JMS 182 Racecar.

[Christopher.]

Easally adjusted.

Hows that work then, replace the actual stick or extend it somehow ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

undo a 13mm nut and adjust it, surprised no one apart from me noticed that before LOL

there was tom rambling on about having to make parts and spend hours designing bits to moddify the gear linkage, he sat in the dynacup and simply went "ooh"

 

[Christopher.]

LOL very simple then.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Indeed - so simple!

 

[mag1caltrev0r]

Maybe we need a guide on how to move the gearstick

 

[Tom@JMS]

For all those 'hatin the transit rad: (ignore the huge bit of loose nimbus shield.)

Hung the fan on the back for an approximate location:

Stayed late tonight and plumbed in all of the remaining brake lines.

Rears:

Tidied up > home time!

 

[Jonesyuk]

[Nafoff]

Sorry if I've allready asked but what filter set up are you going to run in the jenveys? I'm using a 50m CF dished backing plate and a pipercross c604d filter. You will have issues fitting a similar one with your rad size!

 

[JamesS]

- Can/Serial adapter

What are you using a CAN to Serial adaptor for?

If the Dash 2 supports CAN, just use a straight CAN connection between the EC1 and the dash. It gives you far more scope for expandability in the future, and less wiring.

 

[Tom@JMS]

The DASH2 output is serial on conn 2, you then run a connector from the serial output to the ECU which also doubles as a terminator. It's not a big deal really as the wiring is nice and tidy, but I can see what you are suggesting

It will be fine. Firstly the rad will be a lot lower than the image shows once it's fitted.

Filtration wise I am making my own filter backing flat with carbon bell mouths and an ITG filter element. The inards will look similar to the bell mouths/backing plate used in the RS2 (top of image):

pimping

 

[Tom@JMS]

Cheap!

After all the customer cars had made their way home I wheeled the car outside for some grinder action as James gets a girly fit on due to the mess it makes (pfftt )

The main aim was to clean up the interior and remove the stock seat rails / plate in the drivers side footwell. 3mm steel and a lot of spot welds.

Also marked up the various holes to be filled.

And another nice shot of the cage with the roof bars:

 

[david hodson]

them welds on the X section did want grinding back , looks ace as always

 

[chrispy.clio]

Looking good!

Grind the long metal strip that runs infront of the seat. Then when you move your feet it won't catch your boots. Wish I had done mine before getting the inside painted

 

[Tony Hunter]

It is a ballache,but worth removing,took me ages

As above mate, already planned, prob going to lay down a sheet of diamond cut under the drivers feet.

Inch thick honey comb carbon and after market pedal box ftw

Small update, no real work done to the car as simple lack of time.

Subframe/wishbones cleaned up:

Stiffening plates & bearings for wishbones:

Package from Mr Faulks.

Flywheel.

A bloody great box...... with a heated windscreen & loom + plastic windows all round inside.

Vapour blasted (glass bead suspended in water) the rocker cover and breather plate. Seals the material unlike conventional blasting meaning it is wipe clean, will leave it in the virgin ali silver I think.

Gearbox & cams are imminent, so once they are here I'll book a weekend alone in the workshop and crack on.

More to come when I have a moment.:approve:

 

[Rob]

A great read Tom, keep it up

 

[Sir_Dave]

I look forwards to the 6th June. Pffft.

 

[Nafoff]

forgot about the screen god dam it.....
looks like good progress mate

lol at peoples projects where they are just taking photos of boxes that turn up....

 

[Gray]

BTW, the finish looks very nice on the cam cover... what company did you use for the vapour blasting?

 

[Silent_Scone]

ooooo clean things!

 

[JackJack]

Is this still going to be running a dry sump?

 

[chrispy.clio]

Some nice goodies. I have not heard of the vaper blasting thing. Looks good bare alloy.

 

[Tombola]

Great read guys. When are you going racing?

 

[Sir_Dave]

First trackday 'testing' session is in 4 weeks time.

Nick, Mike & I have a £60 bet that says it wont be ready

I'd love to be proven wrong though, purely so that Ollie stops moaning.

I don't moan.....I constructively whinge.

Your bet has now pretty much guaranteed that it'll be finished.....or at least ready to shakedown. Can you ever imagine that Tom would let £60 go wanting? Or pay up for that matter.....

Don't worry Jay. You'll see us before you 'retire'.

Stiffening plates & bearings for wishbones:

Interesting, thought of making something similar myself. Where did you get these?

 

[chrispy.clio]

Pure Motorsport sell lots of bits like that. ^


There can't be much more to do on the car is there! Looms are getting built for you so that the hardest bit. A few late nights/ alldayers and it'll be finished!

 

[Tombola]

Whenever its done it looks like itl be an awesome car. Love the colour scheme!

 

[GodSpeed]

Only seen it for the rear axle before.

 

[Jay Payne]

Oh you ain't seen nothing yet.....you wait until it's finished

Just dont look too closely after a season of racing. It will be ruined. Ours was

 

[suicidehobbit]

i think they may have been jesting..


edit - nice thread btw - i'd love to have the time, money, space, tools and know how to do somethig like this. Dont know whats stopping me really..
