New soft top first. Like the look of the hard top but like to drop the top whenever I like more

Do you know how much poke you were making after you fitted the charge cooler and injectors?

 

Mod's, I've just noticed there is a readers rides section.. Maybe it's worth moving this thread there ?

this is probably not the section I would hope it is   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

The charge cooler and injectors took me from 7psi boost to 12psi.. So the answer is, lots of poke   s:D s:D

Update

Fitted these


Pretty stickers for my wheels


Got rid of the battery out the engine bay. Moved the air filter to the side intake vent


Moved the charge cooler away from the engine. It was too cramped. Fitted the proper maf pipe, mine was bodged


Made a battery cage

Hey Lee, I know you are looking for a solution for your engine lid stay. Search for "cheapo gas struts" on here and you will be a happy chappy  s;) s;)

 s:) s:)  Finally sorted my arch gaps

Butchered some Porsche Cayenne wheel arch trims

Mods...Is it possible to move this thread into readers rides? I'd rather it be viewed by members only and  Incentive to keep it updated in the right section.   s:D s:D  

See pics

[Leethesparky]

A few jobs will be done over the next week or so, will post pics as they happen

I've got some variable force gas struts to fit on the engine lid. I bought variable ones as I didn't know the force needed to lift the spoiler

Braided hoses for the brakes

I'm going to modify a fuel rail to be a return system with a rising rate regulator and upgrade the fuel pump to a walbro 255l
Plan is to cut the ends of the fuel rail, gas weld on some thicker ends, drill and tap for an6 connectors then replace all the fuel lines for braided.

[Leethesparky]

Oh and replace the clutch master and slave because my clutch is playing up. Biting point keeps moving around, sometimes won't release, sometimes difficult to get in gear. But won't post pics as that's boring   s:D s:D



Here is one not so boring,


As I have moved the battery to the front I've gained some space, so made a header tank for the charge cooler
Not the best welding, but this car is diy   s:D s:D  

I've also changed the ecu for a emanage ultimate now too

[stupink]

Not sure if it's been said. You probably know anyway. But make sure you compress the slave when bleeding.. personally I just use a vacuum bleeder and it pulls thru fine once compressed. Sounds like you just have air.

I thought that stu, I've bled it twice and seems to sort it for half hour then goes funny again. I decided to give up and just change everything. I've not seen vacuum bleeders, only the other type that uses the tyre air. I will have a look for those

[Leethesparky]

Fitted the gas struts. Used ones with variable force as I didn't know which to buy for the heavy spoiler.



Fuel regulator delivered so hopefully fitting this weekend.



Whilst I'm doing stuff in the engine bay I might paint it either red or black and tidy it all up.

[Leethesparky]

A few update photos from the last month.

Fitted rising rate regulator and walbro fuel pump and emanage ultimate ecu




Then started to tidy up the engine bay



And do some tuning

[Leethesparky]

Fitted braided brake hoses

[Leethesparky]

Made a front splitter out of aluminium and covered with carbon wrap stuff

[Leethesparky]

Rear wing was flexing so made some brackets to lift it and plated it under also to strengthen it

[1979scotte]

Look good Lee.
Got a link for the fuel pressure reg?

[Leethesparky]

Cheers

It's a not so cheap eBay one.

liking the splitter looks nice suits the front end well

cheers tommy

Cheers I was pleased how it turned out

[jvanzyl]

Phenomenal attention to detail man  :-) :-) :-)  

That front splitter is totally marketable as a product!

[paul.mcgrath]

How does the  turn in feel with the splitter fitted ? any noticeable difference .....

great car mate !!

Cheers, I spotted the push on trim whilst looking at splitters on google, so stole the idea. Thought it finished it nicely.

There is quite a big difference now, but I don't know what's changed it, as I lifted and changed the angle of the wing too.

The car floated around a little on the road, now it feels more solid. Definately a difference but not sure why

[paul.mcgrath]

I want to get rid of that "floating feeling" aswell , how wide are the spacers youre using with the bodykit ?
