Crazy timing guys, just got back from RCM to see how things are going. Progress has been slow due to a mixture of factors, mainly how much the guys are in demand. Anyway update time

Stunning pics mate bet you can't wait to get it back
|
Yep big time. I think the visit has made the wait seem even longer, i just want to go out for a blast. O well good things come to those that wait (gives me more time to keep clocking the overtime up to fund her)
Thanks for the interest :thumb: |
20 weeks with no scoob. :eek:
|
Think of the fuel savings lol, the negative effect has been damage to the tdi Clio which has had to put up with 20 weeks of my spirited driving.
|
LOL, poor Clio.
The longer you have to wait the better, faster and more rewarding it's going to be. |
Good luck to ya buddy!

alrite mate
bit off topic but where did you get your mirrors from mate wanted a set for ages.. cheers dave |
Oh nice pics there, bet that was nice visiting RCM, and seeing yours next to the Gobstopper, did you hear anything about their new project?, any sneeky views?
Oh do me a favour and pop that Snap-On Mclaren tool chest in your boot, and I'll pick it up later:thumb:. Your a lucky chap I can tell ya, that spec list of yours in mental, its going to be an awesome car, enjoy it:D |

Thanks for the positive feedback, :thumb:
|
Looking good, you must be itching to get it back and run-in so you can start to enjoy/abuse the new setup:D
|
Sounds like a lot of power. And with an RCM build as well, I imagine the powerband will be something great too. Hope you enjoy it.

Get a thread started under Projects with updates/pics. If you think its already been a long wait then imagined how I felt with 17 months of it! Am sure it will be worth it in the end! Welcome to the 2.35 club! :thumb:

If your gonna do it, you might as well do it properly.
If a reliable 480bhp cost 20k, then thats the choice you make. I am very much in the boat of paying the extra for a respectable tuner to do it properly. At least with RCM you know no corners will be cut, and they wont release the car until its 100%, which i suspect what other tuners dont do, hence you hear about the horror stories. Although for me personally, i would of also looked at importing a Crafword kit, which i was quoted about $1000 to send it, plus the cost of the kit, comes out around similar monies! (assuming you have the spanner skills to drop it in palce) http://store.crawfordperformance.com/store/products/81 |

that is looking very nice mate, i bet you can't wait to take it out for its first drive.
|
:luvlove: Nothing like a bit of RCM magic:notworthy Will be a nice xmas present now:thumb:
|
:cool:
|
Looking good! Bet the wait feels like driving a car with really bad turbo lag. :D

Why is the fuel return to the reg on the LHS bank so long?

Looks ace, I’m already spotting the trick bits that I’m missing :)
Notice you are keeping the air con, probably a wise move - I wiped mine out, more to keep things tidy than anything else Was the exedy clutch your choice? - im still not 100% on mine for a weekend car its fine On the morning trip to work when the engine is cold, straight in to a traffic jam , lumpy idle due to cams , light fly wheel etc and don’t want to give the engine 2 minutes on the drive to warn up slightly because its to noisy = pain in the ar$ They key with mine was mapping, it took a few sessions as the engine loosened up a bit but eventually the idle and drive at low speeds went from bearable to not bad at all, I’m not sure what ecu you are going with but mine is on a simtek which I will try and get updated next year which might improve things a little more The grey coating on the headers is a really good idea, the white one on mine looked great for a few months, then starts to go black around the slip joints I’m not sure when the RCM rollers are open but if you fancy it we could try and get together and compare specs \ figures Ps we need a full spec sheet Rich |
