JP's 220+bhp NA 16v Mango Westcoast - 2015 updates!

[jpsaxo]

Just a few bits and bobs, main thing to get done is the BE box to make it more reliable, and heavier

[QUOTE=jpsaxo;6409358, and heavier [/QUOTE]

More carbon is required then

[welshpug]

its not that much, 5-6 kilos at the most I bet on the box itself, maybe a little on the shafts too.

Far outweighed by the reliability they give the package.

Just have a big poo.

or leave your wallet with Colin

[Alanaponep]

Ahh, cool. Satchshift as well?

[jpsaxo]

BE satchshift of course Alan

yeah definitely agree the extra weight is worth it!

Sam - where??!! lol

[AndySAXOp]

Carpet out? That will help! Get it out!

[jpsaxo]

Rather go for a massive shit before hand and keep the carpet in Andy lol

[Alanaponep]

You need to donate you old satchshift to someone really cool?

[welshpug]

he wont be having a new one, just swap two small parts.

[Alanaponep]

Ahh, I see.

Is some of Mr Satchell's engineering talents going up front, was recently looking at the rear end suspension.

Rather enjoying going through this progress thread every few months start to finish... To keep my enthusiasm going again.

Bit of both. I think ive been unlucky with MA's more than anything else;

1st box I destroyed when driving it home after my clutch decided to throw its dummy out of the pram

2nd box the quaife decided to shit itself (while on the ring to note!!) , wrecked the box and took a chunk out of the gearbox casing too

3rd box destroyed 4th gear which completely mashed the rest of the box

4th box is perfectly fine but the driveshafts have let go

[gregMK]

Brilliant build pal

[unreal106]

Fantastic work josh like how your bringing this on another step this year

[jpsaxo]

Thanks Tom

About time I did a proper update for this instead of just posting up random pictures....Some of these pics I have already posted up.

So.....

First up a cool picture I thought;





The 'boring' but essential maintenance side of the work done while I'm away by my close mate Chris, brother + dad which im so grateful for!

Dad turning over the engine


Sam & Chris



In PFC again, from FCS 2013




Custom coilpack gel badge i've had made up;






I was back in the UK for a couple of weeks over Christmas so spent a few days (AKA as much as the mrs would let me!) up at my garage to get the car ready for its new goodies

As we started




First I put the dials back in after they had a holiday to SPA to rectify a software glitch from the prior custom reprogramming




Both 'pages' all working






Clearly my mrs thought the new set of SuperL's for my road wheels were part of her wardrobe lol




Engine coming out;






Nearly done




All done




Some expensive twisted metal




My MA vts FD Quaife gearbox that is for sale




Front suspension off to a new home




Car ready to go on its holidays




Arrived at its chosen location all safe and sound
