I'm catching up slowly, mines been on the drive since FCS 2007, it did move briefly in 2008 when I took it for an MOT and it passed with a knackered rear diff and a leaky HG :icon_lol:

Looking good Andy, real good !

 

[Andyquadra]

AP 4 pots

Thought I'd better put up some pics of these big beauties and brackets

with only 3mm between the disc and hub, I was a bit stumped on how to bolt the bracket on! I wasn't going to space the disc away from the hub so I came up with this



Then all I had to do was drill 4 holes in the right places like this

and you get something like this

Like Jo said mate, It's looking good

 

[Andyquadra]

Only had about 2 or so hours spare this weekend :icon_sad:
Anyway got on with a bit of exhaust making




I'm very pleased as I'm past the prop center bearing and its only 1-1 1/2inch below the underneath of the car, and its 3" with a silencer just after the gearbox. Because I'm going for a side exit I'v gone for 2 silencers as the 2 1/2" side exit I had before only had 1 silencer and that was like a jet engine on boost!

Andy

 

[danb]

umm, why side exit?

 

[Andyquadra]

umm, why side exit?

You never been in a car with a side exit? FPMSL Turbo lag is halfed, boost hits you harder than a sledge hammer and when it comes on boost.....its like a jet engine! AND it the flames.... best I had was about 2 feet, more than enough to get ankles! LOl
Dan, I'v still got the old side exit, you might be able to make some use of it?

Andy

 

[DaveL485]

I think thats the first sidey we made.

Bit rude wasn't it :icon_lol:

 

[danb]

LOL what diameter is it,

didnt think it would have any effect on the engine, but hey I've learnt something..God I love you guys


LOL!

I was trying to figure out what was different about your prop - then I realised you've got a different donut!

Get some pics up of around the prop after the strengthening plate for comparison purposes.

Are you using stainless wire?

Looking good though mate....excellent stuff

Lee

 

[Andyquadra]

Yer was useing .8mm stainless wire but I only had a co2/argon mix and not pure argon. Whats different with the dounut? and what strengthening plate?

Andy

 

[danb]

your centre bearing is different, or atleast different to both of mine!

 

[Andyquadra]

maybe its been replaced at some point, but I'v had the car for 6 years

Andy

 

[Lee_R21Turbo]

Basically everything in this photo...LOL

 

[Andyquadra]

God, a prop bearing like that would make my life sooooooooo easy! The strengthing bar that links the transmission tunnel was redesigned when the last 2 1/2" exhaust was made due to lack of space, also maybe thats why my center bearing hasn't needed to be replaced yet?


Andy

 

[-Jo-]

the pic from Lee shows the original bearing mate.

 

[danb]

yeah your bearing is very odd Andy LOL
