Ok got the rack off today. lots of fluid in the boots! :eek was very lucky the sump is ok. subframe is dented a tad... need to jet wash it down after i'm finished, power steering fluid everywhere+ mud = fookin mess !
I lost the wolfraces on ebay got these instead (not actual ones) they need total refurbing! pontiac snowflakes ! 8.5j et 0 . 15 inch sweetness. i fuckin love 15" wheels... they should be done by end of dec time
Cool car. Is this a typo? Oil temp isnt even warm enough till 70 and at 90 its ideal, I'd only stop around 120. But seen higher than that with no probs on track.
I'd agree with the above, about 90's where you want to be with the oil temp, it'll be doing what its designed to do at that temp. I've seen millers stuff keep an engine from damage whilst in the 140's. Good shit. Car looks sweet btw, loving those wheels
gonna be badass. the wheels were the only thing letting it down really. will use the same tyres... 185-55
This is a really cool project, love all the stuff about it, especially being a compact, good stuff mate
Went to BDC licencing day at Norfolk on sat! was real good. The track was ok. Better than the usual norfolk layout. Didn't get a licence though. totally messed up under pressure :ghey: car performed epicly besides still having a popped through front top mount from the recent crash... smashed the pillowball! had to do alignment by eye (mega broke this month) and feel aswell so not the best setup but wasn't a bad setup haha. got a new top mount on order. the oil cooler was doin a great job not letting the temps go over 90 however cooling is still a issue... temps were at 120c max after each session. I think it will be better on a larger track where there will be more airflow like lydden or mallory. raised the bonnet a lil. stealth venting! but here was my first run which wasn't as bad as the other 2 lol. thanks to the dude who filmed it Some pics from the day and my friend Kris who went home with semi pro! he's been skiddin just over a year now
Thanks dudes! Lil update. was swapping over the busted top mount yesterday and a bottom strut bolt sheared into the hub. Great... should have a hub by next week. Goin to lydden hill on the 7th. open pit lane! gonna be good! Got HID's in last week 6000k. looks mega cool at night the Snowflake wheels are nearly finished (centre bored, damanged lip repaired and redrilling) should have em back next week-ish so I can start stripping and painting this is how far I got with them before i sent em off to DA SHOP some random pics rolled the arches some more in prep for the new wheels and found some lovely 3/4 inch deep filler. looks like there was a bump here before and they just fillered over the dent Lol.
Nice Ride What kind of coilovers are you using on the rear train ? I have a compact to (M50b25 conversion) and she's not as low as i want on the rear with short springs
Thanks dude I'm using GAZ gha coilovers on front and rear. single unit so you can lower enough till the suspension arm is solid against the body haha.
some prep before lydden. spanner check all round sorted a lil (major when drifting) oil leak still need to do alignment ! the girlfriends got a new cam, does take some good pics
