Re: someph-ing different...........

Mmmmm yes I like that Fred, nicer than the other brackets

Re: someph-ing different...........

Maybe a silly question but are you still running the 428's? Interested to see the dyno results if so.

Re: someph-ing different...........

That bay is cracking. Have the black parts been spray painted or powder coated? I need more pictures

closer pics of the bracket would be cool too

Bazzon · Jan 18, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

Ktec had a very similar bracket on there engine.

Think we are going to make one for our new engine. Very good idea.

Re: someph-ing different...........

its VHT paint, can buy it in halfords an stuff. mines covered in the same stuff

Fred@BTM · Jan 18, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

halford stuff is s**t just to warn you, the stuff i use is what they use at cosworth

k-tec's might be inexpensive, my one cost a few quid LOL!

i am indeed running the 428's still....will post results

bracket is a great idea, nice and out of the way
need a new battery now though, unsure whether to go redtop or not, then is so where to put it...

Gray · Jan 18, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

I don't think the "normal" battery looks out of place in your engine bay.... all looks very neat as is!

Although it does look a smaller size that other 172/182 batteries I have seen :S

i think it was the standard size battery, trying now to decide whether its worth getting a red-top and moving it, what the advantages / dis-advantages are...

i got back up there on the sunday so you wouldn't of found me, sorry

Re: someph-ing different...........

Advantage- Typically an 8kg weight saving
Dis-advantage- Can be prone to losing charge, cost, you'd be better off moving it in the car in a proper tray or making something pimp up in the bay to hold it.

If you're not fussed about weight fella, I wouldn't bother! Was good catching up aswell, lol.

Fred@BTM · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

Fabricated as a one off prototype the one on Neil's car = ££££

hopefully my production version, like your's will also be less expensive!

i have classed the car in its current spec as Stage 1 (which i consider complete), in stage 2 (when i have another car) the clio will be loosing weight rapidly so weight is something i may aswell think about now yes, thinking may be best under the passenger seat, more room for nothing in the engine bay then...lol

deffo good catching up dave, your a top bloke, good to know there are still some on here...lol

K-Tec Racing · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

I see, cheers

chrispy.clio · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

Does anybody sell a bracket where it can be mounted on the side of the engine?

Nafoff · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

the battery you mean? unsure

chrispy.clio · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

Sorry i meant the bracket for the coilpack

Fred@BTM · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

coilpack? yeah in a few weeks i'll have them available for sale

I'd invest then, weight saved and better distributed.

And you dude, we're in the elite I think, lo.

bomber · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

Oi ya feckers, I'm a nice guy too. Who else bought you a wind up music box on Sunday lol?

May as well take advantage of upgrading to a smaller battery, I'm going to smack one just behind the passenger seat, just to make it a bit easier to access should I ever need to. You can probget a deal on them anyway, but burp is sponsored by a battery firm nowand has a group buy going on another forum

Gray · Jan 19, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

I noticed one of the companies at autosport where selling the red top 25's considerabily cheaper than most places, can't remember the name though!

How much does jay (Burp) do them for?

Oh cool, well aslong as its not crazy money i may purchace one

geesus69 · Jan 20, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

car looks brilliant!

fred/neil - what are you doing about the engine mount fixings that are no longer utilised due to the ITB's?

i have tried purchasing these parts seperately (a bolt and tapered washer/spacer setup for one fixing and some sort of bracket that bolts to the block and lower cam cover on the other) but i cannot source them due to not buying an off the shelf kit

is there a solution you are planning? (i am willing to purchase these items immediately!)

i remember at FCS when Fred and Icarus were checking over ben_p's car that you noticed the crack in the engine mount and advised him to sort it out as it was causing excessive engine movement that would prob lead to cracking the lower cam cover, i dont want to cause the same problem

Fred@BTM · Jan 20, 2010

Re: someph-ing different...........

ben's was from another issue

you on about the bit where the 2 bolts go into the lower inlet (on a standard car)

never had a problem with it before, but i've got something in the pipeline
