Another update.....
I have been offered the opportunity to test a set of NEW bushes from Polybush




Here is some information from Polybush

We set out with a clean sheet of paper when designing the kit - and, because there are already a number of polybush kits available for the car, our first decision was to go for a no-compromise design which would perform better than anything else out there, rubber or polyurethane.

This meant we had to go for bonded construction for most of the bushes. these fit in the same way as the original bushes, and ensure that suspension movement is controlled purely by the flex in the material, rather than by a combination of flex and slippage between the poly around it's centre tube, which leads to inconsistent control - for instance if water gets between the two, besides causing corrosion and wear, the response of the bush will be significantly altered as water acts as a lubricant.

The Polyurethane we use has relatively high resilience - this means it keeps it's shape well - again ensuring that suspension settings remain constant over a period of time, and also maintaining alignment angles under high loadings.

All these things mean the car is more predictable and rewarding to drive, even using manufacturer standard ride heights and suspension settings. Racing brings out the best in the bushes of course, but they are pretty useful on road as well.


I know they have had very good feedback from Evo drivers and i will report my finding on the Scoob. Fingers crossed these should be fitted for the first round at Donnington.

 

 

Mike - you realise the stickers arent in the prescribed places ?

 

there close enough.... i hope....
couldn't get them all where required!

 

Have just re-read the e-mail from Rob, may be best to send him a pic of the side of the car, to confirm OK? (Blitz?)

 

I am sure (and hope) there is some leeway but probably wise to check.

 

already done..
Gobstoper didn't stick to the rules last year!!!

 

Indeed, as Mike's car is not the only one that isn't exactly to the official logo placement is it?

 

Indeed but mine are a 'little' closer

 

They are fine!!!

 

 

 

Only a few days to go, and the last few details are nearly done, though due to the late delivery of some parts, there will be some carry over to prep for Knockhill.

Mocom have fitted the fuel swirl pot and pump, Hmmm Lovely


And the carbon firewall has gone in



(Sorry about pic sizes, can't seem to re-size them?)

 

Loving the swirl pot arrangement - nice work Zak

Ar you all set now?

 

Thanks Neil, you've done a lovely job!!!


Hmmm... almost....
Front & Rear ARB changed.....
Swirl pot fitted
ECU changed
Road map done
Rear firewall almost finished 99%
Rear boot pins fitted

Turbo blanket to be done
Race map to be done
Polyushes to be fitted (awaiting delivery)

Not much really...

 

coming along nicely....am soo looking forward to seeing you hurtling round the track on sunday mike

 

Hopefully you will be very quick, if you beat me then it just raises the bar for Knockhill We will have our own battle irrespective of how many pro cars are in the club challenge

 

swirl pot setup is super sexy.

 

Swirl pot looks nice Mike...

I think id rather the bill for the pot than the AN fittings ha ha.

The carbon Firewall has cleaned up the interior no end

 

The swirl pot looks super cool... so impressed by that....

Yeah the interior needs a little work now.... some whit paint over the OEM primer is a must and then start tidying and removing more trim, noise deadening, etc.

 

Looks cool, but my hands are still itchy now from the cutting it in yesterday!

 

Looking good Guys

Also so looking forward to Sunday

All the best

 

Have to say, been there got the t-shirt.

Youve got at least another week of itching yet Neil
