 

[Hutchie]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

how come your EC1 came with a pre wired plug...
thats no fair, i imagine matt's learnt its easier.

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

I suggested that to Matt after I made a right mess of the plug. He wasn't keen at the time. The crimp tool I was using just chewed them up. His tool (£150) worked fine, Lol.

Dave is piggy backing the stock ecu so makes it easier for him


Edit: I'll reply to your email when I get chance Dave

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Yep did it from Renault mate, they didn't mind too much that the return unit won't be a cup.

Sod trying to build the plug myself, I would have been mapping the standard ecu if that was the case lol

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Santa-Adey popped by a moment ago, injectors and FMIC at last

 

[Nickharding]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Good work mate, will be amazing when finished.
Really like that FMIC, where did you get it from if you dont mind me asking?

 

[Gray]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

I think the phrase you're looking for is "fookin wayas"

'finished' being the ultimate word there. When this is up and running, I'm going to slowly build up a low comp engine and see what it can do. I've said it before in here I think,that the car will die with me, it won't be sold. I could never waste this much cash on a car I keep for 12 months.

The FMIC is off eBay but couldn't tell you exactly which one, adeyspecracing bought 2 for us both, the ones I ordered never arrived :-(

R dey Dem bad boi megane injectorz?

Sik.

Safe blud, tru dem is megane 225'z injectooooors yeh boi

Christmas eve must be a boring time for everyone lol ;-)

The green and black colour scheme will be staying in the engine bay too, thanks to samco and VHT paint

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

You've got it.

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

^ lol, I suspect I will be shouting similar to that pretty soon!

Well, the car not being attached to the engine may have had some adverse effects...

And how I just left it, tucked away in her new home

 

[Tony Hunter]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Have you moved those top mounts at all since it's been set up?

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Not touched them, think the bloke was drunk when he did them. Needs re-doing already anyway, quite fancy getting my own kit. Will have it done before llandow

 

[Jay Payne]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

FLOL!

 

[Nickharding]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Cheers mate. Just found a half decient one on the bay, just ordered, hope it arrives!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Oh I say! Did not expect to read this. GL mate, will be awesome

 

[bomber]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Managed to get out today, can't wait to have the cambelt out the way then I can crack on with the fun stuff. Today I finshed getting rid of the aircon then removed the Renault Ecu bracket and refitted it out the way of where the intake pipework will be going and few other bits

FMIC fitted and tested with the bumper on, fitted first time

Both ecu's fitted into new location ready for the wiring up which I genuinely cannot wait to start on

 

[Nickson]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

FMIC is a very good fit!
Looking awesome

 

[Gray]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

ahhh I see you also have the 'different' cam cover... With the circle shape cast on the middle of the inlet cam side!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Looking sexual Dave! When does the real work start?

 

[Gray]

Re: Bomber's Awesome Ph1 Track Slut

Ready for TTE next year I hope...

Although I don't know many tramps who roll with super charged, turbo charged, ITB'd cars lol!
