Scaffold fitting ? PMSL

Spoken like a true tradesperson.

I thought it was the condenser for a still.

Rustle up a drop of the ole Dengie moonshine.

PMSL @ you two...

Silly old sods, i dunno

 

Well im just in guys.

Finally finished the runners today, i got the seat properly bolted in tonight.

Im absolutely stoked with the results. The runners fitted perfectly, opperated perfectly. The driving position is perfect, everything is absolutely bang on. Im so chuffed with the results. Especially after it had been such a frustrating task to get it to fit the way i wanted it to.

The view from outside the car looks mental, the car looks like a propper tool now and really makes the interior look focused. Ive set the seat approx 1" lower than stock and the height is perfect for me, pedals are good and steering wheel is just right too.

I went out for a quick drive just to see how it feels... all i can say is amazing. I mean it when i say you literally do not move at all once in it. The car feels so much more alive and you can feel so much more through the chassis.

The view is what really bothered me when i first purchased the seat. But im really happy to say that i have lost almost now field of vision i previously had, mirrrors, blindspots and b pillars are all in view when required.

Heres a few snaps taken on my fone of the mounts i made. Theyre fully reinforced modified OEM mounts.. i hope i have made it look as factory as possible.

Once again, sorry for the naff pics.

 

Well done!
Knew you could do it- will check it out for myself at the weekend!

 

Looks perfect

Would not expect anything else from you

Sorry i missed you , Tubbing it

 

Cheers dude, comments like that mean alot

We'll catch up on Thursday night

 

Thought some of you guys might like to see this.

This is to mount my new battery and the resulting saved space will be replaced with a new additional secondary oil catch tank.

The clamp is made from Macralon, please ignore the stumpy studs. Theyre just there for a measure up

 

Very nice Frayz.... all looks very good!
I'm still thinking about one of these race batteries for mine, just to help even further with the weight saving!

 

Looks lovely Frayz.

Don't suppose you could make a second one, as I know someone how needs a light weight battery

 

Could possibly make something mate but its just having the time.

I tend to fit bits in as and when ya know. Ive a million people asking me to make stuff and i cant commit because i just dont like letting people down.

I could give you the dimensions to knock one up yourselves.

 

Looking good mate

 

Now yes i do like that

 

Someone paid attention in 1st year hardware class. IIRC we made rude key fobs out of that stuff.

Looks really good Frayz, coming on nicely

 

LOL cheeky sod...

Nevermind i spent 4 years doing a Ford engineering apprenticship lol..

Must of been that 1st year hardware class

 

 

oh the days, rewelding the bandsaw blades in Thameside !!!! - like yesterday

Good work Frayz Looks like your enjoying it all again!!! keep it up!!

 

Yep i thought this the other day , We have our old Frayz back

 

Certainly hope it stays that way

 

Purchased a couple of bits to add to the build this week.

Firstly are a set of GT Spec Gen 2 stainless tubular headers. These have been ceramic coated by Zircotec, the same people that will be doing my downpipe.

The 2nd item is a 70mm APS wing mounted intake kit. Yes i already have a custom 80mm intake. However this is too large to fit in my wing when the APS front mounted intercooler goes on. I didnt want to run the filter in the engine bay due to excess heat that i didnt want drawn in.

So this was my only option.

Spending today (thursday) at Mocom to have afiddle with a few parts and should hopefully come home with a few extra horses under the bonnet... just to keep me amused whilst the rest of the 2.5 parts come together.

Its been a long time coming but its moving forward again, and i can finally see a light at the end of a big bhp tunnel

 

Hi Frayz,

Are they the GT spec headers you were sorting on the group buy? I would have got in on the act but just havn't the extra cash to spend with everything else going on at the moment.

Any idea when the 2.5 is going in?

Just want to add that I think yor interior is fapping brilliant! The seat looks top quality (should keep you in place round the ring), and the flocked, defi dash is a bit of an inspiration to get some gauges in!

Well im finally home after 2 days..

Lets just say im now totally in love with the Methanol/Toulene mix im running now.

1.6 bar for an FP green with meth is rather interesting

Once again cheers Zak for everything, the map on the car is now somewhat lairy ha ha. Thanks for making me happy with the car again

 

Ermmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Understatement or what !!

**** me that thing is quick now , Awesome sounds as well

Thanks for the ride , Still feel sick !!

 

Quick-er guv, still plenty more to come

The sound is really giving me the horn at the mo, GT Spec headers are the way forward.

Glad you liked it, you need to drive it for yourself without anyone else in the car. It feels even better

 

What % fuel/meth/toluene mix are you using Frayz?

90%/5%/5%

 

80% Vpower
10% Methanol
10% Toluene

Im really pleased, the car runs so sweet on that mix

 

Did you try just methanol to start with or straight onto toluene & meth?

Just woundered if you could comment on the difference?

 

I have run meth before on my 20g but only as a safety net when at the Nurburgring. Ive gone straight to toluene/meth mix on the FP Green.

I have no idea what numbers its putting down, nor do i care. But with a 1.7bar spike and 1.6 bar held with funny fuel...

Its either gonna kill me or get me locked up... its ferociously quick on the road now. And the best bit is, theres more to come when my built 2.5 goes in

 

nice to meet you the other day down mocom mate your car is just to nice and it sounds the buissness. i love the sound of my gt spec 2 headers as well and recommend them to all as well .would love to get a ride in your car some time just to see how much diffrence the meth mix makes.as i have a drum off it down the yard but do not know if i can be bothered to keep sticking it in on each fill up. but im sure it will happen soon

 

excuse the ignorance here

how do you measure what you put in?

i.e. do you have to work on full tanks and top up

or do you run empty and then add premixed fuel

 

Also need to be vey careful when handling Toluene as it is, I believe, carcinogenic.
