looking at your photos a few pages back the exhaust manifold is very close to the rad, do you not have any issues with it fowling?

It is pretty close, but can't say i've had any trouble with it at all! And i've had the conversion for over a year now.

Thanks for all the comments!

 

Just a nice update.

 

Bagged myself a feature on the 7th October with PPC (Practical Performance Car)

 

Its a pretty indepth feature from the Email!

 

Hi Martin,

 

how about Wednesday the 7th.

 

basically we meet at Mallory park in the morning for around 8.30 and I do 15 or 20 laps to get some driving impressions of the car, also the onsite photographer will get some track pics although I must say the ones you have also look pretty good.

 

After the track session we head back to our workshop in Northampton where we will put the car on the dyno and look at the engine set up followed by corner weight checks and wheel alignment measurement and general check over on the suspension. and workshop photo shots

 

this gives us enough info to write about the car and possibly suggest any improvements etc

 

let me know if this is o.k

 

regards Troy

 

Bring it on!

 

Put my new decals on yesterday and have new headlights and indictors on route!

 

Also on stand at Rallyday this Saturday for Opies Oils!

What size plug/grommet did you use to plug your rear wiper?

Ohh, that sounds good. Any idea which issue it will be appearing in? I'll keep a lookout! Will certainly be interesting to see a road-going 205 corner weighted. (Albeit pretty stripped out)

As for the day' date=' i don't want to give to much of the feature away!

 

Meet Troy at Mallory Park, where he took it out for a fair few laps to get a feel of the car! He was pretty happy from what i can make out, he said the brakes are very good, but the car could benefit from some more front end grip!

 

Only got Pictures on my iPhone!

Then we went from Mallory to his workshop (Northampton Motorsport), which was a well kitted place tbh with some cool cars lieing about!

His race prepped Westfield

He then put the car on his rollers, which was a single roller setup that i'd never seen before, The car pushed 140bhp, which he said was very good as Throttled bodied 106 push 155bhp on there!

Then the part that intrested me the most!

 

The car finally got weighted!

 

IMG_0060.jpg

 

The car had a full tank of fuel and a few bits inside but it come in at a total of 844kg

 

Front Left : 269kg

Front Right : 262kg

Rear Left : 157kg

Rear Right : 161kg

 

Cross : 51%

 

Not badly balanced !

 

Then the car got all wheel alligned and everything was pretty damn straight and all within tolerance!

 

IMG_0063.jpg

 

Very intresting day all in all and i look forward to the feature that will be out in December hopefully :angry:
