I keep meaning to upgrade my now aged Walbro 255 to the RCM jobbie.

Is yours the 340lph version?

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Yeah, it's probably overkill for what power I'm gonna run but I don't think they do a smaller size.

cookstar

Bonnet, doors and front wings almost complete. Note the front wings have also been prepped and painted on the inside, hopfully this will aid in keeping rot away for many years.

As Punch would say: That's the way to do it.

Very expensive but worthwhile, brand new OE clips for room trims.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Doors, bonnet, wings and trim back on

You must be getting 'excited' now - now that you see it coming together.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Yes mate, there's not really much more to do. Really need to get under bonnet sorted as it's terrible.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Little addition for when it's out, as old one is a bit rough.

You ***
What a waste as you'll be putting a 6 speed in there soon......you just watch

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Nope, even though I've now got a spare set up. It's staying just as it is.


Unless a spec c one pops up.

You've got a spare 6 speed set up?

I believe teg sport sell spec c gear kits separately.... just drop one in your casing 😉

bustaMOVEs

iTrader: (31)

Haha, see you're already thinking.
Why, do you want shorter 5th and 6th gears?

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

I've bought a Hawk STI set up for my green car, so my JDM 6 speed set up is kinda spare at the moment.

If I do ever go 6 speed, it will have to be short ratios and DCCD.

bustaMOVEs

iTrader: (31)

Ah I see, you want Dccd otherwise your jdm box is no different.
Yes Dccd needs to be kept in a Dccd equipped car otherwise it's not a type r then

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Exactly my thinking, slight mods/improvements but in keeping with Type R ethos.

Can't see me needing all that extra weight of a six speed anyway, I really don't plan on exceeding 330 with this car.

bustaMOVEs

iTrader: (31)

I thought that about the weight, but on a positive note, it actually gives a better center of gravity on a already lightish car, seems to stabilise it some what.
So just think of it that way when it's skipping all the time

Only a small update, but it all adds up. Undervent trays

what have you done with the bolts? replaced with new or refurbed the old ones? in the process of doing pretty much the same thing as you !

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Some bolts have replaced others have been refurbished.

All bolts under bonnet are going to be replaced when I've got it back home..

First few of my Samco hoses have arrived, special order dark grey ones. (Have taken about 6 weeks) starting to collect some nice bits for stage 2 of this project - under bonnet

So turbo inlet, and top and bottom rad hoses

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

And this...

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Most boring update ever, but more random clips and trims have arrived.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

New trims for side skirts have arrived, the ones on it weren't 100%





Repainted horns and rad brackets fitted







And new clips fitted to grill, we're not doing cable ties on this one

Loving this.

Enter a Concours when finished.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

Finished is a loooong way off, stage 2 is under bonnet then the whole underside of the car.

cookstar

iTrader: (6)

The front of the car started to go together today. I decided after much thought to update the headlights with crystal items
