Nice.

 

Those coilovers have come up a treat.

[alexcrosse 124]

yep... if only i could put it on the ground!

[Cameron 16]

What's stopping you? Rear beam?

 

I have one of those you know..

[alexcrosse 124]

disks, lack of them. rear beam is decembers investment I think...! Atleast I've already got some dampers for the back you know..

[Cameron 16]

I have a set of discs you could have.. Hahaha

[alexcrosse 124]

I have a set of discs you could have.. Hahaha

[alexcrosse 124]

Any updates? The cam looks serious, mine is over 300 deg but that one looks massive compared to mine!

[alexcrosse 124]

haha, routers playing up so havnt been on much! Hows does the cam drive? What pistons and rods / induction are you using?

 

As for update, got a xsara vts early 2.4 rack, so been sorting that out:

 

cleaned it all up

 

got new rod ends on and cut the ends down a touch

 

welded up the original PAS fluid fittings as plugs and put them back in after the clean up

 

then shoved it on the car

 

next job is mounting the reservoirs and getting the cage in before xmas

 

Cheers,

Cam drive lovely, not much below 3000rpm but after that the torque is huge and really punchy! I love it but will probably go wilder late next year for more power. Im using 1.9 crank and rods all balanced, 1.6 pistons again balanced, lightened flywheel, arp bolts, twin 45 dcoes, magnex 4-1 mani with 2 1/4" straight through system and a magnex 2" back box. I love the engine and the way it drives just having issues with carbs at the mo

[alexcrosse 124]

haha, sounds good mate! You need some ITB's then =p I gave up with carbs after my 1425cc A series that was on a 45 dcoe, seasonal jetting is a nightmare! I've got 3 of these camshafts and should be getting a few sets of fairly special pistons made up to cope with the valve lift and revs... so give me a PM if your interested pal

 

sounded good tho!

its not all boring dyno... theres a driveoff at the end, lol

Will go to bodies at the end of next year i expect, when funds allow. At the moment to have the engine run at its potential will be good enough, god knows ive spent so much money and time looking for faults this year just want to use it and upgrade suspension before looking at more power again. Thanks for the offer though. What size valves are you going for?

[alexcrosse 124]

okey doke, +1 on inlets, std exh, should be able to get away with just that and many many hours of porting the short side radius, lol! Comfortably over 200bhp and im happy.

[Cameron 16]

Put that flow bench to good use!

[alexcrosse 124]

too busy cooking 'bare' amounts of gammon to flow heads!

[Cameron 16]

"Bare" should be a new technical term, in the same realms as QT and FT.

[alexcrosse 124]

Bare movement

Bare torque

Bare deltaP

 

...oh the possibilities!

[Cameron 16]

How much does it weigh?

 

Bare.

 

[alexcrosse 124]

where the hell is the tumbleweed emoticon? lol.

[alexcrosse 124]

theereeee we go

[alexcrosse 124]

picked up my rollcage on wednesday saftey devices one, second hand, looks all good. Also whilst I was there the chap (who was breaking his rally car) had a refurbished steering UJ (square fitment...) with no play in it, so picked that up for £15.... just sayin lol....

 

Now have to decide whether do go to the unit tonight and start on the cage... or to to and drink cheap jagerbombs in leamington all night wake up with a head full of shame and regret....

[welshpug 1,622]

cage!
