Cheers mate yeh color changes are a chore especially if they are metallic/Pearl even more so if you doing engine bay, I’d like a ph1 sunflower but stupid money now so if I was to own one it would be a rough silver one colour changed 😂

yeah mines silver lol, but it does come up well.... have to see how much enthusiasm I have to crack out the DA 🙈

I had a Honda Accord centre silencer, and a transit mid pipe with a 90 degree bend in it. All out the scrap bin. Paid my mate £40 to weld it all up.

I got on to Oulton, Donnington and Combe with it fine mate.
I didn’t have a cat fitted but it did actually have one in that video.

 

[scash88]

+1 vote to keep it on the F1's, looks so cool!

 

[Ben perry]

Swapped back on 2118 for now as f1 tyres on rear are borderline legal saving them for track Spaced wings Today and did tracking and set camber on front up also got snett 2nd of June booked 👀 and a beading shot

 

[CFAB]

A ktec stealth would tuck under nicely and they do sound lovely aswell.

The 2118’s are just proper aswell

 

[TonkaTruck]

Sell me this please!

Little update sorted out wheel rubbing issues but still had a funny noise under hard cornering a lot of head scratching I decided to check how much plunge there was in driveshaft and there wasn’t a lot.. so @NorthloopCup had a look at few pics to notice the subframe was a possible cause so I fortunately had one wich had a wider track cheers again mate so swapped it and gave it a gearbox oil change for the correct lsd oil wow it’s completely changed van now drive shafts not bottoming out and smooth gear changes bring on snetterton 😂😂 now debating group n timing and a map or just go for a ED map dunno if worth the aggro for group N??

I had a 172 cup subframe on my old Kangoo and shafts to suit, and with -2.75 deg negative camber did not have much plunge on the shafts at all. On track with stock jc5 129, could hear the cv’s clacking a bit on hard cornering, only noticed the cv noise on my external camera footage as my exhaust was ridiculously loud Inside.

I was talking to a race team at Croft in the garage next to mine who were testing a mk4 clio cup racer, and he told me he had ran mk2 cup racers, and shafts bottomed out with -3 negative camber or more on the sadev.

Defo needs a stealth back box like my old one. Single silencer system was head ache inducing at motorway speeds, so would fit a reaonator in the centre if using it on road/motorways lol.

Yeh mate mine was bad didn’t know if it was because of the slipper as you could feel it through the steering wheel badly it felt a bit scatty after doing alignment then I took camber bolts out it was better but it would knock bad going round round abouts enthusiastically but yeh now it’s on it!

yeh next is exhaust I haven’t noise tested it yet but I’m confident it will get on track miltek resonated I’m gunner mod back box to stealth 100% 😂 I thought the twin would grow on me but it’s done the opposite especially after seeing your system 😂

 

[Ben perry]

Well it’s a van shaped bonfire atm

Need to pull box out as I don’t think this is normal also gear selection was poor 😂😂

 

[Mickb]

Cheers mate yeh I’ll be honest i didn’t give it a thought but my bro mentioned it the other day.. I think it will be a job for the future 😏

Did mine with 4, as the kangoo slightly longer

Nice mate have you got any pics ?

 

[Ben perry]

Well pulled the box out and who ever done the “rebuild” is a dong..
So gunner take box to my specialist togive a thorough check over..fit a clio engine they said! it will be fun they said! 😂😂

 

[Ben perry]

Little update got the box out down to specialists it was missing the thrust washer hence the nut came loose I guess and I had to have a new first gear and main shaft as it had worn them badly but all new seals and what it needed and some more mtl redline oil shes mint again and made a start on modifying the Zorst made a new rear mount and revised middle mount I flipped the back box and I got a couple of 90 bends on way looks loads better as a miltek stealthy boi
Cheers again roll on track day with @Craig172Kangoo

Cheers mate and yeh that redline stuff is immense are you gear changes all smooth ect ?

 

[Craig172Kangoo]

Cheers mate and yeh that redline stuff is immense are you gear changes all smooth ect ?

Changes gear fine, I did use some cheap oil when I did the build so should probably put some decent stuff in it to see if that does the trick.
