Yes 4. Yes'ish same pistons Mark, specifics can be had by PM. ---john--- P.S. the run in the first post was shambolic, really struggled with the bite point of the new clutch and fluffed the start. Missed 2nd - 3rd change because I'd been mucking about with shims on a gear linkage modification, and had to lift of before crossing the 1/4 still ended in 11.16 with a fat boy sat in a production seat on the wrong side of the car. I'm so looking forward to hooking this all up and doing it (and Andy's efforts) some justice. |
Was the battery taken from a golf kart etc or is it a proper motorsport one
|
Mark it's a gell battery, but a standard lead acid would do just as well as long as it's not in the car with you. I took the battery out of my old Start/Charge and I'm going to see if that will work as a backup all you need is something that can crank the car, once it's started the alternator should supply what you need, I'll let you know.

Searching E-bay for one now
Is it 50 or 175 amp the Anderson plug? |
Came out of a UPS I stripped down at work as it was dead. It's the bigger one ;)
|
There was a group buy on these small motorsport batteries on 22B as Gerry Houghton bought one for his road car/daily driver to give room for the FMIC tubes.
His 2,5 starts really well, much better than my Sti with a truck sized battery fitted. Graham. |
looks like all your hard work has paid off John :thumb:
|
what gearbox?
|
David, PPG Straight Cut Dog Engagement
|
:)
|
John, did you ever get the car weighed? interested to see what you got it down to
|
Hi Kev, I'm weighing it tomorrow, but I don't have half the stuff out yet so it won't be much lighter than it was 1080kg
|
More Pics, thanks to Scoobay

:thumb: i'm almost at the stage where i might weigh mine, getting stuck for things to bin now :lol1:
what's with the big scoop when you've got the FMIC? |
The big scoop just hasn't been deleted yet, the original intention was to use it with a panel filter as the feed to the turbo.
---john--- |
Free water injection on a wet Scottish hill climb?
My top scoop is currently cooling the 'cold' pipe from the FMIC to the inlet... Spec sheet for the car? Graham. |
Graham,
Have you thought of adding a finned heat sink around the ic pipe? |
Next time your on MSN John, i've got a few pics for you to browse. ;)
Not the dirty ones though! :D |
Splitter
John, where did you get the front lip splitter from? :norty: Not seen one like that before.
|
It looks like a Jun front lip spoiler... wich wheel/tire are you running with?
|
Fibreglasscopy of JUN, Wheels on the car are Rota Torq 17x8 shod with 235/40/17 Dunlop Formula Rs (D01J)

17x8? do you know the ET? did you have to the significant changes to the fenders? sorry for all the questions...
|
No bother, a litle rolling of the rears, lots of camber tucks them under the arches nicely. Did have to run very short springs on the rear to raise the spring seats above the tyre.
|
another one :) john, do you know how much you lowered the car?
|
Are you planning to race at night? just wondering why the PIAAs

Nice work John. :cool: How far North do you come up to compete this year? Mark, they are only covers, there are no lights behind there. Carl, he's out at Doune tomorrow too. I'll be at alford, Fintray and Boyndie, assuming a baby expected 5-6 weeks hence doesn't interfere. ---john--- |
