ground clearance?? where?? cannot see any

 

good job its got armour plating on that bit although to be fair on my little drive out last night i only heard the faintest of scrapes after taking it on the bumpiest roads i could find, and then that was a notorious bump in the road

<stiffens rear shocks up 2 clicks >

 

That will do it

 

fingers crossed

 

What does it sound like?

*****

 

a Subaru nothing out of the ordinary TBH, has more of a rasp to it on WOT, that might have something to do with the cats in the backbox and the fact that it's 2.5" still has a nice deep sound to it on tick over

definetely an improvement over the last system which was 3" just goes to show size isn't everything

 

just placing this image here for my reference



note how the exhaust goes to the right of the rear diff, not under it like mine lol

 

bit big!

 

Kev, don't bring that round here, you'll kill you exhaust. You got any plans to move it??

 

Kev,

these pictures may help.....


Looks like you may have to cut your rear bumper and invest in some bacofoil


I wasn't the only one looking on the underside.....


Keep up the good work!

 

Thank god that functionality is more important that aesthetics!

Not the prettiest blighter is it?

 

form follows function as they say



cheers dave, i have the exact same pictures somewhere on another hard drive

 

well i've managed to gain about another 20mm ground clearance today and got the back box sitting level there's no way i can get it sitting in the same position as on the wrc car because of the rear diff mounting on mine just isn't allowing it, but i'm pretty happy with it now, should have some new pics tomorrow

 

anyone know what the sensor in the backbox is likely to be? pretty sure it's EGT which i might wire up soon

 

well it didn't fall off or ground out anywhere today, result!

 

nice and level now





ground clearance is better too

 

looks hard as ****!

you painted the box white?

 

Look at all that stock suspension!
Still looks to be minimal road clearance to me...
Interesting 'conversion', and those flaps are growing on me!

Hope the diffs not to hot.

 

meant to be white, it's the ceramic coating, i've just cleaned it up a bit since last week

yep, suspension is all stock apart from the Ohlins

Diff will be fine, it's got Darchem engineering heatshielding, if it's good enough for F1 and WRC...



next job is the brakes, just need to do some more measuring for the adaptor plates, a few weeks away yet i would of thought

 

exaust is very Quiet inside car (must be ceramic coating) but sounded very nice from outside when you pulled away.

speed bumps don't seem to be a major problem so far



no major plans over christmas, got my motorbike to finish off and my Ka needs readying for sale (proceeds go towards remap ) but you never know, might get the brake caliper brackets made up

 

Good Luck with your projects Kev

Merry Christmas!

 

belated merry christmas dave








oh, i've done **** all over christmas so far

 

So when do us locals get a new look at this beast then? You've still got the black wheels on I see.

 

just been finishing off my motorbike the last few days, then got a few other cars to look at first end of feb might see some major developments

 

^^^ bollox to that, we're off again, just sorting some parts out need to dig my phase 1.5 manifold out for instance

 

had the brakes off this weekend for some final measuring for the adaptor brackets, it's going to be a bit of a close fit also managed to grind the calipers out to accept the wider discs

then i went for a 120 mile drive in the peaks

 

Ah! the romance of it all!

Nice pic. Is that exhaust still ok?

yep, it only ground out once yesterday and that was a particularly bad section of road those headlights i've got are completely **** though didn't help with all the crap on the protectors and one main beam not working
