I love ur ax, an the best bit is it lives bout 2 roads down from me

tweeqd · 8th April 2008, 23:15

been a while since i posted but not a great amount has been going on. stripped down the GT axle to use the tube as the VTS one i got off here is fucked, thats away beeing sand blasted so needed new bushes, would of been rude to fit standard

the block has gone off for a reface and chemical clean and the bottom end to be dynamicly balanced with the new clutch and flywheel

also got a bargain from an SSC member who is now superchageing his S1 instead of turboing

then went down today to drop of the old block and BE casing to measure up the mount and was greeted by this, dont think this should break in a hurry

the wishbone plates have been done on both sides and box sectioned like the legs here

cant wait to get it back and paint under here and inside

davew · 20th April 2008, 09:03

well just read the whole thread, this car is awesome mate. big fan

top job

tweeqd · 25th June 2008, 22:08

finally got space to bring lucy home and glad i have, i never seen her looking this bad before

but got the front stripped out completly ready for prep and paint, sanded and primerd the bay (still more to do) and started removing the under seal from the wheel arches

also started cleaning and painting everything to go back in

also got the block back from being chemical cleaned and had the face machened 6 thou to give a good seal but thats tucked away till i get the internals

and have the custom lower mount for the BE

tweeqd · 25th June 2008, 22:09

i must be coming down with something, 4 days in a row ive worked on lucy now lol

i went and picked up the new engine last night, this will be the temp new heart till the new one is built, but im also using this one to see how far i can puch the nos so prob wont be sellable when ive finished :twisted:

also went and got the shaft cut down today

the guy said they were bloody hard lol

dont worry ive not gone GAY and changed to this, he was also making a nice alloy bracket for a pug that puts this in a very interesting position

its not been welded yet as i want to check its the right length 1st

and the engine bay is now painted

just the back part of the cage to take out and ill paint the inside (need to find the paint code as the paint i have done the bay in is way to light for the inside :roll:

decided the dash and heater are staying out as i never use it in the rain or winter so its only weight i dont need

and made a start on the loom, only having wires in the car that it needs for MOT every thing else is being binned

work will now stop on her as we have an SScer that needs to be ready for the ring

AlexR · 25th June 2008, 22:17

You sorting out Pauls car for the ring mate?

I can't believe this is taking so long Martin. Sure it'll be worth it when it's done!

Steve · 25th June 2008, 22:23

yes mate the axle is fucked so got a new one and poly mounts to do and sort the tracking, and brakes and try and fix the box lol
not long given joes car back, every time we start on our own another one turns up and customers come 1st so the AX will take a back seat

so would i thats why its taking so long lol

im also having the block played with so it can take more boost and the S1 inlet modified to take an extra 4 inj on top and 4 nitrous inj underneath

gd16 · 26th June 2008, 00:52

Martin - keep us updated on the Rallye inlet

Do you mean so you'll have 12 injectors now? 4 in the head, 4 for nitrious on the inlet, and 4 for fuel on the inlet?
Thinking about adding another 4 to mine, on the underneath - so be interesting to see how you get on with yours, and what fuel rail you use/make up for it.

tweeqd · 26th June 2008, 12:49

yes 12 but the nitrous ones are small, i was going to put 4 nos ones in the top and 4 water ones in the bottom to have direct port water inj but need extra fuel ones so will stick to single jet WI

im using a Jenvy fuel rail for the ones in the head and will prob use another for the extra 4 and see if i can use my aeromotive FPR on both, dont think the standard AX gti fuel lines will be up to the job lol
