Xpect Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Okay, so I read all of this now. Till like page 90 on my Smartphone, took me one week reading in the evenings and not accessing other parts of the Forum from my Smartphone ;)I really love how it went, except the parts where something didn't go as wanted. But it gave me many ideas for my little Starlet.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRSbEl_n_vgIt's still online although the guy told you to remove it ;)BadgerSports Inc UpdateWith the developments of Project BadgerSports as hectic and unpredictable as ever, I felt that the time was right to also take stock of the development of BadgerSports Inc, key staff appointments and how the individual positions combine to ensure the ongoing success of both BadgerSports Inc and the three EPs that make up the BadgerSports Inc fleet.As Managing Director, it fell to me to provide this review, the output of which is the BadgerSports Inc Organogram below, citing the personnel that make up the organisation and their roles, responsibilities and areas of expertise.BadgerSports In OrganogramThat concludes the periodic review of BadgerSports Inc. :( ;)Phil.Riko is missing as your Loverboy and Parts-buyer May I ask, will you ever sell that illuminated Ignition Barrel? I'd love to have one, would certainly be the only guy in Germany having that ;)Also you would save a few grams if you lose all that covering parts in the... I think dashboard is the word. Where you gauges are fitted ;)Greetings from good old Germany,Renko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 Hi Renko,You spent a WEEK reading this?? holy crap!!! lol! that's epic sir thank-you!!!there have been a few times when things haven't gone as I wanted, but we have got her there in the end.can't believe that video is still on there! fucking cheeky pricks! i will definitely not be back near them for anything, pretty sure thats where my oil seals were killed right there in that video!I did forget Riko, however, i made that way after Riko disappeared off the face of the earth....we miss him dearly!!! lolIlluminated ignition barrel - no mate sorry, not unless i have to break the car for some reason. However, they come up for sale quite often. Drop a PM to Steve_gt (Club Manager), he will help u find one mate!!!right now i'm leaving the front half of the inside of the car fairly inhabitable, so i'm leaving the carpets and trim pieces. I'm not sure im ready to ditch the dash yet lol, plus our MOT test over here wouldn't like that!!Cheers dude!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joel is also away with my adjustable cam pulley to have it machined and to find out what the thread size of the GReddy oil filter bungs are.Joel has also kindly sourced and fitted a new EFI pipe with a recirc bung sealed onto it - WIN!!!we're getting closer. oil filter relocator is proving to be a prick though due to no bungs and/or sensors to fit in it yet.Phil.

micky boy Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hey PhilJust a thought on your oil leak.I remeber when Gavin (enzo_e492901 ) first started a build thread on here and he took a pic of his crank and there was a groove in the crank left by the crank oil seal!!! He a pic of his crankThis is what Gavin said about his crankAnd something I find really funny there is more ware on the oil seal riding faces made by the lips of the seal than in the rest of this engine. lol How can rubber do this? Im just wondering if you are suffering from this problem!!! and although i think you have used new oil/crank seals etc is the oil passing throw that groove thats why you are still getting a dam leak!!!Like i say its just a thought hope this helps mate..And gavin i hope you dont mind me useing you pics bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveyDemolition Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Always wanted to look through your build thread too see what your car was all about, but kept putting it off because of the amount of pages! But I finally read through it all tonight, took me a good few hours but was definatley worth the read! Absalutley epic build thread phil. Through all the ups and downs and the changes, this car is MINT. I am very jealous haha ;) you've done an amazing job on her and I'll keep checking back On this thread for updates from now on! Amazing car, well done! ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 thanks dude, really appreciate that, and the time you spent reading man, means alot.she's not mint right now, Alan and Joel can attest to that, but with the help of a few good mates, she'll be back up to scratch soon.should have Glanza door cards for her next week from Jay as I threw my old ones out, they'd had it anyway. will probably throw them on as is for a while, then i'll get Mrs Badger to help me trim them over the winter, will be an evening project some shitty night in the new house.next work installment will be wednesday all being well, then it'll be quiet for a few weeks as i have to go back to the States for work, then it's getting moved to its new home!
