Big spec 200 Cup *FOR SALE*

Just finished fitting the Wheeler Motorsport shift tower what a great bit of kit! Perfectly positioned like the Pure motorsport version and bringing the shift cables through the bulkhead keeps them well clear of the manifold.

Few little bits done yesterday and some new parts arriving for the Supercharger conversion. Collected the dash from Raj at Autofloc yesterday, hes works absolutely faultless! Removed the sound deadening/matting from behind the upper dash before refitting.
Tial Q Bov with the correct Supercharger spring and a push fitting, will tap the manifold to suit. Welded a -10 fitting onto the breather box to do away with the PCV valve.
New lightweight crank pulley. Will get everything built back up this week with a new cambelt kit/water pump.
Sweated some 6mm nylon hose onto a 3 bar map sensor to fit a push fitting in the inlet.

Relocating the battery behind the driver's seat is a bit of a nightmare with the under bonnet fuses so decided to cut it out completely and use more conventional fuses and make a carbon plate to cover the gearbox mount. And getting the ally parts ready for some clear coat after sandblasting last night!!

 

[RSRowe]

Proper tidy solution that!

Thank you! It will be when it's finished!

So got a bit done this weekend! I decided to sandblast a load of the ally bits while the engine was apart was going to paint them and crackle red the cam box but they just came out bad so took them to get vapour blasted and came up better than new! Literally gobsmacked! A few coats of matt lacquer and they've gone such a good colour! Can't wait to get the inlet back and get that done!t

Mounted the lightweight battery up and finished the carbon cover plate for the gearbox mount / fuse box mount. The weight difference in batteries is unreal! Just waiting for a few clips to secure the conduit.

Managed to squeeze a few hours in this afternoon! Got the inlet and throttle body back from Dave Young this week who ported and gas flowed them. Absolutely fantastic job and price! Very fast turn around couldn't ask for more! Tapped the original locations for the push fittings for the map / bov and thought I'd have another go with the crackle paint. Painted it with some matt black first so I could put the crackle paint on a bit thinner and it's turned out great, so happy with the result this time.
Booked in for mapping next Thursday at RS Tuning.
Few bits and bobs to finish off tomorrow, make some brackets for the oil cooler to lower it etc, new aux belt tensioner as its cocked over, bumper on then get some miles on it!

cSo completed a hundred easy miles before mapping and sorted a few bits and bobs out. Trip to RS Tuning went trouble free and made decent power. Its absolutely transformed the car and can't wait to properly stretch its legs at Oulton next weekend. The diff is harder work than I expected at low speed on the road. Remade the map sensor bracket this week and thought Id check the geo, was miles out! Luckily the rear only took 1 x toe shim to get that back and re-set the front toe/camber. Given the front slightly less -toe and more -camber to try.

Great read. Lovely build

Lovely build, nice attention to detail!

Why did you not go for a MAP sensor that fitted the existing position? I’m looking to SC mine and was just going to get a 2.5 bar sensor from a DCi.

Which spring rating do you have for the BOV?

TIA

Oulton park next Saturday the 12th? Im there and.would really like a look at this mate .

Thanks buddy! Because they just move around and generally leak before they've been boosted so just welded the original hole up and used these fittings. Not a chance of any boost leaks that way. I'm using the red spring.

Yes awesome! Will look out for you, come and say hello if you see me

Few random bits to add, firstly after chatting to a customer that hill climbs/sprints and uses Gripper diffs he advised I add a bottle of Redline friction modifier (alot of them use it apparently)! so went with his word and pulled some oil out and re filled through the breather. First time out today with the new setup so have nothing to compare to!

After a few winter track days looming and only a few sets of worn semi slicks we decided to get some proper wet's to try, managed to source a set of decent used wets and slicks each for me and a mate from a Polish chap for a great price! And arrived just in time . . .

So just got back from a very wet but absolutely amazing day at Oulton Park. First outing since its been in bits and I'm chuffed to bits. So happy and not an issue all day (bar a few pilot errors)! The diff and supercharger has just totally transformed the car more than I ever expected! Considering really they're just bolt on bits on a standard bottom end/head. Even on the wet track the grip and turn in was so good, felt so confident in it. Really wasn't sure what to expect with it having another 100bhp and being wet but feel another 50 wouldn't be a problem. Best time of the day was 2.09 before the phone went flat which Im happy with considering the weather, came down from 2.16. Cannot wait to do some dry laps in it on the slicks next summer. Will be doing virtual laps in my sleep tonight!

Have you have any oil leaking past the seal on the SC? From what I’ve read you need to mount the reservoir and filter lower than the shaft of the SC?!

Did you make your own intercooler and pipe work?

It's on the list of jobs to do tbh but no I've had no leaks and spoken to the chap from Uk Supercharger repairs and he said it would be ok . . . BUT when I get a spare few hours Il stil whip the bumper off and make some brackets I think

Which transmission oil you used to have before changing to Redline?
