Anyone got any links to any good techy threads I might have missed in the last couple of months?

Or any cool new builds started, that sort of thing?

 

welcome back mate

 

I had to rub my eyes when I first seen the user name

Pmsl

Welcome back mate

 

I made a thread about compression ratios but nobody seemed interested.

https://passionford.com/forum/genera...ion-ratio.html

 

Post about compression struts and 6 links in escort room.

Also good to have you back.
Made Pauls drive shafts for his Megan powered Clio this week

 

Thanks for the welcomes back

Replied

 

Nice one, glad to hear its still progressing.

What construction are they? Choppped and welded or custom ones from scratch?

 

Eh hem , chopped and welded, but interference fit. Will do for now and if they break there good prototypes for custom shafts.

How's your Clio coming. Started mocking the vtec engine into my escort this week. Made a slimmer pulled for alternator aswell to make lump skinyer.

 

Absolutely mate, well worth having a working prototype as quite possible the length may need changing a little anyway once used in anger.


Not really made any real progress yet, just starting to mock it up in the subframe but really short on time as per normal sadly.

I've got plenty of room for the pulley as the clio had a gearbox poking through the chassis leg at that point so I think im going to leave mine alone even though its a lot of unwanted rotating mass, im just nervous about upsetting the dynamic balance of the crank if I lose a lot of weight out of it.
If yours survives though, I'll blatantly copy you

Any pics of the escort progress?

 

Good rear beam thread.

 

saw your name and though omg its chip!welcome back mate! glad to see you on here again!

 

Good read that, just going through it

 

Thanks.

 

So much for a lifetime ban!

Zombi. XxxxxxX

 

That was the initial plan, but they do discuss it with banned members.
They arent quite as bad as some of us give them credit for

 

I'll get ya some picks mate. I've moved the servo ect out the way.
I copied the 'N1' pulley fitted to certain teg type Rs that didn't have powerstering.
Works a treat and weighs about 200 grams.

Still scratching my head at the loom at the moment lol

 

Ah ive taken the easy option on the loom, gone autronic, lol

Interesting about the type r, wonder if the cranks differ at all though, or the flywheels as I do know honda put a lot of effort into getting these things not to vibrate so I'm keen not to mess it up but obviously the ITR engine is even better in terms of revs.

 

Shocked to see your name on a new thread , welcome back matey

 

hey he is back, let the good times roll

 

Welcome back Chip, it has been quiet without you lol

Steve

 

welcome back chip

few threads for you to peak at https://passionford.com/forum/genera...ts-please.html

https://passionford.com/forum/genera...fo-needed.html

not sure if its of any interest to you tho.

 

Hi mate good to have you back ,still building the workshop .

 

good techy thread is the rayland one just below.

 

Just pulled the old reclaimed polystyrene roof insulation down to replace with some proper stuff that we're in the middle of putting up, but other than that just been using it rather than doing anything to it mate, looks like all the people thinking it would fall down cause they were too thick to see the big fat fucking pillars are going to be dissapointed

 

That beam thread is really good, been reading through that.

still think a 200sx backend or similar is a better option though if you really want a sierra to handle

 

I must have glanced a the wrong pages, seemed to just be pointless arguing

 

i think my new little project fits that bill matey


https://passionford.com/forum/restor...r-is-born.html

glad your back you are a credit to this forum mate imo

 

Welcome back to the nut house!

All we need now is tabs and it will be happy days again!

 

yep lol

 

Have a glance at my escort thread below.

 

You saying that has got me all concerned now. I did wonder y the old one Is do heavily dampened. Might do a bit of research before running it up.

Cheers.
