a trial fit ofthe new panel

 

Great progress

 

 

Did u pull the roff off just to get a non sunroof on there?

Not tempted with a carbon one?

Forget that, i'm obvioulsy blind...its an ally one.

 

Nice work. How do you name the little thing you have in your hand?

 

looking good mate it looks like it will be a monster when finished

 

Nice looking build, big balls to cut the roofskin off !

JeroentjeRS, thats an internal micrometer

 

Great thanks

 

looks mad

 

Looks great pal. Only Jap I'd have. Where are you in Sheff?

 

yes thats the main reason i won this roof of ebay for Ł31 an ams carbon one is just short of a grand

 

Great progress mate

You know where i am if you need any help

 

Bargain!

Nice way to save weight and bin off the sun roof.

Did you weigh the old and the new just to compare? Good saving even a couple kgs at the furthest point away from the centre of gravity.

Engine sounds like a wee monster too

 

Nice one Gus
Twin pumper is here with your name on it

You forgot to tell the full story about the MR roof!
Ross offered it you for 400 odd quid.....you declined his offer so Ross sticks it on fleabay and you get it for 31 nicker

 

looks good mate, hows things aint spoke for ages?

 

i reckon its about 20-25kg all inso thats a bonus

 

not bad rob going nice and steady you? hows the car

 

now then gus i hope alls well i see you still like fooking about with cars lol. looks a nice mota mate and i'm glad to see it's getting some work done to improve the performance due to the extreem wieght of the driver. only joking chap nice to see you still do a bit mate. looks like you'v got a bit to do bt i'm sure it will be worth it pal. anyway it's a big leap forward to the old fords pal a nice modern car with heeps of potenial to be fast and reliable, keep up the good work chap i will be in touch soon fella happy new year and all that bullshite mrb

 

 

Now that's fookin funny, bet you enjoyed picking the roof up!

 

you could say that lol

 

God you don't fuck about do ya m8 ? Gonna be a beast this one.

 

Oh man, hes back!

 

i believe its a micrometer?

 

oh stu i neglected to mention the roof to you

 

nice one gus looks like you have your hands full there bud

 

Nice project! will follow this one

 

i like to keep buisy pal not like 2 jobs are enough

 

Brilliant build!

 

Gus, as per our text conversation last night - give Turbo Dynamics a bell and ask them if they can do you an Evo 9 GT compressor housing with GT30 compressor wheel, roller bearing core and GT30 turbine wheel in an external wastegate twin scroll back end

It's essentially a FP Red but i seem ro recall you can only get the Red on an internal gate setup

 

If they could do that then they would be able to walk on water Evo turbo's run backwards and the GT turbo's do not.

Mark

 

I stand corrected! < one of those for me

I'd like to see how one of the FP Reds behaves on a stroker engine - on the digging i did on it last night i was led to believe it was GT30 based wheels...

I can only find it in an internally gated setup and i know Gus wants to run external...

Have you tried the FP Red yet Mark?

 

Not seen a red yet, The green is a ok turbo but I prefer the GT30 but it does cost more.

Mark

 

GT3076R it is then Gus

 

(( JeroentjeRS )) How do you name the little thing you have in your hand?
[/quote]

Its a (( Internal bore micrometer ))

 

thats it then will

 

Gus, that GT3076 i used earlier in the year on a 2.0 with the smaller exhaust housing did 517bhp with 470lb/ft - i'm sure the stroker motor will prefer the bigger exhaust housing

Should make for a fast motor

 

Gus those pistons look like manley and not weisco,
I would run a Full race/AMS/Sheara GT3076 with a .82 housing.

Mark

 

they are custom wiseco thats what the box said mark what cams would you use mark?
