JMS 182 Racecar.

[Ollie82.]

Very funny fellas. Also very old.

Basically the whole process has been held up by the engine build......in particular the cams. All will be explained in due course by Tom in probably a more diplomatic manner than what i can muster.

Needless to say that updates have not been coming in thick and fast even though we have made lots of headway with the car up to this point, but to be honest we aren't too bothered who we 'let down' or 'disappoint' as long as we and our sponsors are happy.
The car will basically be done when its done.

 

[Sir_Dave]

Hurry up with it Parker, i want a go in it ... not that i can reach the pedals/see over the steering wheel

 

[Ollie82.]

We'll get you a big cushion Dave......and some blocks of wood

 

[GSKingsbury]

Wow. I actually just looked and read my way through this whole thread. Very very impressive indeed looks like it need's some more updates though :rasp: !!

 

[Ollie82.]

UPDATE

Well the camshaft issues that have caused the delays have now (hopefully) been put behind us. This meant that Tom could build the engine back up, bolt all the pretty powdercoated parts back on and as of last night, reunite it with the rebuilt gearbox and then reunite the whole thing with the car.

Obviously while all the engine fun has been going on there has been a lot of work going on inside the car. Im lacking detailed pics but the seat mounts were made and the seat is now in, the polycarbs are all fitted all well as the heated screen rasp and James, sparky specialist, has wired up the interior loom and mounted a central control switch box so we hav working lights, wipers etc.

There is still a long list of things 'to do' but we'll get there. I'll be throwing myself into the mix to sort out the things that im allowed to do (or should i say the things that Tom can bear to let go of and let someone else do ), things like the new doorcards, harnesses etc.
We should also see the new wheel colour next week......that may give a clue to the colour scheme we plan to run with...

 

[Budgie]

Pics aren't working for me.. ):

 

[Wick]

Wow, loads of progress since I last looked in here!! Top work Can't wait to see it up and running!

Now that IS looking nice. Where did the ITG filter and backing plate come from?

 

[Ollie82.]

We got chatting to one of the guys from ITG, who's name escapes me, when we went to the Autosport show earlier in the year so he hooked us up with this setup. We trial fitted the bonnet this morning and it sat a little proud so Tom has 'fettled' the inner skin and now it fits perfectly.

 

[chrispy.clio]

The backing plate looks like the one i have from Reverie. Very nice bit of carbon fibre

I'm not really a fan of ITG, as the filter i ran on my ITB's felt quite restrictive which is why i'm back with Pipercross.

The Engine mount/cambelt cover looks a little odd in black. Would have looked better if it was silver or had the fancy underwater shot blasting thing the cam cover had.

Good work tho Lads

 

[Sir_Dave]

Is that the Cup alternator setup instead of the PMS kit Ollie?

Looking good btw, the crazy fool was up till 3 last night doing all that apparently lol ...

 

[Ollie82.]

It's a combo of the delete kit pulleys and the cup alt setup...complete with a new alternator and a flanged crankshaft pulley.

 

[Mr Sexman]

Im after a filter setup like this, the ITG filter supplied with the ktec throttle bodies is pants,

if anyone can give me a link to it, or point me in the direction of where to get it from that would be great

 

[Silent_Scone]

pretty pulleys! Looks smashing

The Carbon backing plate/box

The Filter I use

But i'd give Dan a ring from 519 Automotive as he is the best person to get them from as he is the cheapest.

Thanks for the links, the one to the carbon backing plate says "product could not be found"

also to be a pain but would you know which filter you are running with regards to sizing there are 3 different sizes

Cheers

I'm running the biggest filter they do, the C604D but you can probably get away with a smaller one if you have the DTH bodies. You just need to make sure you have as least 19mm from the end of you trumpets to the inner face of the filter. I also bought the biggest filter as I'm putting 120mm trumpets on mine over the winter.

 

[Ollie82.]

so he hit it with a hammer?

Judging by the amount of dents that are now in the outer skin of the bonnet I'd not be surprised if he used some sort of hammer!

 

[gerupsausage]

looks great...keep an eye on this one

 

[Fred@BTM]

is there a race series in the "show and shine" category?

My car is finished and running sweet as a nut!  I just haven't updated my thread for a while!

 

[Gray]

Whats the 'real' difference between 90 / 120mm trumpets?

More torque, longer duration??

 

[TimR26]

Looking good, not long until it's finished then hopefully

 

[IcemanUK]

is there a race series in the "show and shine" category?

If there is I am aiming to win it
