Yeah that and clearance on the bumper / wing (as you know)

Yep, thanks again mate. Got the cup speedlines but it is crying out for something more aggressive, I think I would only upgrade to something 8J but then want to keep the ET which limits options..

Yeah I spaced mine further by placing a few washers above the overpriced threaded washer, you can improve the angle as well by only spacing the two closest to the wheel.

Cheers, yeah I was in a similar position, I opted for a rivnut on the left and a ali L bracket in the engine mount bolt.

Had some time off this month so lots of catching up to do on this thread. First up is the addition of Piper Cams supporting the rebuild! Really excited to get them on board, after approaching Lee earlier this year he mentioned that they were working on a 403 style billet cam and looking for...

What’s your plan? My concern is creating something that then shorts on the manifold / heat shield, RT125 epoxy is used in harnesses which might be an option to create something that shields and protects

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.
