600 corner

 

I think I know you too well Kev.. lol

You were only suppose to up it 8% IF it didn;t make full boost on the RR.. and return it to 58% afterwards.. lol

I know there was a difference between your boost gauge and the ecu and the AVCR..
I'll try and remember to bring my boost gauge for another reference.. and check the pipework.
It could be the dreaded samco silicon boost hose which I think you are using.. it tends to baloon at high boost.

You git That looks really good for a diy effort and makes mine look a bit naff

I need to repair mine after the mishap but it doesn't quite fit the opening like the original. I did modify my original scoop and raised it by 10mm without cutting. It made bu66er all difference as far as I could tell anyway. Your scoop should work well though.

Bob Rawl was interested in seeing my temps change with the STI8 TMIC and STI7 scoop. After sitting for a while they rose to 40-43C but once on the move they dropped rapidly 10C within a few hundred yards and then back to 20Cish ambient wthin a mile or so. I was very surprised to see how effecting the set up was and it was much much better than the original system even with all my shielding and other tweeks. I didn't even consider using waterspray as it was so good. I was considering making another TMIC hot side shield but it hardly seems worth it or the splitter!

The true test will be flat out on track in the height of summer though...

Kev, that scoop looks fecking ace.

 

Nice one Kev.

Just a bit worried about how much flex you're gonna get with that bonnet now?

 

it'll be fine Dave

might look ok now, just wait till the filler starts to crack

 

new car turned up yesterday, it's German, full leather, turbo charged, 6 speed paddle shift sequential gearbox, rear wheel drive






























































































































what were you thinking it was?


front end doesn't look quite so good at the moment though

 

Thats excellent Kev, and very insperational!!!

 

Z Cars have almost finished their bike engine subframe/trans/suspension for the Smart.
Andy F has a turbocharged Megasomething under his bench too....

Mate of mine is building one for hill climbing.

 

don't think i'll be messing about putting bike engines in this one Graham more of a recce for later...

jobs to do before shootout: bonnet undertray, water spray, shift light & oil change

 

Kev, there's an auto waterspray controller system in the SN shop for about £38!

F

 

might just stick with the standard setup for this weekend, tempting though

 

Well haven't we been busy Anyone else and this project would have taken a few months, but cos it's you it's taken well over a year

Nice one fella, seeya at NBO camping and I still reckon i'll whoop your *** in the twisties

Gonna take more than a fancy number plate and dodgy wheels to beat me

 

i could probably still beat you in the smart

 

Good job on the scoop

 

Now, now gentlemen.
The bull **** stops when the flag drops...good old hill climb phrase.

Good luck to you all, I'll be thinking of you all on Saturday, hope it stays dry.

Graham

 

i hope you'll be thinking of us on Sunday too when the shootout is actually on Graham

 

started work on the underscoop thingy last night, made the template up in cardboard, just need to work out how to stop the air escaping down the sides etc.

 

Flat!

The hill climbs are weekend meets.
Sat is practice and full of 'joviality' (BS), Sunday is racing so focused...

Sunday is 'May the Best Man (and car) win.'

Wish i could pop up and observe and learn some tricks...

Good luck all,
Graham.

 

I guess you could try and use the old rubber bits from the OE undertray or put sticky foam around the i/c Graham style.

I havent got around to doing an undertray yet and find the foam is fine (when I can get it to stay on).

Bob

 

I made a template out of cardboard too. I didn't think to let you borrow it Kev

F

 

no worries, my IC is probably in a completely different place anyway template's the easy bit, it's the cutting the ally that's the tedious bit

 

I used a variable speed jig saw with an ali blade. If you cut slow enough then the blade doesn't clog and its easy, if time consuming. But you probably know this already

F

 

well my weekend went well then

 

clutch goes on saturday afternoon, typical! um and ar about chancing it at shootout and decide i'll change it saturday night, finish at 2am, get up at 6am to finish a few things off, drive around the block, everything feels good, drive off to shootout and get about 5 miles from home and the engine dies knew something would go wrong, knew it reckon the FSE has given up the ghost, so it's up at Scoobyclinic waiting for to be looked at (can't do much here without trying a new reg on it, which i haven't got) total cost this weekend, probably 400 odd quid there will be better weekends to come

 

Sorry to see/hear this Flat.
I did actually drive past you parked-up on the A38, but you already had a Type R assisting you.
Not to rub it in, but is was a very good event (my first Scooby event) and I hope to formaly enter it next year.

Good luck with it all, I can really understand the effort you put in last night!

Graham.

 

Ahh! It was you with Mikee, sorry, hello
