Cub's Flamer - Supercharged, Cage etc

[Cub.]

Final bit of work done ready for Bedford. Got my powdercoated Willys wheels back with the Direzzas fitted, then faffed about with the spacers / caliper & wheel weight clearance / arch clearance at the front.

Had to chop some of the inner arch out at the front! Lol!

Got there though;

 

[Cub.]

The bit chopped out of the arches both sides...

Sadly the brake ducts won't fit around the boost pipe on the right hand side. So they'll need some modification fit. I'll run Bedford without them, see what the cooling is like. Then fit them modified if needed, or sell them on if not needed.

I'd mount the GoPro further back, so you can see driver too!

No wants to see me. Trust me. And if I did mount it further back, all you'd see is me. None of the track. 😂

Car looks great f**kface. :up: from me.

 

[Joe#]

Wheels look superb What's the offset like on them?

 

[Cub.]

Wheels look superb :smile: What's the offset like on them?

Its large. Lol!

ET35 I think. I've had to swap the 16mm spacers off the back to 5mm spacers, and on the front I'm still running 16mm spacers but had to cut alot out of the arches etc! ha ha

 

[M.C..]

Wheels look good, you don't have much clearance on them calipers.
I have my gopro on the rear cross, you can always change the angle to get the best picture set it up with the app then you can see what the camera sees on your phone without keep putting it on the computer.

 

[Christopher.]

Mount the GoPro to your helmet

Wheels look massive, cant wait for a ride at beford in this.

The clearance is minimal. Completely minimal. Going to be interesting see how they fair at Bedford!

 

[welshname]

Looking good! Take it the wheels are all straight etc?

They're straight bud, but you saw how battered they were, so with second hand tyres aswell, plenty of wheel weights were needed to get them balanced out!

Can't wait for Bedford now. Just hope the weather is ok, which I believe it isn't going to be...

Very Nice Cub, I ain't been on here in a good while but you have certainly moved this on some, well done. Look forward to your TD video's.

Given you have recently bought the brake upgrade and are in the loop as such, I'm guessing nobody has managed to fit the Brembo's under a 15" wheel with no spacers on 280mm (or bigger) discs?

Cheers Morgan. And yep, without spacers, I can't find a single 15" wheel that will go over the Brembos.

Mine has cup wishbones, and when I fit the roll centre kit from @NorthloopCup I'll get even more width, so will need to do as much as I can to keep the wheels from scrubbing. I may need to go to 195's annoyingly. Or get stiffer springs now the car will only really see a track. Will see.

Stiffer springs mate. You can buy my ast's when I split the cup. Lol! You'll need 450lb up front minimum.

 

[Rob]

Looks hard as nails on those wheels bear man! Epic work!

 

[welshname]

Good news on them at least being straight enough to balance. Car looks so mean. Look forward to cadging a passenger lap next time you're at oulton.

 

[TimR26]

Looks good Oli.

Brembos should cope well without the need for cooling.

 

[Mr R.]

Mount the GoPro to your helmet :wink:

I don't want a video of the dash. :stig:

 

[dmallett]

flame red on black willy wheels is a king combo!

 

[Keith185]

Car looks brilliant. Got same brakes in process of getting fitted and hubs youre waiting on too for mine

 

[Budgie]

I've got your torque wrench at mine. xx

 

[Cub.]

I'll text you bud, as we're due a catch up! X

 

[Scrooge]

Epic little car, needs a detail though

Can't wait to see videos!

You'll kill me.... It is more than a little bit swirly...😂

I'll have a think and get some dates over in the summer. Only problem is, I wanted to do some paint work to the Beemer, and I can't drive both over!

 

[Scrooge]

Can only do one at a time anyhoo

Also nothing stopping me getting the gear over to yours to do it tbh, saves the dirty journey back lol

 

[cat171]

I'll come for a meet up

 

[Cub.]

Sounds like another bbq / meet at Cubmanor is on the cards...

Will the peasants be allowed through the gates ?

Will the peasants be allowed through the gates ?

Don't worry. It's too far for me to go.

 

[Cub.]

Don't worry. It's too far for me to go.

Bullshit. You're long overdue a trip down here NoChin.

 

[welshname]

Bullshit. You're long overdue a trip down here NoChin.

This is true.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Don't worry. It's too far for me to go.

It's 185 miles from Manc to Reading. Probably less in reality.
It's nearly 100 from mine.......

Yeah when I first fitted this kit around 2 years ago I tried several wheels and realised I was never going to get a 15" wheel to fit and have a half decent offset so I scrapped the idea and started to run them on my track car which had 16" wheels, your options increase greatly then.

I was told at the time that this and that 15" wheel would fit when actually it turns out, just like I proved at the time yet had people butting heads with me that it's just not easy.... Just a bit of a rant from me really. I hope you do find something to suit as i'll copy quickly but to me the only option is to go custom bells and rotors sadly.

 

[Cub.]

Not much to update here. Ran it around a bit, then the MOT ran out and I haven't had time to take it in for it's test yet, so need to sort that this week.

Once MOT'd it is heading off to get the roll centre adjustment kit fitted and full geo.

Bought another set of the willy wheels;

They currently have ditch finders on, so they are going to be replaced with some Yoko AD08Rs.

Question is, what colour? Black like the others, or gold or grey or silver?

Votes please, and photoshops if anyone is kind enough. Can use the photos of the black ones above. @SharkyUK :smile:

 

[TimR26]

Gold.

You'll probably do something stupid like painting them white though!

 

[Bluebeard]

Silver.

 

[Bluebeard]

Boom!

 

[Cub.]

Mmm. Silver does look good.
