Moving on to a little bit of progress.
Decieded im taking a MIG welder to the Supersprint fanifold to stop any blowing then adding some more (yes more!) heat-wrap and that is the system finally finished :) Just ordered a lovely catch tank... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/D1-Spec-15mm-R...ayphotohosting Some tasty hoses to go with aswell yum yum. After chatting with a mate im convinced i need to relocate the battery in't boot so thats gonna have to be done and a nice custom box fabricated and powder-coated before its slotted into place. This would be easier with pictures but iv re-wired the front components so that no wiring is on display and everything is neatly hidden and run through the doors. Gearstick needs to be cut down by a couple of inches before i get a new gearknob on there to spruce things up. Car needs a polish with the UDM sometime in the next 2 weeks and i'll grab some pics of the underside next week when the manifold is back on. 2 weeks to go until some Ring action :D |
go for it mate :)
|
Red, you've got more money than sense lol!
Why's your supersprint blowing? I'd send it back if I were you! Catch tank looks lush! So why do you need to put the battery in the boot? Can't see the point tbh! |
catch tank looks great buddy and re-locate batrery into boot is such a good idea lol ;)

Bodies, cams and a remap would already be sorted by now just in time for the Ring lol! Catch tank is needed i realised at Rockingham, like Rushy did aswell lol! SuperSprint's all have a generic problem...where the Y-piece (2-1 bit) joins to the cat, its bolted on seperately and usually blows after a while which is gash but its gonna be sorted in a few days. Taking a MIG to it and then heat-wrapping over it will sort the blow and make the system look/sound better so not a problemo really! :) Battery in the boot for better weigh distribution? :p Just looks better to be honest and the makes the bay look cleaner/less cluttered.

Danny's looks mint Adz and a great example (hope you dont mind bud)....        [/QUOTE]Seats looked mint at FCS btw mate! Miss 'em now lol :sad: Think i know what the new ones are hehe ;) 10kg weight saving on yours with the new battery wasnt it? |
yes mate it was around 10kgs as the new battery weighs 5kgs. the seats are great red thanks again for those lol.ive got some new ones on the cards anyway soon so they will be up for sale.
|

Arm came with the storm conversion iirc. that was on there from the previous owner. Think its a black pro-arm with a smooth cover on :ponder: Didnt realise how much the conversion costs! :fcuk: but found this for ya which might help dude.... http://www.larkspeed.com/index.pl?c=...PER&s=category Updates coming tomo and wed ;) |
Just fit a bike battery on the std tray with a ratchet strap. more weight saved, better weight distribution too.
|
Come on Red get some pics and vids up will you!! Vids when exhaust is sorted and not blowing liking a biatch!

Looking for £80ovno for both, boxed in great condish etc. Sparco 4 points, snap catch yadda yadda :A: Section in the SC regional section for more pics. Red |
Does battery relocation make much difference at all?
|
Quote:
More space in the bay and everything just looks more tidy when its relocated tbh (whore) :) |
10kg? wow, thats actually a quality weight save tactic.
doesnt it matter that the batteries smaller? or I guess as soon as its running it charges anyways, so shouldnt make a difference. |
Quote:
As Danny said tho, batteries can be pretty expensive. Pic's up tonight of the car and maybe a small vid :) |
be careful with the bike battery it will let you down on the road they dont hold enough currant to run lights/wipers/engine etc at the same time
|
red mine isnt a bike battery its a "proper" race battery, its a sealed and gell unit so wont leak but would cost you around £100.

Now for some underside pics....
 Can see some 'battle scars' on the OMP if you look closely :p      Old tow hook ;)  Will be changed tomo and hopefully my special order stickers will arrive to finish the rear bumper :D More then x |
New droplinks have arrived finally and rubber will be here monday.
Proper detailing sesh and some last touches before we set of for Dover fri :cool: Quick list of strippage that i can remember.... Rear seats and bench obviously Carpet Sound proofing Headlining Sunroof trim and surround Rear / Front doorcards Heatshields Inner firewall and sound deadening Engine bay firewall Spare loom Interior wiring re-wired and any extra removed Spare wheel Wheel cage Rear interior trims and most brackets - Sure i've probably missed stuff out but thats about all i can remember for the moment lol. Power steering may be going soon aswell as its not really needed tbh! |
Still think it would have looked better as a normal car..... but still a good and fucking loud track slag!

Droplinks....   Can ya guess what these are?  Most expensive tow stickers ever but look mint so i had to. Nice tango'd effect FTW.   Spare tyre needed some TLC        Gumball sticker rocks :p    New rubber :drool::drool::drool:      Tyres fitted tomo, front suspension swapped over with my new setup (new struts with PI dampers/springs for the moment) new driveshaft fitted and gearbox needs draining/refilling just to be on the safe side :p |
Just booked the car into Owlsbury Coachworks up in Crowborough for a session with Sam.
Thanks for your help again mate, cant wait to get the car back in Aug looking fresh with a few choice mods :D :cool: Quick chop of what its gonna look a little something like....  Different lights, grille and a few other changes to that obviously ;) |
