That last photo is so good! It sits perfectly

Safe to say I'm speechless

I wouldn't expect anything less.

Post a few in the TIL thread and tag @Daniel it drives him wild. [emoji23][emoji23]

WOW.... that's a nice exhaust. The welding is amazing ! Love the colours that come out from tig and stainless.

 

[dann2707]

I can't even begin to stress how happy I am with it.
He's been checking over other problems for me too. Noticed a vac leak, loose top mounts, other bits and bobs. He didn't have to... But he did and has gone the extra length.

I pick it up tomorrow and f**k me I am so so so excited

 

[mintno1]

That looks epic, bet you can't wait for tomorrow, when are you off for mapping, soon hopefully :smile:

 

[OssPoop]

Quality job that, shame its hidden under the car!

 

[haimsey]

Very good workmanship there! Seems a shame to put it where no one can see it!

 

[Jekyll]

Exhaust and craftsmanship looks fantastic!

 

[dann2707]

Well today I picked it up from Flux Fabrication and I thought my smile was exhausted, it was not. It looked even better in person.

I then drove it from Flux to the nearest alignment centre and man... i'd forgotten how quick it was even not giving it some due to the lack of alignment.

I got it aligned to 12 minutes toe out each side and 2 deg negative camber. I then drove it back to my house giving it some now and again and it genuinely scared me at times. It's an absolute weapon. I think the lack of insulation and carpet etc combined with the power is just a scary feeling inside it's like all hell breaks loose.

Problems to note and things that will be getting sorted out.

- Its cutting power when gunning it in third, almost like a boost limit then cutting fuelling. Will speak to Chris when i'm at Efi in a few weeks to see if it's something in the mapping.

- The brakes feel great now i'm back to boosted brakes but....................... the car is fish tailing badly when braking hard, like one caliper is working much better. I think the seals / pistons need changing as I was looking into it a few months ago as one was seeping a bit. Overall they look worn and perished. So will buy a piston and seal kit I reckon.


Whilst the car was on the ramps for tracking I took some more pictures of the exhaust in place. It looks just.. perfect!

Mapping in a few weeks time.. lets hope I can make a bit more power than 256bhp now i've sorted out the boost leak. Even if I don't and the fuelling is adjusted to account for the boost leak fix and new exhaust I will be very very happy at this power.

Looks amaaaazing. Just needs a flat rear wiper blank to finish off the back!

 

[dann2707]

Also booked Cadwell park for the end of may, and got Blyton park at the end of this month with Work.

It's going to be a fun / expensive year I can tell.

 

[James]

Epic

 

[leeds2592]

I'm giddy for mapping day

 

[JamesBryan]

Exhaust is a work of art!

12 mins toe out each side! That right?

Yeah I went tame this time I usually have 15 mins out each side

 

[JamesBryan]

Fark! I have that total

 

[Pedro ramalho]

Perfect

Very good job

 

[dann2707]

Fark! I have that total

tha needs to pull tha finger out and man up!

 

[JamesBryan]

tha needs to pull tha finger out and man up!

Would be too much especially with a diff. Unstable at high speed and under heavy braking.

 

[Jamess182]

Looks mega mate! Not long until it's finally 'finished' so you can actually enjoy it properly!

 

[leeds2592]

1 WEEK TO GO

 

[dann2707]

Got a few things to sort out after the mapping and track day.
Ideally I want to sort them before but time is something I don't have right now!

Brake on the right seems to not be working that well so under heavy braking it's pulling me left dramatically.

There's a hole in the floor that needs welding up. Should be easy enough to fix.

Petrol tank is leaking which ain't good!

Exciting for mapping now though

 

[dann2707]

Mot = passed
Think me and @leeds2592 sorted the brake issue out last night by rebleeding them as it doesn't seem to be pulling left as much anymore.
We then went for a spin and bloody hellllllll it's a laugh. We had this one moment where the only way to describe it was like in star wars when you're flying in space and everything is whizzing by you. It is genuinely scary to drive now. But man, I am happy that it's all working.

Random picture from this morning

 

[leeds2592]

This thing is such a laugh, can't imagine it with more horsepower but that's what's going to happen on Thursday

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Just read nearly all of the 3500 posts on this thread[emoji23][emoji23]

I’m from just outside of Ossett, I swear I’ve seen you around at some point.

Holy moly how long did that take?

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Holy moly how long did that take?

A few hours

Was worth it tbh, made a few hours pass by while I was at work

 

[R29TJR]

Exhaust looks great.

Fingers crossed for the track day.

 

[dann2707]

All set now. Fingers crossed for next week.

 

[dann2707]

It's the big day today.

I will try and update when I can but as I'm sure many will know when you are there in the moment sorting out issues etc the last thing to think of is updating your thread. Will see if @leeds2592 wants to commentate on my behalf.

Mapping is at 3:30.

 

[Panda.]

hope it doesn't go bang. x

 

[dann2707]

I mean, I hope it goes bang a bit to get me the power I'm after but not too much bang ya get me?

 

[Louis]

 

[JamesBryan]

If it drives fine on the road, there's no reason why it shouldn't be ok on the rollers.

 

[Cerrone]

Hope it all goes good mate! Bet your like a kid at Christmas!

We all have a bang limit

 

[Chambers_RS]

Good luck at mapping bud

Did you get my Pm

 

[mintno1]

Good luck, looking forward to the results

When is Blyton Dan?
