Looking good mate sorry i cant be arsed trolling back all the pages have you put the more power engine build on hold at the moment ?

 

Its looking good Ron
Do you not run a big wing sump, thought they were required for hard track work.

 

Thanks Carlo. Yes the engine build I couldn't do. Lack of funds. So Joe has done some head work and a T38 is on for this year.

Thanks Neil. I run a baffle plate and Windage tray in the sump and it is fine.

 

Nice one mate im sure it will still be fine

 

It's starting to come together again, When are you hoping to have it ready for.

 

Thanks Carlo hopefully it will be a bit better this year

Thanks Pablo. Want it ready asap lol but it'll probably be a mad rush to get it ready for the first race. Always is!!

 

Good to see it all going back together Ronnie and glad to hear Joe has worked some of his magic on the engine

 

Right first up we fitted Tony Ryan aka Touring car spares new TCA/Comp strut set up







Then once that was done we could fit Tony's new 9" x 17" team Dynamics wheels Why more 3 dr owners dont fit 9" rims is beond me as they really are easy to fit.. we still need to get smaller springs for the front as the wheels have been spaced out for the pic but no biggy at all









Comedy shot



New fire wall offered up in place







And how we left it with the inlet back on intercooler/rad, cams back in ect... timing belt back on...

 

Nice car ! I recommend to mount the anti roll bar. You will understand me if you take a test drive.

 

Looks so good on those wheels - I want some!!!!

What size tyres? Are you going to run a 4 or 5 in spring to get the spring seat up higher? Have you linished the back of the arches (you may need to when you turn the wheels). Interested in your spring rates too mate.

I would imagine you are going to fit an arb?

I like Tony's kit - I fell some spending coming on...... bastard

 

Top work guys

 

They wheels look minted

 

Looks real hard whit the 17'" on! Love it

 

Sits perfect with the team dynamics!

 

Leave the pipe alone Ron, its not very becoming of you

Awsome update!

 

I hope that pic makes the mag, and i see no one has picked up on our squiggles on the fire wall yet






We nearly had the car running last night but there is a small fuel leak from a filter hose and since i cut all the wiring from the back of the loom' there now seems to be no dash lights but iv been running though it in my mind it cant be anything iv cut out, so hopefully that will be a simple fix...
Sooooo looks like we are on the home straight at last

Not sure if the car has to go to x sport for its geo set up or Jay is bringing the stuff to the car.. whatever Jay wants us to do i guess

 

9" rubber looks the business. Do the front tyres foul on these compression struts before the inner wing now? Are they mounted from the standard ARB points?
Nearly there how long before the first test now?

 

The rims are fine on all parts except the spring platform.. need to run a smaller spring.

ans the comp struts replace the ARB.. will get a bladed jobbie when funds allow


edit just to add that they still need to be adjusted/set up from those pics

 

I want that TCA setup, how much do they retail Ron?

 

There not available at the moment bud, Rons is the first set to be tested

 

Looks the bollox boys !!! Well done

 

Doubt it, Beefy's had some second hand one's and their on the Touring Car Spares site I've found

 

Not these ones he hasnt, these have had to be tweeked about a bit so they fit

 

Thanks for the comments.

Cochyn as Doug said these are the first set. The pics on Tonys site are of mine. They will retail at 400 pounds. Now Tony knows they all fit ok he is having a few sets made up to keep in stock so give him a shout :0)

And when you speak to him mention me. Not that you'll get a discount. Just gets me in the good books lol

 

What ever you do, DONT mention me as he will charge you double

 

Looks stunning on those rims Ronaldo.

Great work guys.

 

That's grim Ron, like you really need to be in the good books

But what are the one's Beefy has then?

We'll get engine in and setup first, then focus on new toys

 

ive got compbrake ones you ginger pillock !!


ron what you done with your old adj tca's mate ?/


drop me a txt please mush

 

Comp brake ones by the looks of it.



Edit to god damn slow lol

 

Gotchya! Still a nice setup in comparison to stock crap

 

wheels do look stunning!

 

new wheels look superb should be epic this year ronnie bext of luck

 

nice bit of kit ,good price for full set up tcas and comp struts
mark

 

Well she runs

 

Great stuff!

Mines almost there

 

No pics then??

 

Sorry mate i didn't get any today but Ron took a few, and our mate John took a quick vid of the first start up

 

Nice one bud

 

How's the engine sounding, been out for a little blast yet?

 

Engine sounds good, no knocks, bangs, or rattles

Not been out yet as it still has 18's on one side and 17's on the other lol, still need to get the suspension set up just yet too. I picked up some more springs from TCS in the week as the bottom adjuster rings on the coilovers touch the tyres with the car sat low but unfortunately they are the wrong ID to the Gaz coilovers Ron is running. So wound them up for now till we can get some right ones.
