Oh and nice pic of Sy, weight loss program going well I see

 

I know it's not related to P2 but here is the dyno videa of my P1 Dyno run.




YouTube - Skullfudge 1st Dyno run

 

Jay the Hankooks I was am running are the Evo V12's

 

I told you they were good tyres. I swear by Hankooks I really do.

 

Collected a donor engine last week.

This is a complete STI version 4 unit and was purchased primarily because of the heads but it will also be useful for things like, throttle body, inlet manifold, wiring loom, cam belt covers etc. It was a bargain at £450 and will save time effort and money as I wont have to source all the little parts seperately.





I've also had the Exedy Twin Plate out of the box today and had a closer look at it.
Wonderful piece of kit.

Here it is all stripped down with picures of each component.

 

very nice

 

Coming together well there

That Exedy looks like a work of art

 

Amazing! Love this car

 

P2 is in a quiet spell at the moment.

EJ22 Block is being machined for the 79mm crank at Roger Clark Motorsport.

Doner engine is being stripped and shell works are to commence.


First on the shell is the rear floor section to be cut out and diffuser work.
The existing rear floor section will be cut out and a new raised floor from the fire wall will be made.
A new 28-30 Ltr fuel tanks will be positioned on new floor together with pumps/ fuel lines / swirl pot etc. (Tank yet to be decided).

Next will be painting of the engine bay and inside of shell.

Opted for the bolt on arches and a P1 style front bumper.
Rear bumper will be staying as most of it will be cut out.

Double skinned side seals will remain. Certain areas will need grinding and filling to achieve a good finish for paint.

May require new bonnet but with new 22B style vent covers and reversed main scoop will be fixed.
The work involved in removing the light pod bolts and prepping for paint may prove more cost effective to source another bonnet (awaiting quote).



Still unsure on dash design.

 

If you need a custom alloy fuel tank i have a mate that can make them to any size spec shape you like and he wont rip you off his work is stunning pm me if you want details also swirl pots catch tanks etc

good luck with this project

 

Mark has some bonnets identical to the one on the Banana.

 

Thanks for that Steve

 

Damn..... just had a call to see if I would be interested in taking the P1 around the Dunsford Top Gear test track on 9th May but am booked for the P1 10th Anniversary at Prodrive.

I'm "Itchin for some Bitchin" around that track to see what time I could achieve.

One day.........

 

thats one thing i can say i've done, had some driving lessons there when i was 16 and got my chance in the end in a 1.8 diesel 205, was never going to be the quickest. by the way its dunsfold as well mate, if you ever do get the chance again mate, put another shout out as i'd love to see what your car could do round there.

 

Will do Belliot.

The guy that phoned me said he would contact me when they have another day at Dunsfold so when he rings I will put it up in this thread.

I'm getting the grips of the thing now and would love to spend a day there to see what times I could achieve. I have only done a few track events in the P1 but the way it catches everything else up is telling me it's quick.

 

Daz, what size head studs 14mm?

Anders

 

Yes,

Funnily enough I've just bought some for mine.





Here they are next to my old ARP studs:

 

What a difference

Do RCMS supply modified head gaskets to accomodate 14mm studs?

Anders

 

No but they will do for you what they did for me.

I'm using the Cosworth Gaskets and RCM reamed out the holes with a reaming tool.
It's costs an hours labour but you know it will be done right.

I've heard of several people trying to save the labour charge and **** the job up and having to buy a new gasket.

 

Mad Hammer is this your most recent vid at the Pod ?

YouTube - MAD Hammer - Winter testing with no grip 2. Subaru Impreza STI 622 bhp

 

And smoked the Skyline

 

Good Ol' Clive.

I noticed that Pete, looked like the Skyline had LC and a better start than Clive yet he still managed a win......Good Boy !

 

Yep, grip issues to say the least last weekend after they melted the ice off the track ! Thought the Skyline was going to be quick, he had 3 or 4 people there doing god knows what checks etc before the run, sat next to him waiting for a while before we ran, could here his triple plate rattling away and the engine sounded special just on tick over.

I had my best terminals ever at the Pod 134 & 135 with 2.1 60ft's ! I reckon there is a 10.1/10.2 there now for sure.

 

A couple of pix of the shell at work as a rally car built for tarmac stages.



















Talking with SPR Coachworks today and the shell work will be commencing late part of next week.

 

Sounds the best option, head gaskets are too expenise to mess about with.

 

Bought a new alley bonnet today as the work involved in putting the other one right would have virtually been the same dollar. Ordered reverse scoop too.

Ordering 22B front bumper tomorrow together with bolt on arches.

Pics & info regarding the work carried out on the shell will be up very soon.

 

Sorry about the lack of info but we are just in a bit of a dead zone at mo.

Collect the alley bonnet this week and the reverse scoop from RCM has now also arrived. Will need to drive up to collect as damage is often the story when delivered.
Block work is well under way and should be ready soon.
This thread will be kicking some *** shortly


Meanwhile:


Getting ready & looking forward to my first 30 - 130 event at Marham. Will be going up with SleeperSy who is now running monster power in his beast and meeting many friends up there.
Window trims taped, and my bonnet scoop is missing a fixing so I will need to replace & check them.
I will be happy achieving 160mph (given the distance and stopping distance).
All my runs will be filmed from in car so hopefully will have some good footage (HD) of the day.

Will post it up in here.

 

Afraid that last year all video and pics were banned for distribution. I was going along to take some pics until I was told this. Something to do with it being a military base.

 

I'm sure they'll allow footage of your 30-130 runs
