Test fitted some new black diamond grooved scenic discs with the AP's and the finished brackets and the fit is perfect so I'm a happy chappy. Sold the Superleggeras so will need to stick to 2118's from now on as they are the only 15" wheel that seem to go over them with the 20mm spacers.

This is how the wheel sit

Just need some front hoses. Measured up some Subaru hoses but they seem a bit too long so think 197 hoses might be a better bet. Anyone know anywhere that sells just the fronts?

300mm scenics disc's? if so much were they mate

Wanted some grooved discs due to the pads I want to use.

Yeah they'll be better. What you paying for a standard pad in RS-4's?

 

[Cupman29]

Numpty! :lolup:

Not got them yet but DT sells them for £164.

 

[Cupman29]

Few more things off the list such as,

Fitting the PMS shifter and dash with my gauge pod. I've gone for spa gauges for boost, water temp, oil temp and oil pressure. Also got an AEM wideband.

Also trial fitted my new Bimarco Futura seat from the GB. It is bigger and wider than the cobra evolution I had before but should fit past the cage.

Engine bay is finished apart from filling with fluids and firing it up. Hopefully get that done this weekend. I've got a base map from Scoff but not sure how well it will go. Fingers crossed!

End caps still to go on too!

[w33 brl]

Bought a Megane 250 turbo so it'll see me to 300 and I'll keep it there I think, hybrid was going to be more expensive and longer time wise

Thats right, had a senior moment there. You can't have too much to do now then surely.

Pick up oil return from welder tomorrow and start the rebuilt hopefully be done by the end of the week with some luck

 

[focrs]

Is it on the road yet ??

 

[Cupman29]

Is it on the road yet ??

Not yet, trying to load the base map on but had some issues so not happened yet. Other than that it's just fitting the cage and getting it MOT'd to run it in before mapping.

 

[Cupman29]

Mechanically, the car is now complete apart from fitting the cage but still not running. Pics to follow.

Immobiliser issues if anyone could help. :dapprove:

[Cupman29]

Immobiliser problem now fixed. Some nipped wires behind the dash causing a short.

Now just need to get the base map on and see what other curve balls this thing throws at me! :headno:

 

[.GAZ.]

 

[focrs]

Good stuff. Getting close now this time once you get it going leave it all together for a bit to enjoy it.
Or atleast till I get a run in it.

 

[w33 brl]

Glad to hear you've got it sorted lad

 

[Cupman29]

Engine is going back in after fitting a new head due to a timing jump. Should get this done over the weekend.

Also replacing this coil pack bracket

]
With this one

This one will fix over the oil separator on top of the cam cover. Should look neater and earth the coil pack better.

 

[.GAZ.]

How was my old head?

 

[Cupman29]

Very wise indeed mate.

 

[.GAZ.]

LOL

 

[Cupman29]

Seriously, the head was in great condition. Had to get 6 thou skimmed off it but the cam journals were in great nic and measured up perfectly with the cams. No leaks in the valves either. Managed to get paraffin sitting in the chambers for hours.

 

[focrs]

You will be able to ask for road tax for Christmas. That bracket would look great next to a alloy tank.

 

[w33 brl]

aww sorry to hear that steve hope all goes well once its sorted
