dunx

 

looks like ur turning into a bit of a ledgend with this thread buddy, keep it coming

 

loads to come yet

 

Nothing major to report, visit to machine mart and came home with this heavy duty engine stand - wish i just got the smaller one now lol. can you spot the ghetto fixing?




Been doing a tad more painting


And shaved another 6kg off with a new battery




it goes on..

 

Harness bars = nightmare. fitted a new exhaust to the 318 ready for mot and sale but a few bits came this week.

Ghetto ebay mod up first, from autobahn clearance dept. £35 bargain


It also needed a vacuum... so along came..


Whats this for i hear you say?


well...its for this...


Always wanted a cold air intake for my impreza however us classic guys have no choice to my understanding for this when running a fmic unless you DIY. so in true rudeboy style, with a bit of inspiration from Daone with his filter in the inner wing...

welllll its still early days yet


Gotta figure out how to bend 3' alu pipe yet

then Andy's been working on this for his...


I now want a kit car with a turbo zoomeroid lump in..turbobusa

 

header tank looks good...we will have to get together for a looky likey photo shoot

is that a half cage under construction?

 

Steven I had the exact opposite advice from Andy F who had issues with the metal ones clogging very quickly and causing fueling supply issues, Andy advised me to stick with the paper ones in my sytec

 

good holiday trails? yea we should, one day lol! tis a half cage yes

Arch - cat amongst the pigeons

 

Car is looking really good sorry meant to say that in the above post.
The only reason I mentioned it is because I asked Andy the question a few weeks back as I have always used the paper filters without any issues, but I have a metal filter that I was going to use and Andy explained that he had seen problems with them before but not with the paper ones. It may have been a one off but I wasnt prepared to take the chance so replaced the filter with a new paper one.

 

thats what i mean, iv now heard the opposite of what i was advised - eek

 

Won't matter if you have a pressure gauge fitted, as any reduction in flow will cause the supply pressure to drop....

IMHO

dunx

P.S. Time I checked mine !

 

yeah cheers, although i'm stuck in suvarnabhumi aiport killing time at the moment

look forward to seeing how yo get on with the half cage...is it going to be fixed or removeable?

 

dunx, poifect. iv got a pressure gauge for fueling to keep an eye on things.

trails - cage isnt mine mate its andyh's, gonna be removable i think..its a pain gettin it in and weve not even got the rear bars on yet haha! theyre gonna go to the rear struts overhead so still allowing passengers...in theory. If i go caged il be having a cusco bolt in with a custom harness bar on but i dont wana add anymore weight yet.

 

Arch, i changed virtually every element of my fuel system in 2007 when we had lean running issues, only thing i didnt change was the fuel lines (-6 braided lines throughout). Last thing to change was the paper filters, and it cured the problem there and then.

Never had an issue there after, except for the odd occasion on the dyno of fuel pressure dropping, which was down to several runs on the dyno whilst on empty, and the fuel swirl pot being very hot to touch. So heat was the problem, as the next day on track, FP was spot on!

Steven

 

will try get down next week Steven and have a look at them fuel filters you have, but the bm needs an MOT first so il have to sort that inbetween everything else, im just flat out at the mo

 

It may have been a one off that Andy experienced but he did say that he had issues with the metal filter blocking and that he uses the paper elements Never had an issue with the paper ones so far but I do change them often and I am not flowing anything like the fuel you guys are but I would like to as soon as possible Think its definately one of those scenarios where one mans sugar is another mans sh**e so to speak

 

No problems Jon, no panic from my side.

Arch, you are probably right.

 

Carefeully executed brain transplant. Simtec board from forester casing into impreza casing and a good fookin tidy up yesterday.



Im now hunting fixings to put everything back together. Coupla new styling parts on order to update later this week end is neigh...how many times have i said that!

 

sweet mate, c youve ordered that carbon lid gonna do the same mi self and thinking about going spoilerless

 

yea not sure what im gonna do with that yet

carbon boot + no spoiler / keep other handy
carbon boot + silver spoiler
carbon boot + carbon spoiler

or get some funky painting done with loads of laquer in so you can still see the carbon weave...hmm!

 

Here it is,

 

you'll need a carbon bonnet too...................

 

they weigh more then my alloy one i heard beef.

 

yeah, think so, but would only be there to match the bootlid!!!

 

i arnt sure if its going on rite away anyhoo, lets get the bugger running first

 

very nice, i like the boot lid...can I be rude and ask how much and where it was from?

new mirrors too?

 

Mirrors came an age ago mate, from haroon on here...drivers sides been modded to fit, others in the process but they need to come off before bodyshop anyway.

boot from Japspeed, £300 all in tip top service as always from them guys. came in like 20 hours of me phoning up

 

After doing nothing but getting the harness bars GB going for a long time iv got something to do! Heres a sneak peak of a job for the weekend. Autojumble in the morning for some fixings to finish fuel rails...lol

much bettterrrr




need it running asap!
