yeah brought one with a yellow pretty cheap. has coilies, microleb, few other little bits and pieces.
BUT looks like yellow could be more of a pain to get rid of so thinking about stripping down and coming after YOU!!! hahaha, altho my budget will be small since im trying to save to get out of working away.
only problem is that its silver, so i need to paint it blue to bring back the old team yellow/blue rivalry LOL

Possibly wastegate is seized ,as i dont have a boost controller, just gate spring pressure , also possible input shaft is seized onto spigot bearing, its dragging me forwards with foot down , gay spec weekend in total, worst thousand bucks ive spent to get it ready for 4 passes this weekend .


Anyway this is a dodgy incar shot of me getting crunched out of gears , its not even a fast run

What times was that run? the launch looked pretty good, 60ft?

that was my second shittest pass of the weekend , it was a 11 flat with 1.38 60ft , its so bad i forgot to hold the shifter every gear, and on launch i forgot to go straight for the shifter after dropping the handbrake my arm was flailing around ***** nilliy
Also i still havnt looked at the wastegate to see if its broken, looked at a earlier run and it said its 37 psi only got a 21 psi spring in the gate no controller and no tune for 37 psi only 21

the motor is good, i found that its a data error with the motec/me , the map sensor reads from 1 bar to start with, so remove 14.7 pounds and i have my true figure , even when i change the settings it still reads high , but it was tuned all ok

another incar vid, another retarded effort at not holding onto the shifter i need auto

Allen, I been thinking the same on my rx3. Would make for an easier build on my wallet and I could get used to the car before going on a crazy build like yours!

Beefy, keep the vids coming! Car is looking and sounding very nice!

did some more fiddling with its tune last night, an im gunna take to it this weekend with the angle grinder as its still too heavy now ive fitted that damn steel bellhousing ,
im still hoping to get it down to our minimum 1900 but ive got not much left to chop chop, funny thing is every time i look at it, i find new metal to cut

i got me new tyres today, both are date matched and roll out matched, less than 6 months old not 7 years old
Putting the roo16 fuel in and just doing a quick 5 to 10 to 15 % increase in gross fuel trim made absolutely **** all difference in the way it idles and revs , looks like i may have to hit the dyno and re map it correctly , didnt realise that oxygenated gas would make such a difference .

Is that 1900lbs with you in the car? If so, that is pretty light for a FC

As long as you dont' stop eating the "hair" pies, you should be ok on the gay thing.
