The reason the box had a new mount made off the chassis leg is to keep the engine and box level. Buy a kit off the shelf and it'll be on the piss :drink:

Ok interesting, ill definitely need something shorter than that. Is yours 'on the piss' though? I'd rather do it properly if I'm honest and get Colin's mount fitted to make sure it's sitting level :)

They are hub centric mate so no really issue with them, nice and light too. They are 5.7kg including paint and spacer, compared to my pro race 1.2's which are 7.5kg per wheel. So a decent saving of 1.8kg per wheel. If you multiply that by 4 that's alot of weight off the drivetrain

Lol Matt! Yeah I've been told that before, I'm assuming if Colin's made the new mount that means there's no way to get it flat without some fabrication work? As I said above I'd rather do a proper job that have it on the piss of I'm honest lol

It's easy to get it sitting flat but Colin's kit makes everything better..

Read thru all these pages over the last couple of days. What a car. What a build!

Josh ians sits flat but i completely cut out the old mount and fabricated a new one welded to the chassis leg

How did your walbro fit the pump assembly ?

Will you be going to USC at santa pod this year ?

Yep but requires chassis fabrication, in which case I might as well go for Colin's kit tbh. And while I'm at it he might as well chuck his front suspension kit on it too. Has he finalised the rear suspension kit yet?

Thanks matey. 90 pages - and this is not even the original project thread lol

Yep I assumed that was the only way to do it. In which case I might as well do a proper job on it and get Colin to put in his BE mounting kit I reckon

It was a bit of a pain but well worth it to keep things tidy. When's USC? Ill be back in the UK for all of July... So definitely at FCS :)

Update:-

Just booked FCS tickets & the 2hour track time session woooop :D

Good luck with that session! I will not be doing a show track session again, Unorganised and over sell it normally. Well that been my experience. :(

What date is it this year? Is it at castle Combe?

Yeah donny organisation for track time was a joke. I was mighty hung over that morning from the big banger the previous night that we had so i didnt mind too much tbh lol. Drank faarrrr too much lol

Castle Combe yep - aka Sandys boosted slaying ground lol. It's the last weekend of July mate, just before I fly back to Oz, coincidence? Nope :D

Guess I better update this....

The gearbox out to replace the cracked gearbox casing






New clutch cover, the lightest Race clutch that Helix do. Should make it more like a clutch and less like a switch lol




All fitted...




SPA sensors fitted with Beaniemoo's loom for the SPA digital dials






And a bit more bling' too :D




Ring 3 weeks tomorrow wooop woooop :D

Did Power output crack the casing?

no, torque!

Nothing to do with the engine. just the clutch

Yep mainly the clutch being so heavy that cracked the casing we believe - wont be a problem with the lighter cover plate, and BE box over winter :)

Fucking love this car.

Good old gab straight to the point, cheers mate :D

When's your ring trip? Need to get some bloody decent videos of saxo's on the ring as they are few and far between!

Last decent on yours?

Joey! Where ya been!
