"Wow, My Willy Works" Dave.'s TDF'd ITB & Cammed 182

[Dave.]

Wow, looks perfect!

Very Nice Car

Thanks mate, yours is without a doubt my favourite car on here!

 

[Crippin]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Very nice.
How much more are you going to do before getting something different?

 

[ch!ppen]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Looks very nice that does pal. Lot's of carbon

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Love it dave, how do the carbon centre caps fit? They look like flat bits... maybe just the photo

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Except Danny!!

Was this little valve in the brake vacuum hose, the diaphragm in it had perished and it was completely blocked. Fitted a new one and the brakes are no amazing! They have never been so good!

Were your symptoms a really long, really rubbish, pedal feel that only really did anything near the bottom. And, even then, a pedal like wood?

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Just had a good read through this. It's great stuff and the car looks spot on. Really like it so far.

Yep that's the one! Try cleaning out the one way return valve, there's a guide I did in guides section.

Yep they are! I'm going to run a bead of sikaflex on the inside of the wheel centres and bond them in mate, sikaflex can always be peeled off.

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Not done much to the car this month, but off to Jam-Sport tomorrow to have a rear anti-roll bar fitted.

Also sold my carbon bonnet to nick on here in trade for a PH1 airbox which i fitted, and makes a nice noise! although the box looks like its seen a hard life lol

Im currently mulling over a couple of options at the moment re throttle bodies but cant make my bloody mind up!!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Shame you sold the bonnet, looked great.

I found that having the airbox you have comeing straight off the TB made it sound even betterr. Deffently the cheapest and best priced engine work to do i think. So i'd do that if i was you as it'll only cost you the cost of relocating your battery

 

[Dave.]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

ive looked at fitting a small varley red top or something similar in the boot to relocate it, but i wouldnt have a clue where to start to be honest!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

why the v6 airbox? Thought you were bringing on the trumpets? lol

 

[Dave.]

I will be, just fiddling really!! Was wondering if standard airbox was restricting it, I would say it was after driving it, plus sounds lovely!

Can't do the bodies until I've moved, but hopefully have them sorted in 4 to 6 weeks!

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Looks great mate, I really like this! .

 

[Dave.]

Little update for today....

I wen down to Jamsport today after they put an offer on the Whiteline rear anti roll bars. Went down this morning and had it fitted.

Wow! Should of fitted one of these ages ago, it's so bloody planted now, really does make a fantastic difference to the way the car handles heavy cornering!!

Also whilst at Jamsport I had them do a full alignment on the car, and sort out the ride height as I couldn't get it right!

In the end they balanced out the front and lowered the rear slighty more. Also had two degrees neg camber on the front. Have some rear camber shims that I may chuck on at some point this week too, but feels a bit better on turn in now too!

Looks better now

Oh standard bonnet is back and is staying now!

 

[Conlon]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

still love this! looks lovely with them wheels on!

I wouldnt mind one of them ARB's after i have had a go of mine without

 

[Cup_Phil]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Whiteline ARB is the best thing I've fitted to my 172 cup.. transforms the car

did you get around to fitting the center caps yet? I got some 2118's yesterday and seeing that rear cap through the middle of the wheel is already annoying me lol

 

[Dave.]

Not yet mate, I'm going to do it this week hopefully!

 

[Owen]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Very nice Dave, need to get an arb in my life me thinks. And some spacers/camber (but more for looks than anything.lol)

 

[Elfy]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Like the carbon fetish, i have this also its a weakness lol, interior is now all carboned up and have started on the exterior carbon now.

Very tidy i'm prob an hours drive away from you

 

[Dave.]

Yeah I'm thinking of putting 10mm spacers on all round just to fill the arches a little more

 

[treemanx]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Love this car! Would be interesting to compare graphs with an RS2 running similar power to see the differences in delivery.

 

[Dave.]

The difference is huge torque wise, the duration is much longer with the RS2 but peak is about the same

 

[z8jay]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Lovely.

Do 15's improve the handling much?

 

[Dave.]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

15's definatly improve the handling, and the amount of dosh in your wallet come new tyre time!

 

[Dave.]

Firstly a small update for the car...

Fitted some fan jet washers from a Citroen xsara as I knackered the standard ones fannying around with the carbon bonnet! They work brilliantly in comparison.

 

[Dave.]

And a big one for me!!

Finally moved!!

Car looks right at home!

Now that's out the way I will have a big car update coming, a few at the karting meet will know what I mean!!

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Where are you getting the ITB's from/fitted Dave?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

I know where he should be getting them from.

 

[Dave.]

Where are you getting the ITB's from/fitted Dave?

I'm not, I'm getting a mini Roy castle on the parcel shelf....

 

[Dave.]

I know where he should be getting them from.

 

[SOHROB]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Tastefully modded car, what profile tyres are you running? They look a little low for the size of the wheel but it could just be the angle of the pic.

 

[Dave.]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

there 45's mate

 

[Max46]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

great news on the itb's mate.

just to let you know got the 4 pots off ill pm you if i wanna get rid.

 

[Owen]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Ah, le trumpets? What's the info Dave. Who/what/when etc

Edited to add: house looks frikkin sweet mate!

 

[Dave.]

Cheers guys, Gow did you say they wouldn't fit behind my wheels??

Owen I'm 95% set on TDF depending on dates etc and ASAP!!

Only prob I have is getting back from TDF when dropping car off and matt prefers to have it for 4-5 days to make sure it's perfect when finished. The problem I have is it's my daily driver, and I need to drive to work and back. Oh and then get back to pick it up lol

House is ace cheers mate, a lot of scrimping and saving but were there now, I promised I'd keep the car for another year to the Mrs today so ITB's are the way forward.

But gutted I missed russ's supercharger kit though!

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

95%? Should be 100 and no less!!

I wouldn't beat yourself up about missing the charger kit, you won't be when you get your car back anyway

 

[Dave.]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

100%??

I am now!! TDF FTW!

Its booked in for the week 21st Feb onwards and im not having the stanard kit fitted. Matt's looked in to revised trumpet lengths for my car due to the cams as it will make a marginal difference in torque and bhp. So im having the original fan replaced with a slimline spal fan to allow room for the extra trumpet length.

Cant wait

 

[Gray]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Bring on le' Trumpets...

You will not be disappointed.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Re: Dave.'s Cammed, 2118'd Carbon obsession

Sounds good!
