Hi Stig.

Exedy Twin Plate clutch was £ 1,042.56. I believe it may of been subject to some discount as we purchased other bits too.

P2 completion date? we are aiming at Christmas this year.

 

Off topic but where did you get this louvre thing from? I'm after more, so maybe using multiple insets, but they look ideal.

Cheers

Paul

 

Paul, it's from Milsport...£70 a pair iirc but Ralph will sell them separately.

Right then, a little update

I've been to RCM today and picked up everything I need to complete the bottom end build.

First up is the EJ22 CDB, this has been modified for 14mm Headstuds, converted to rear thrust bearing, block faces skimmed, each cylinder has been honed per piston and finally a pre assembly clean. So basically it's ready to build.







I quite like this next one, Personally embossed with Clive's surname LOL



Next up was the RCM Baffled oil Sump







To compliment this, a Cosworth baffle plate which goes inbetween the sump and the block.





This is the best solutuion to prevent oil surge other than a full on dry sump set up.
Oil Pressure will be monitored with the Syvecs datalogging so we can keep an eye on things.

A whole load of seals, gaskets etc for the bottom end build.


A Modified RCM pump has been ordered.

Here's a pic of the Wiseco Pistons, Matt has kindly already gapped the rings for me.



Finally, a new genuine Subaru water pump and Zero sports thermostat which opens slightly earlier to keep water temps down thus cooling the engine more effectively.



Frustratingly I'm just waiting for the Rods from Lateral to turn up which were ordered on the 12th Feb and through no fault of Mark's are still stateside being manufactured.

As soon as they turn up the project can finally be started

 

Nice bit of kit, engraving is cool

Are you running an oil modine as well as a cooler daz?

 

Yep.

 

The 2011 Sti






That has as much appeal as the **** flaps of a common domestic poodle.

Who ever is designing our new Scoob's need injecting.

 

it's a bit of a scoob hatch mixed with merc rear arches and 5 series boot. paint it wr blue and stick a silly big spoiler and gold wheels on it and it'll probably sell.

 

Those wheels are photoshopped but apparently there are some plans to bring out a wide body saloon WRX in the states,but don'tquote me on it something I read on NASIOC.

2008-2010 WRX Sedans - Page 78 - NASIOC

 

with what though

 

Thats the WRX, not STI also its an official pic thats been lowered and has different wheels via PS

 

Who gives a flying f*ck what next years car looks like? I don't I own a classic

 

well said daz lol classics are the best

 

Best of both worlds

 

A little video I found

Select HD 1080 & full screen. Also in 5.1 S.Sound

Nicely put together vid

 

25,000 fps?

 

I wish you'd stop putting up such good quality vid's of "our car" as when I buy it I'll have half the country to bid against.
Nice job Clive, are you not busy at the moment. All this time to play with editing vid's.
Pity you wont get through the next MOT, Number plates fail to comply with current legislation

 

Still have the original plate of our car Hugh

 

very good vid

 

I forgot that I had arranged to go to RCM tomorrow to drop the heads off for various machining to be done on them.

So I started at 9pm with this.



and various stages over the next four hours ended up with completely stripped heads ready for RCM to go to work on.

I got the bare heads boxed and ready to go at just gone 1am




Engine has been rebuilt at some stage but by some cowboys by the looks of it.






Heads pre porting



Stripped and ready to go





That's the horrible messy part over and done with. The next stage is to start rebuilding with all the new shiny bits Still waiting for the bloody rods to arrive though!!!

 

Hi Dazdavies, hope it's not too personal but how much did the EJ22 CDB take out of the budget?

Cheers

 

1.2K stripped cleaned & inspected.

 

 

My video's better than yours

nice one

 

LOL you tart, how did you do that ??

 

Damn, can't watch it at work. Will have to have a look when I get home.

 

I would be tempted to suggest removing the nodule that blocks the hole in the stat assuming it is going to do track work?

Simon

 

Darren,

If you think it's frustrating, how about Crower pulling out the stops, getting them ready 3 weeks early, and then finding you can't get them because some sodding volcano has fecked all the flights !



Mark.
