Well I'v started putting the supra diff in to my focos and apart from one small problem it's all starting to fit very well
And this is the small problem . When you put a supra diff in using the MK fitting kit you get a spacer witch is about 20mm that fits to the diff and the prop to the spacer well as this car is a one off and I'v had to make every thing fit I had the prop shaft made 35mm longer so the plan is to put a standard prop on the car and make a spacer to fit . So my mate Rex is going to get the steel tomorrow for me . I'm not going to mob the prop at the mo as I would proffer to save the Ł at the mo as I'm going to have a new prop made for the car over the winter
Only done a very small bit tonight as it's been a long day today at work . Any way my new rear springs turned up today so as it was a nice small job I sorted them
Thanks for that. There only just down the road from me. Cheers
If you do go down there tell them ian cole told you to go there the lad with the cosworths trust me it will help and pay cash and you don't won't a receipt

Well the clock is now ticking as in the week I book up with my mates to do a track day on the 10th of October and with working away I'm up against it now to get the car running again . So When I got home tonight my mate Rex had been and picked up the last of my powder coating and some metal so I could make a spacer for the prop I'v had to put a stander prop on for the track day as I could not get a spacer in with my prop any way this is wot I got sorted tonight .
I'v got to get some new bolts but it will do for now
Not much of a update but when I'v been home witch is not a lot as I'm back to working away a lot again . I'v been working flat out trying to get the focos back togever well tonight I finished it off and did a road test and thank god it's all ok . But as all the tools were out and I'v got a track day next Satday i fort it was about time I put my new tale gate on witch is a very nice carbon fiber one . It only tuck about a hour to do and I'm very happy with it and the fit but the car dose not look the same with out the rear fin . I really need to put one back on the car but the old one is shot and to be onist I don't won't to put a fiber glass one back on it's so heavy . I'v seen carbon fiber and carbon Kevlar ones on cars just need to find out how sells then if any one nows any info please let me no
Can you tell me what mix match of parts you used for your clutch set up as I'm looking to have a second set up that is more road/driver friendly
I currently have an AP twin plate but have race material ceramettalic and it's not so road friendly
I gues I would need the standard flywheel, AP cover plate and a skyline single clutch plate, but will any plate fit with cosworth AP cover or is it only a spring plate type ?

Hi mate 100% right if you look back on my post it's all there the car is running a standerd 2wd flywheel ap cover and a skyline paddle clutch plate nuthing fancy and it works the O/D of the skyline clutch is the same as the Cosworth one so it's just pug and play
Just a small update as of tonight I'v sent off for a controler that will run the gear box it's the Map dccd controler it's fully program abull and come with some maps set in it and second lee I'v got a mate here in Birmingham that uses this kit all the time and can set it all up to my car and the way I drive on the track . And all this for the nice price of Ł283 to the door
All so as in still running as standard dash clocks I needed one of these with work my speedo and the gearbox controller

Yes Toby I'm told you can map it your self so let the fun begin lol any way joking a side I'v got a lad in Birmingham that has worked with this bit of kit for a long time now and has offered to map it to my car and the way I drive .
Very small update the new gearbox controller has landed in the UK so all being well over the next month or so we will get it all wired up and running
If you need to extend any wires I have a massive real of 4 core coloured cable in the right size that I bought to extend the ets wires, I can post you a load if you need any.

Thanks very much Toby I will keep you in mind thanks
With your expertise with these cars mart you are proboly right but with standerd springs on the front and 200 on the rear the car rolled like a boat I the sea . It's got 4x4 rear arb and a bladded front set up on it now . But at the same time the gearbox has not been helping as it's been corsing the car to loos grip in the corners witch in the new year when I get the map dccd working that should be sorted and then we can have a second look at the springs but I must say it felt prity good the last time out at Mallory park . I all so need to look into tyres as that could / is all do letting the car down . In your eyes Martin wot would you put on the car / springs and tyres ?
Worth trying the Dunlop Direzza range or Toyo R888 (Or Michelin Pilot Cup Sport 2) if mainly used on track, just keep an eye on the tyre pressures when they are up to temp as you need to find the optimal hot running level (as with all tyres on track) I would expect them to gain around 5-6 psi or more when hot and remember to pump them back up at the end of the day.
