Awesome mate, glad you finally got it back. Looks like a beast. Are you bringing it to Lydd this week then?

Didn't get any on the paint
My frigging back is killing me from trying to get the bolts off the front suspension, and i cut through that brake hose i was so fricking annoyed. Glad it's fixed now.

Looks like the spoiler might be coming off then.

Royal - can't come to lydd mate. Car aint going to be ready. Still need to get diff welded and it mapped. So gutted i'm going to miss it.

Yes! Glad to see it back where it should be. Looks awesome tucking those Advans. You'll have to take me for a spin when I'm back on Friday if its running as it should be

I have to echo the BGW comments though! Would look hard if you got some Drag mounts though, and mounted it off the rear of the boot (if the wing itself is wide enough). Kind of like Mittos old S14.5

HAHA yeah it's obviously got a few. But most are disconnected. If you look on the first page at the 2nd pic i think you can see a few that aren't there. Doesn't have things like AFM e.t.c as it's all built into the DTA.

Sorry i'm not that Technical.

O and after alot of thought. The WING is going. Not sure if it's going to be replaced with a Bigger and Wider one or just leave it off.

Bit of a PROPER piss take now.

Mapper said that they can't get any more power than 300bhp as the pump is flat out on 4.5bar. He said i can either put an Escort Cossie group a pump in. In that case i have to have more than 1/4 tank all the time.
Or go for a Fuel Cell in the boot and try and get more fuel that way.

Anyone got any ideas on what they are going on about. HAHA i'm not that technical. Or is there a way around this.

That doesn't sound right at all. Who's mapping it mate?

Walbros should be good for well over 400!

Found a few issues with it. Gear Ratio is Badly needing to be sorted. Changed the gearbox when the car was built but thinking i need a standard box again.
Also Turbo - Manifold is Blowing like mad.

Did you get the fuel pump issue sorted? Your mapper sounds shit tbh with you. What DTA and gearbox you running?

Liking the white advans

Well now i'm not sure mate. Gearbox is supposed to be standard but with strengthened bits. On your sil80 what did you get out of it in 2nd. After chatting to a few people it might not be long ratio'd. Might just be lacking in SO much power. Haven't got the fuel pump sorted yet. It's blowing so i'm going to fix that and get another mapper to have a look. Hopefully someone will be able to map it properly.

What do you mean what DTA?

Yeah that's what i thought. I'm hitting 75-80 in 2nd. But when i'm doing the slow corners in the skyline i used to be able to keep it in 2nd. This just bogs down so much. It might just be so underpowered.

These wheels are Alberts. Doing the orange lip on all of them but only had time to spray up 2 completely. Your wheels are getting sprayed the same but just need to get the tyres off.

sure its nothing to do with the diff? sure i remember someone saying auto diffs give much better accelaration so may seem like different ratios?

likewise im no mechanic so could be talking bollocks!
