Ustolemy....

I have tried.. You need to get the wire speed up, but the wire just jams if it catches... Arc a bit brighter... you arent kidding... There seemed to be no control over the weld either.. it was like it just wanted to float above the piece of metal... I may give it another go yet... Someone suggested using argon + helium... but I was just using pure argon..

David

 

How could you all let me slip to page 2... Well I suppose there isnt anything new... Got home last night and there was a subaru throttle body sat on the kitchen table...

So I will drill and tap the inlet tomorrow.

David

 

David,

When I started reading this thread it WAS still on page one, I've only just reached the end

Keep up the good work!

 

Hi David

Good to see somebody actually trying themselves. Been down this road with my Cossie MKII.

Here is some pics of the intercooler and radiator set up I fabbed up.






I'd help you with the alloy welding but your probably at the wrong end of the country

Rgds

Scot

 

Looks really nice that.. Cheers for the offer... just a bit too far!... Cant quite think of a joke for the cat... but Im sure someone will.

David

 

So the first person to joke about Cosworth's being ***** magnets gets a slap OK!

 

now i've reached the end bttt

 

Latest update... off on holiday to greece for a week on wed morning...

David

 

Take the alloy tube with you ! May find a welder over there

 

Im not that sad... but I do have the rally design catalogue on my desk at work, and Im going to order all the samco stuff before I go.

David

 

And if you're lucky it may be here by autumn Can't get a 80mm / 90deg bend anywhere ! Tried 11 suppliers (Samco 4-5 weeks delivery)

 

**** me... I only want a length of pipe and a reducer

the rest is fuel injection pipe... was going to use braided but its a fooking rip off.

David

 

Hi David
I will speak to you after your holls, have you tried Hose Direct
for the samcos he olso does the braided hoses Tel 01302 711020
Ask for Paul and say Phil Allanby said to try him.

Phil

 

ahhh, I think I remember it, vaguely It's quite surprising how many peeps recognise my car tho ( just thought, it has my name written on it)

See you on the N Yorks run eh?

Bob

bttt

 

I knew I was going to have the least power so tried to be the dirtiest... It was the first wagon to run and it was nice for all the support... shouts of take it home... Some people are so nice... then they started noticing different wheels, interior, brakes.. dustbin sized hks air filter and HKS Hiper exhaust... oh and a lot of noise when it came on boost...

Phil... I would but ive sent the order now... i think I compared prices and they were about the same.

David

 

Spoken to rally design and shock horror they havent got the reducers in, but will have next week. Sending other stuff out anyway.

David

 

could of been worse, you could of only managed 94BHP like me

 

213bhp was poor as **** though... Especially with a filter and exhaust.. had a right dip in torque tho.. that they put down to the plugs...

Anyway off to pack... back in a week hopefully. C ya

David

 

BTTT

 

BTTT

 

Now, he's back of hols soon...

 

Thats if he's not still drunk......

 

BTT for David

Hope you had a good time M8 I'm off there for 2 weeks tomorrow Hope you left some beer for me ya drunken bum

Andy

 

once more

 

He'll have been that pis5ed all holiday that when he gets back he'll think some ba5tard has vandalised his car

Hope you had a good one David

 

Ive been back about an hour... 66 emails downloading at moment... Instead of unpacking and getting all my bottles of booze out!!! I decided to open the package from rally design.... Fuel hoses are wrong... should be 1.5m and are .5m and there is a 1m length of samco hose, but no reducer yet.... And dont say I told you so Andy.

Oh yeah I did have a nice holiday, and did drink lots, but I have decided I absolutley hate the person I shared a room with... Never Ever Again.... (Female) --- (No Just friends... or I thought we were.... Moody B1tch!)

Anyway Not working till monday... so May do some work tomorrow..

David

 

Glad you had a good break. Sorry to hear about your roomy though and that the bits are wrong. Hope it all gets sorted soon and you can crack on.

Steve

 

Wayhey - the thread is back and running......

Cant' wait David...

Matt

 

Now their's a thing David, The sort of thing i have now come to expect form the company that sent you your bits, not getting something right on an order

Shock Horror... I've done some work..... so heres the pictures..

Replacement fuel Pressure reg. has no bracket so I need to make one.


Found a bit of metal in the scrap box...


Some of the bits that I ordered


Length of Samco Hose...


Inside a bit of hose... obviously...


Fits onto the tubing fine.... but...


This shows the difference in size...


Bracket made....


Mounting Place... Threaded hole on strut...


Dont even dare say that the middle hole is off...


Bolted up...


Mounted On the Car..


I need to make one of these... (the groove is where I removed the O ring From.


That fits in this hole on the end of the injector rail.


Found these bits in my scrap box which should do.


turned the rod down a tiny bit and put a groove in for the o ring.


Seeing if metal is big enough (this was a off cut from the bracket)


Drilled a hole through the metal... now about to weld it...


Mounted in the lathe to machine it up.. and to hide the weld..


Different Angle


Drilling out the middle..


You can see that a machined some grooves on it as well...


Finished... (theres no pictures in between above and here as the memory card was full... and all i did was drill to holes and then cut it to the correct shape)
