Dan@SJM's 1720v

[Welsh.Dan]

Lol. No wonder it looked a bit on the edge at that speed! [emoji5]

Hope the 're shell goes smoothly and look forward to seeing it in action again.

Cup = mans car. Allegedly.

Well this has come on a way since i was last on CS!

I remember being at the bedford RS track evening in 2013 with you Dan and it having the ITB set up, i've got a great picture of it i'll upload if i can find it.... bad luck having to re-shell though, that Porsche grey is possibly one of my favourite car colours!

Onwards and Updaward's, so to speak...

So new shell has been collected...

Pictures stolen shamelessly from one of @Porkie's threads.

Many thanks to @Richy182. for the help/company, @BIGASH for the help loading it and of course telling me it was for sale
Kinda in 2 minds what to do, whether to just reshell the grey one into it, or go properly balls out and mental With it.

 

[masekwm]

Nice buy!
This mean you'll have a rear cage for sale?

 

[lapapps]

Balls to the wall dan.
You know you want more power
Love this blue tbh
Glad your happy with it

That was going to be my next job, they were getting in a bad way. Sad but it's only metal. French, rusty metal. How much for the shell?

(I'm half joking)

Also the arch repair was done in 2008-2009 IIRC, wasn't when painted. It had peppered right down to the core - was real bad. Rust is always gonna come back eventually unless you replace it with fresh steel. Which is what you're doing

Sorry mate hadn't seen these!

Exactly why the shell is going, I'll be forever chasing it.

The shell won't be useable when I've finished... It'll be prototyping

 

[Dan@SJM]

But, anyway I'm slowly gathering bits for the rebuild...

(Ignore the box..)

I've also got another block and large port head, gathering bits to do a 2.0 stroker. I've also agreed to buy a DASH2, which'll make the wiring side easy.

I had it on the rollers the other day (I'd paid for a full day and had finished early) and this was the result (exhaust is a restriction as it was making power steadily then flat lined)

 

[Silent_Scone]

lol crackers. Yeah it's a shame but the underside needs some serious work

Here's a pic from back in 08. I'm surprised it's lasted this long tbh!

 

[Paul J]

New shell looks good Dan

 

[Dan@SJM]

New shell looks good Dan :wink:

What on earth are you doing on here?

Haha, it's been a while since I've been here! I was going through old bookmarks and found the log in here still works!

Not tempted with another yet then :tonguewink:

Well the Alpina's time is up i think but I just can't find a replacement I like enough. Took out a A5 but wasn't hugely impressed with the drive, looked at a Cayman but it's simply not practical as a everyday car. Other option is cheap boring practical, focus estate or something and a toy car. God knows, too many options for someone so indecisive :0

I saw you at RITS, was gonna head over and say hi but once we finished yapping were we were, I couldn't see you. I caught up with OG and he mentioned you took him out for a little fright in the grey one lol

Cheap and boring car and a toy, you know it makes sense. If you're around today pop over work, I'll take you for a spin

 

[ALD]

That's a lot of boost!

Not really, there are people I know running 50 psi.

 

[ALD]

50psi on these engines I should say

If speced right they can cope well with it

Some Rev to over 10,000 rpms

 

[_Tom]

Lol at not sure whether to go balls out with the new shell. You already have my friend
