Good work guys

What's your plan on the engine Ron?

 

Cool, you lot want to come round for dinner?

 

Are you going to cook Doug

 

Of corse... dont go home tuesday day, come round mine for a night.

 

been doing some bits to the car whilst i had a couple of days off over christmas.

got the front screen out with some help from the twins and steve.



also removed the ABS distribution block and pipe work as i am having all new brake lines made up by 'hel'



also the gearbos is now at 'gears' for a full rebuild and andy has been sending some pics of the progress

some worn synchros



5th gear puller



off in one piece





new bearings







will also be using there hydraulic slave cylinder

why i am taking parts off i am cleaning and giving them a lick of paint

gearbox cradle





when the engine was stripped it was decided that it would be better to look for a new head, fortunately M-T motorsport had the ideal head that we were after, ported to the right size and two bd 14's in it a deal was struck



had an idea for a new rear diffuser too, it is a varis style diffuser as used on a lot of jap cars, the picture of it is just mocked up to get an idea of sizes, it will have deeper blades and sit a lot lower down



like this



i will be welding cage gussets tomorrow night, i will take some pictures as i do

massive thanks to gears for there help with the gearbox and M-T motorsport

 

Yr cars improving all the time

Mt Motorsports a sound chap!

Looking good mate, when's the season start?

 

Gonna be a weapon Ron.

 

I've heard a bit about the Varis aero kit, it's actually functional it creates working vortices down the side of your bumper helping with smooth air return. Any more news on the rear beam you chose?

 

thanks for the comments





cheers mate, yeah he is a diamond. no i'm not racing at mallory unforyunately


thanks mate, got to try and improve it as much as i can



i know best chop chop




thanks mate, first race is 1st april


yes mate after looking in to them they seem to work well, will see how well it works on the sierra.

mk mototrsport will be doing my rear beam

 

Would you benefit from sequential shift or do you shift fine on the h pattern

 

I'm sure sequential would benefit me massively but I can't afford a sequential box so I will have to stick with H pattern.

 

Plus you can't run a sequential box in Club Class, i'd love one in my 3 Door mind.
Rich

 

that as well yes

 

When are we looking at mapping date wise Ronnie?

Rich

The only way to get grip in the wet in this thing is to make our own wets using hundreds of these
