T26 WRC - Frayz Engineering WRC S8 TARMAC SPECIAL - aka THE BOMBER
#1621
Just stopped by the powdercoaters on the way home to collect some of my parts. There is alot more that were still too hot to take home, so i'll collect them when i can.
Im delighted with the finish on these, i couldnt help but unwrap some parts to take some photos to show you guys.
Here you can see the cam covers in complete matte finish, the gloss finish on the x-over and the machine silver on the alternator.
All parts are one of these 3 colours.
The quality of finish really is nice, im quite pleased

I hope its POWER coating
lol
I had it done at my local guy just a mileor so away. His name is Jay and runs H&S powdercoating here in Essex.
Very nice guy who has taken a genuine interest in my project and nothing seems to be too much trouble.
Give him a call if you need anything. Tell him Frayz sent you and he is very very well priced.

Okay guys, heres tonights work.
Itching to see the new look i fitted the x-over pipe and the water temp sender, im liking the gloss blck on the new block.
I got the final 2 buckets reground to spec so they got dropped in and the final clearances re checked. All good. So then the relevant cam caps were sealed up and all torqued to spec. Cam seals went in.
Valve clearances checked one last time before the covers went on.
Covers went on with all new gaskets and seals inside and out. These were all sealed up and torqued to spec.
Once ive colected the rest of the parts from the powdercoaters which include the water pipes we can progress some more.
Its all looking rather good now i must say.

Got sent a few teaser pics from Neil @ T-Logic of the rotated kit mid build.
Uppipe is Inconell and modified from my GT spec one. The rest of the kit is in stainless. Hopefully i'll collect this tomorrow night and post some better pics.
Im sure you'll agree it looks rather nice. Im getting quite excited now

Just back from Neil @ T-logic, like a kid in a sweet shop i couldnt wait to take some pics of this little setup.
Delighted isnt the word, the quality of his work is exceptional.
V-band inconel uppipe and 321 stainless downpipe. I think i'll let the pics do the talking.
This little lot is all hand made by Neil and puts the RCM item in the shaddows and at a better price!

Pete, im getting so excited seeing it all come together now.
All of you guys have helped push me on. It awesome to see my visions of how i want the car to be becoming reality.
Neils work is awesome, its all so beautifully finished and mega light too. Id recomend him to anyone

Ian, gotta love a smiley
Cheers mate
I see your mock setup last night Steven. I think you may need to rethink the single gate and might need to go to twin gates?
With the quality that Neil offers and more affordable than the RCM offering its got to be more tempting to go rotated now.
Apart from the price it exceeds the performance of standard location turbos in pretty much all areas.

Not much to update this at the moment. Im waiting to get my sump back as thats been away being baffled. Also waiting on my modified AVCS line and other parts to be zinc coated. Once these are on i can go ahead and fit up all the timing assembly.
Also wonding if i should bother buying the Cosworth/RCM anti skip belt guide or not?
£40 for jewellery or function?
In the meantime ive fitted up some of the water, breather lines and reassembled the alternator and PAS pump. Both look rather nice all powdercoated up
