I reckon we're about neck and neck with our "Ring Bashers" mate. I still think I'm gonna beat you, no matter what Phil says, what does he know anyway, doesn't even have a RotorMotor!!? V62 filled in, lets just hope the DVLA are feeling friendly. I phoned up an told a call centre girl that I wanted it delt with imediately because I was going to the Ring... "ooohh, we don't offer a fast track service" I couldn't tell if she was being clever. Welsh.... what can you do?

 

Lots of progress... 2 weeks to go!!

Who is going to be doing your tuning for you?


And I agree... DEFINATELY get rid of that wing... it's about as chav as I've ever seen, on an FD, and more drag than good..

 

THANKS FINITE,TOP JOB.
EMPTIED URE CAMERA I SEE,EVEN I GOT BORED AFTR 150 ! ! FEKN GOOD PROGRESS FOR A WEEK THO I REKN ,ALL AFTER WORK/WEEKEND.MANY THANKS FOR YOUR EFFORTS AND ME MISSUS WHO DID 7HOURS ON THE REAR SUBFRAME LAST SATURDAY , TOP WOMAN AND ME BESTMAN RICH KINDLY PORTED THE MANIFOLD TO 50MM FOR ME THIS SATURDAY MORNING ..ALSO GOT THE BOOT WELL METAL PRIMED TONIGHT AND SPRAYED SOME O THAT SILVER SMOOTHRITE ON STRUTBAR,BEAUTIFUL MATCH FOR THE 3L BODYWORK.

 

Nip N Tune Will Map The Power Fc.its Always Been Road Mapped So Never Seen A Dyno.im Not Sure About Wing,i Hate Chavs And Ive Never Thought That,it Was On The Car When We Bought The Rex For Me Missus 40th So Its A Bit Sentimental,its Only Bit Left Ive Not Modded I Rekn ,and The Dash...so Far...it Had A Hks To4e On Then Too,see`s 170+ On The Dials So Cant Be Too Bad.anyway With Time Constraints And Such.i Thought I Might Raise It Like A Porsche Cupcar For The Mo,saves Filling All The Bootholes And The Projects About Spending As Little As Poss

 

Eh, good luck with that.

Never heard of "Nip N Tune", where are they located at?

 

thanks!!and nip n tunes in wiltshire.matt does all the mapping for rxmotors in blanford forum,chris impeys 9sec rex for instance.so thatl do me mate...helps that mines free though..

 

u could always make a v-mount and vented bonnet,saves a bit on the fred bloggs catalogue car scenario.unless u get ure vent from halfords of course!!

 

Any better pics of the hood? Or links to one like it? It is something I have never seen before, and that is saying alot.

 

Yeah, I'm not quiet Chav, or "racer boy", enough for all that.. lol

I'll be going with a FEED style bonnet. Thinking I'll have A/I in before that though, since it does more good...

 

yeah its a standard bonnet or whats left,i made it about 3years ago when i made the v-mount .i found a guy who makes 6wheeler hummers for arabs!!! and he had an xj220 nosecone in the corner of his workshop so i asked him to take a mould from it.it did have three vents but was better with two.ive just taken it apart as the bonnet blew off when the car was part stripped and fecked all the corners.with the new horizontal intercooler / radiator layout i want to duct everything straight to the bonnet much better than before,so it needed redoing anyway

 

some more pics of the bonnet

 

This is the car back in the 2007 season. The wing is an adjustable R-Magic wing, produces a vast amount of rear downforce as you can see in the pic as the rear maintains traction under corner exit acceleration.

 

Pretty cool car to use parts off. Now were to find one of the those xj220's to strip parts from. LOL

Very nicely done. It reminds me off the FEED hood, but with the vents in the front instead.

 

lookin good

 

Nice project! Good luck!

 

thanks all.
cool is good.the bonnets now a major project for next couple o days ,as is finishing the motor,siting intercooler etc once i know engines final position,a small difference at the top of ducting is a greater one when at the mouth and it all needs trimming/adjusting...its all best guess so far ..before finite posts the latest pics ile tell you some other `bits` used.

3weeks and 2days is up...were due to go tomorrow eve..
but its fired up and sounding very crisp.outstanding effort to matt for this and a massive thanks to finite,shaz,jp,stu,andy,rik,gerald and even my 10yr old daughter zoe blu , who powder coated the undertray for me on one of our weekends together and thoroughly enjoyed it.mot tomorrow,then tax...
i still cant load pics but the car looks awesome.very pleased with all the bits given time constraints and exhaustion,which a few of us suffered.
plenty of checkovers tomorrow and a bit more fabricating of some odd bits then its crossed fingers for nearly 900miles....
