You had me concerned and since mine was off I have just tripled it’s value…

Great write up, in my rather limited testing I would agree with everything here, interestingly the percentage improvement in times was about equivalent. It’s just a shame it costs so much, I do wonder if similar improvements could be possible with a tubular subframe / RC correction. Overall the...

Got the block and head back from AMS last month, done a great job on the following: Hone / new piston jets (galleries unblocked) New guides Seats cut Valves lapped Crankshaft polish Crankshaft balance (0.25g) After 10 years of abuse the block was in a bad way so went through the process of...

Yeah sorry that was done as well, but just the metal inserts, I pushed the bearings in

From memory it was around £350 with powder coating.

I have the sadev racer quick release, it looks the business but is certainly a huge waste of money as I never take it off unless removing the dash..

I wouldn’t start messing with racing bearings, depends on the brand but many have looser clearances designed for the higher output, for example I think ACL come in at about double standard, unless you are prepared for a BTTC ST style start up procedure I would stay away! In an ideal world the...

100% pickup on the front disks, the 1.11 are a race pad so require on/off on the pedal, street driving and poor bedding in can cause the pickup / juddering (been here) Many will tell you can clear the pickup with some heavy braking but I had to take the discs off and carefully sand the pickup...

It will be pickup on the discs that gets worse when things get hot, what are you currently running?

Got a set with the shell, thanks anyway :thumb:

Deadlines are slipping, it’s certainly on my list of tracks but need the car running well before committing to an 8hr round trip :sweatsmile: I fitted a few things this evening that made me happy.

Haha, that shows the green fuel rather well, after the third turn of the ignition that got installed. No scales to weigh but it’s still pretty heavy and I can’t really lift from the front, interestingly it’s much heavier than the new shell even when the old is fully stripped. I have been using...

Ignoring the fuel tank day disaster I am still enjoying this, it’s certainly testing me and life is getting in the way but have plenty of ‘unfinished projects’ #1 steering wheel control panel, been wanting to do this for a while, designed on fusion 360 and going to do it properly with...

Yeah he has a very different style to the ‘norm’, sends it straight to the edge and then controls it.

Doesn’t he keep it in third for that corner and the last?

Took Friday afternoon off to do some bits, it didn’t go very well. Took the fuel pump out to isolate the green fuel issue, both the pump and tank where completely full of what looks like half dissolved black plastic, note that these both came with the shell (good luck to the current owner...

Posted the crash on YT, went through all the footage from the day over the weekend after ignoring it for the past few months. Really got me motivated to get back on track, I was really enjoying that day :cry:

Hours/days spent but looks like I have done nothing... Engine block cleaned and lifted into the golf, the front of the block looks terrible but rear looks good, engine crane did this job perfectly. Still waiting on various replacement parts for the engine so that is currently on hold /...

Nice, that’s 3 more than me with the exact same mods, my engine was 60k at the time, looks like you have a good one.

Btw pure track do the cup racer version painted for £350, it will probably turn up this year as well…
