Hi mate, thanks ill take a look. I cut just inside the chassis rails, left enough to rivet the alloy floor onto. The difuser was cut to size and just bolted together. If i did it again id just bolt the difuser sides direct to boot floor. Things get tricky if you mount the difuser too high at the back as it hits the boot floor! Id like to get some better rear shots but its wedged up against a fence!

 

Hi mate, sorry cant get any decent rear shots due to fence and I have no tyres to move the car. Would'nt mind a decent look myself! The Brembos I took off my old car as ive used them on track and had problems. It will be nice to upgrade as I find weak points. Ideally i'd go AP's later.

 

No problems I mean!

 

Engines in after a few wiring issues, had the wrong engine loom and sensors. Sorted the breather set up and bypassed a few things ie throttle body water pipes etc. Swapped all the rubber hoses and also made up a resonator delete pipe on the air inlet.

Alloy rad, AP clutch fitted and some RCM 550cc injectors. Just waiting on headers so I can wrap and port them. Also need a baffled sump but prices around £500 its gonna be a long wait.

 

Speak to Alyn at AS performance re baffled sump

 

Cheers bud will do ta.

 

Hi guys, whats the best tool for porting headers? I dont own a compressor so thats out. Cheers

 

If you don't have compressed air and die grinders you will struggle and it is dirty arduous work. Remember it is not just a matter of opening the diameter but the shape of the in and out ports are critical as the objective is to accelerate the gas flow.

 

Thanks harvey. Just trying to keep costs down or you'll be 1st choice.

Enjoyed a Lambo Murch LP640 track day 2day, bloody amazing! The hot lap was in a Focus RS and boy did he throw it round corners in the wet. I seriously didnt know cornering that fast was possible in a Focus

 

Anyone got any issues with Yoko AD08's? Are they as good or better than R888's?

 

awesome looking project! just a quick question for all you track people, im looking to turn my written off scoob into a pure track car but i need to know what exhausts i can use because of the sound limits as i currently have a race tube and there is no way in hell they will ever let that on track!

thanks all

 

Yeah I'm worried too as mines 3" straight through with just rear backbox.

 

loving this project near as the same as im undertaking...i have so far stripped out the interior no sound deading..i have also fitted tein coilovers..im going fabricate my own cage as i own a fabrication bussiness so any ideas/pics on how to fit im goin for welded in i will try get some photos up KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

 

Thanks mate, goodluck.

 

Hoped to get her running this week but I've been tucked up by a seller on a up-pipe! Bought all the race fluids for brakes, power steering etc.

Fitted some bonnet lifters, I can see why you can't use these on a carbon/fibreglass bonnets. Great mod mind, nearly took my head off earlier when I forgot they were fitted!


Headers ported and wrapped. I used some grinding stones all different shapes on a drill and managed to do a decent job in 2/3 hours. Managed to get quite deep into ports, not a bad job to do and worth having ago yourself. The up-pipes big enough already.


Air pipe/resonator delete done, bit of a mare as I could not find a 55mm to 70mm silicone elbow. Managed to use a 55mm sleeve on turbo and slip a 60mm to 70mm elbow over that. Just need to connect the pipe on inlet to manifold somehow. To much of a bend not to kink. Think I'll use x2 plastic elbows.

 

looking good

 

Hi guys, anyone got a clue on connecting the lambda up? Ive got 3 wires on my loom and 2 on the lambda. Is it possible or do I need another lambda? Cheers.

 

How will you benifit from that defuser out of interest, in fact any defuser which doesn't have a complete flat bottom?

Thanks
Sam

 

the 3rd wire is for a heating eliment in the probe. the other 2 are for the signal's. so your lambda has only the signal wires.

 

It does have a flat bottom?? If it has no effect its all good, I like the look and keeps me busy. Stops the bumper acting as a parachute also.

 

Thanks mate, Ive ordered a replacement direct fit.

 

got any good pics ov your cage i.e mounting points and joins if can or any1 else cheers steve

 

Ive not got to the interior yet Steve. I need to make plates and weld in soon. I can show you where they mount if you want?

 

anybody found and exhausts that are good for tracks yet? lol

 

My Blitz Nur Spec was ok at Brands.

 

Cobra track friendly system and i think there is a Revolution exhaust available.

Thanks
Sam

 

i have a powerflow on and im sure its going be way 2 loud lol

 

I was lucky enough to go on track before getting a full system and seeing how strict they are and that mine was already at at 87db, got me thinking sraight away what to do.

Thanks
Sam

 

Straight through with a magnex back box on mine, and passes Croft noise tests (85db last time)

 

Well happy got it running! Just mind, cuts out if you to touch the throttle.

I'm running with no lambda so hopefully thats why.
