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...

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 ;)

I wish that were true at the moment mate!
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.

Sooo necessary lol ;)

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.

nice car one question im doing a wiper conversion with an ax motor, what arm you got on your car mate did you buy it?

Tempted to buy 'em back now you bastard lol! Maybe get the back's resprayed or have a carbon like shell moulded for them :err:

Cheers buddy :)

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....

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!

Good idea mate :err:

Got a few arty fag shots last night when i was doing some stuff to the underside.

Does battery relocation make much difference at all?

Mainly for looks but DannyGti used a bike battery and saved 10kg total which aint bad for a small mod.

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.

Spot on lol...still providing the same voltage needed to run everything (only a small shed) so no worries ;)

As Danny said tho, batteries can be pretty expensive.

Pic's up tonight of the car and maybe a small vid :)
