Looks a master piece mate, it's as good if not better than anything you'll see built out of sheer procrastinated enthusiasm Can't wait to see it top down with fuel lines attached

 

Come by and have a proper look sometime Stu. Wont be long now. All the bits are in motion now and providing things like the rotated setup fit as expected then things should be hopefully quite straight forward from here.

Still plenty of man hours left but the motor is basically finished.

 

You about tomorrow morning ? going to get some tyres pushed on at ST's

 

Lol, nope, working from 7am all this week mate.

You need to come see me at a crazy hour else im never home haha. Normally found working in teh garage till about 3 am

 

Pmsl nutter !

 

You've changed.

 

Im away in Austria snowboarding next week so will put the motor in on my first free day when i return. In the meantime i got a nice little delivery from the guys at Forge Motorsport. Had them make me a custom fuel swirl pot and bracket.

Build quality is very nice, and will be powdercoated satin black to match once complete

 

Glad to hear you're not a skier! Going anywhere nice?

 

Skier!!! Pfft, those are the wannabe boarders that arnt any good at boarding? lol

Im off to Mayrhofen in Austria mate. Its my favourite place in Europe to board. Bigtime party town at night too

 

kiting, jet skiing, snowboarding, track racing - this guys a total adrenalin junkie!!!!


I was just about to say Mayrhofen, its the best

 

Mayrhofen is epic mate. Has everything, Harikiri, which is the steepest run in all of Austria, Hintertux glacier, the Vans sponsored snowpark with halfpipe, a nightclub igloo called the White Lounge and probably the best party atmosphere of any ski resort I've ever been.

I can't wait mate,

 

Snowbombing?

Been down the Harikari as well

 

Made some progress today

 

Awesome

 

Getting there Si. I modified the slave cylinder without too much fuss.

Needs bleeding now though. Next up is checking fitment of the rotated downpipe. Once im happy with thet then i can either be wrapped or go for coating. The rest of the stuff is all pretty straight forward.

I hope you can cut me a killer deal on a Syvecs at the end of this lol

 

that must feel good Not far to go now...

 

Coming together nicely matey

 

Cheers guys,

Although we've hit problems once more. T-Logic downpipe doesnt fit at all. I spent a few hours of head scratching. Not its bee cut into 4 sections and will have to be rebuilt almost from scratch on the car.

Bugger!

 

Couple of these and some gun gum you'll be sorted

Tip top Neil

 

More stuff arriving all the time... my postman must be getting pissed off with me by now. This was todays little bundle



Oil cooler bolted up now with a slightly revised duct to aid ease of fitment. Just gotta plumb this up now

 

looking good as ever Frayz

got my new centre section from Matt at Simpson
got me down by about 7db
thanks for your recommendation
Matt said to say hi

 

Ah thats great Pete, Matt does awesome work down there. Yeah not too much longer for me now mate. Just the last bits and pieces coming together now

 

That seems a lot, every 3 decibels is a doubling/halving of sound levels. 7dB would be a noticeable difference.

 

it is a lot Chris
jackies car is louder than mine now

 

Mine is quoted than it was when stock

 

crappy spellchecker
As Frayz said, the guys at Simpson do know their stuff
They made me a centre section with box that sleeve joints into my existing system, no loss of power (still to be proved)
I even survived a track day at Bedford with an 87db limit on drive by

 

Lol, quieter haha

 

Welcome to the iPhone 4 and it's awesome predictive texting capabilities!

 

I did warn him LOL
