Floyd, I took it off my car to put on Marks car for Silverstone, as i had stuffer springs and adjustable top mounts, which allowed us to get to 0.5 degree of negative camber.

Well, progress may be made tomorrow.

I now have my Dog box in my posession, thanks to Mark at Scoobyclinic for sorting it quickly, so if i can get away from the house tomorrow, i will be refitting it.

Also got new insulated fuel rails to install, and a few other bits and bobs.

Steven

Yup box in, cheers David, I will have to ask Andy for my original bit back

New fuel rails in

Few tweeks to do to exhaust system so the wastegate returns into the downpipe, so it will be quieter. Oil change to do, and then she is good to go!

Might go to elvington on 9th December

Andy, i think you may have it still attached to your box, but i may be wrong, cant find mine anywhere, its not a problem, will get another from somewhere.

Not taken any pictures tbh, just got on and done things, it was bloody cold in the barn this weekend

All finished, parts taken back off ready for wrapping or ceramic coating, cant decide just yet.

john, its the bracket at the top of the gearbox that the pitch stop mount bolts to.

Its the bolt that goes through the lower hole of this bracket, and then through the gearbox. ie bolts the bracket to the box.

What 4x4?

Daz, its not too bad TBH, full day, open pit lane, should be good.

The new rails came from Carl insulated, look very good. Apparently in testing he found that the rails absorbed a lot of heat, so setup the insulation mod on the rails.

Just going back to the fuel rails for a minute...

How are the rails insulated? Is there not a risk that if they do heatsoak the insulation with keep the heat in?

Its a rectangular block of insulation material that sits between the Inlet manifold and a CNC'd section of the rail, where the bolts go through. I didnt take any pics, but it made sense to me, just like header tank insualtion i guess.

Cant find the thread on here with details of them, but i was convinced they would work, time will tell i guess.

Fairly well at the moment, only running wastegate pressure (7psi) untill i can get Pat to check it out.

PPG Dog box now installed with my original diffs.
Altered up pipe and wastegate with wastegate now venting back into the downpipe, so its a damned sight quieter when its on boost.
New fuel rails from Carl Davey.

Thats it, really, oh! and oil change too.
