[Kyle.]

Im sure ill see it soon! Mines only bin gone two days and im missing it!! Matt blacks wheel we be good!

 

[jams]

Are you putting 172 widetrack on before Marham?

 

[AdamAnderton]

No mate need 172 driveshafts and williams coilovers got the rest of the stuff. Dont think im going to have enough time to get it all done as till got to strip the car out and fit the bucket seat and alot of other stuff before marham and its only 3 weeks now

 

[AdamAnderton]

Little update

Grill arrived the other day and is now fitted

Before

After

Looks alot better with the grill in

Also got a coops solid dogbone mount

and last of all sprayed the manifold with high temp paint to tidy it up

 

[Matteh]

nice work! :approve:

Excellent project this, naples red with gunmetal grey wheels allt he way.

 

[jams]

Not a bad job at all. If you don't have widetrack fitted at Marham our cars will be pretty much identical on paper.

Might have to get my self some cans of paint Black,gunmetal grey and maybe another colour to see wot looks the best, Then get them powdercoated

iirc you have got coilovers so you will be better through the corners as im on spax dampers and springs that came on the car atm 172 widetrack/williams coilovers soon woop, We will see wot the supersprint manifold can do for me maybe a little more torque not much i would say, only 3 weeks and lots of things to do, cutting center silencer out on saturday welding new peice of pipe in and putting new manifold on, also at the sametime the coops solid dogbone mount should make a difference.

 

[wookie]

The solid dogbone mount i made for mine was horrid, might try it again when the f7r goes in as it will have 2 new upper engine mounts to replace the broken ones!!

And i should have bought the manifold off winston when i bought the engine doh!

Was going to make my own at first but for the price coops was selling them for i thought id just buy one off him, save me messing round and then i can sell it on when i get a new engine

f0xy told me about it and i said yes straight away, picked it up net day :rasp:

 

[f0xy]

Decided to take the center silencer out on friday and swap it with a straight length of stainless steel that i bought from pipewerx, Lathom nr wigan £10 for half a metre and then got the ends oppend out to slide onto the existing pipe, then went to a friend who welded the center section up along with the manifold flange as it twisted so it would fit other exhausts.

We then cut the excess on the end to make it flat and fit to the decat

I then took it home to fit it back to the standart manifold, It was slightly longer then it was before which was good as the taile pipe was out of the bumper as it was flush with the it before

This is wot was cut out the old silencer

On saturday started to fit the supersprint manifold
Started by taking off the old downpipe off and it gat stuck between the driveshafts and the back of the engine bay, so i thought if i took the dogbone mount off to let the engine swing, it dropped out with ease.

I then had the challenge of taking the manifold out, as i was told the old bolt maybe stuck on and maybe hard to get off, sprayed the bolts with WD40 and left it for 5 mins, they came out pritty easy tbh, didnt realise they weigh that much.

The size difference and weight are so different

New one fitted

I then took the old dogbone mount off and replaced it with a coops solid one, it makes so much difference he said a little vibration, feels like my face is being shaken off lol

After putting the dobone mount back on i then put the down pipe back on and then realised there was a problem, the decat flange and the downpipe flange wasnt the same size

This was fixed by going back to my mates who does the welding and f0xy kindly donated the right size flange with a bit of pipe still on the end and it was the right size to fit over the 2" decat pipe this was then welded back up an inch and a half sorter, this was a bad idea as the tail pipe is now back in the bumper

Its all on now and its blowing a little bit but easly sorted, the only other problem i have is the way we have done the flanges on the decat and down pipe as it hangs an inch or so from the floor not too sure wot to do about it yet

[jams]

[jamie rigby]

bzzzzzzzz! is there a bee next to the video camera!?... lol

[f0xy]

bzzzzzzzz! is there a bee next to the video camera!?... lol

NO jamie there isnt just pure power
Flames awsome

Sure ill take you out in it next time your out

I think striping will take place tonight

[jamie rigby]

pffft! yeh thats what i said/meant, looked fkin mint from behind, yelow and blue flames y0

I think striping will take place tonight
update later

finally!! might be able to keep up with me then lol

 

[wookie]

This is the the one i made for mine, worked but the vibrations annoyed me, so took it off, been sat in my bedroom ever since lol

 

[AdamAnderton]

That is exactly the same as the one i have from coops
how much did you pay for the bits in total
im not to bothered about the vibrations as the car is going to be a track car

 

[jams]

I want mine to spit flames, mine pops but dont think it spits flames. Why do you think yours flames?

 

[f0xy]

Yours will jams when its red hot, whiteleys was at marham last year, even with a center silencer, just needs to be hot enough on overrun...

Adams will do it more because of the manifold

 

[jams]

I hope it does, i've never been out with someone following behind but hopefully will sometime soon. Still got the centre section in mine aswell and the exhust is hanging really low. Can't go over speedbumps, so that'll need sorting before marham, I remember yours last year scrapeing going in.

 

[jamie rigby]

Why do you think yours flames?

me and jord are witnesses lol, looks kool as fcuk!!

 

[AdamAnderton]

Yours is hanging low jams, mine is about an inch from the floor as we welded the flange on the decat/manifold the wrong way lol need to sort it soon

Raced a fiesta st 150 the other day and the guy was shocked when i went past lol
Valver 1 fiesta 0

 

[wookie]

Mines a rally car but the vibrations still pi55ed me off lol, and mine spits flames and bangs and pops when doing road rallys, i know as it lights up the lane behind you in the mirrors, bangs on up shifts nearly every time just like a sequential box.....,ish lol ( and no not the limiter!) Standard manifold and a full stainless magnex, which id never have chosen but was on the car when i bought it, and now after re-welding it and making new mounts is totaly flat the to underside of the car and records 86db at noise test.

And parts i got from work, so just made it up, never looked to see how much one was to buy...,anyone want a solid dogbone for £10? lol!!

 

[AdamAnderton]

Started to strip the car today, was abit worried abot wot i would find when i started to remove things but all is ok, few liitle bits of rust but nothing major

There is quite abit of stuff to remove and still quite abit more

This is the steering wheel i will be putting on, saved it from my last car

Tomorrow i will be getting some bars for welding so i can put my bucket seats in they are Sparco pro 2000 also from previous car

also tomorrow i will be striping the rest of the car out. The things that are left, carpet, few little bits of trim, roof liner remove seats for bars to be welded in
