Socks Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 Cheers Chaps. Screw you Adz Well, this car went back to Race-Tech the other day to get fettled with and finished ready for some boost this year in summer! Nothing major really, just finishing off, clean, inspect everything before we push it to hopefully over 400bhp... Engine is coming out so I can clean the engine bay and its having a weeping crank seal replaced, but that's about it to be honest... As for me, Ive purchased these: Cant say im a fan of the vibrations (which aren't too bad to be honest, just use a few more revs) But the engine moves so much and even the TRD mounts are not rated for nie on 400bhp. So its a MUST really.... My next major item on the agenda is seating for the front. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 You loved your TRD mounts, and your Miesters on full soft. But needs must I guess And seats are definately needed, i forgot how unfomfortable 98 spec seats were til we were just chilling in your car at JAE. Your heaters were so nice, it was FREEZING. Will you go for harnesses too Matt? Or are you not a fan of them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Possible. but the seatbelts will stay in there too as harnesses for anything other then track use are a ball ache. You cant move lol! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klyfax Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Powerflex is not bad at all. Got them on my car. At 900 rpm idle the engine is trying to jump out of the car. Raised to 1000 rpm, now its nice and without any vibration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, I just lost the best part of my day reading the whole of this post!! 1) wow, just wow 2) your car is immense!! 3) wow!! That's a long day buddy! Its quite long now! Seen this car at Race-Tech today, looks really impressive in the flesh. You ruddy Perv! Been down there today myself... See below... Well.... Popped down to Race-Tech today. Ben had got the engine out of the old girl for a bit of fettling, so took the opportunity to blitz and polish the engine bay. It needed it bigtime! and all polished up White again! Engine bay paint is original too, so not too bad at all! Once the engine was out, Ricky gave the engine a once over. The sump was removed to make sure its all ok ready for pushing it over the 400bhp mark... Its in pretty much mint condition inside, all in very good condition! Which is brilliant! So the weeping crank seal was replaced, the engine block was cleaned up. (it will be re-painted before going back in too) Its going to get a fresh cambelt while its apart too, just for piece of mind! Then while the sump was off, they cleaned it all up, removed all the sealant (came up mint), I had the piss poor factory baffle removed... Anyone guess what's being done? ;) While I was there, my custom made clutch line arrived too... Will allow me to get rid of the hard pipe, flexi pipe and another hard pipe... Should look a lot better! Will be more updates soon hopefully! Ill keep you posted best I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Kate! lovely looking glanza mate keep up the work Cheers Matey! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, got sent a few more snaps of what's been going on over in Sheffield at Race-Tech HQ... The Sump has now been finished. The old baffle was removed and a full Trapdoor-Baffle System was welded into place. Its very impressive in all honesty. Trap Doors open and close to keep oil at the optimal point for the oil pickup. Something which is slowly becoming very important as I'm going to a much wider and sticker tyre size on the front for this year! Meaning much more g-force pushing the oil around inside the sump! Sorry Tho Folks. Just like the specification of my Garrett Turbocharger. It is being kept a secret for the time being. Not making it that easy for any other Tuners/Fabricators on here! In other news. The gearbox has had a bath in a very very big parts cleaner, then painted, looking nice and fresh! and while the paint gear was out, the block got a freshening up as well! Now waiting upon my new Clutch Setup to arrive and my flywheel has been for another fresh skim.... Before the engine and box can be mated up and returned to the shell! Finally, got this back from the polishers... Looking Good! Should look pretty awesome when its all built back up again! Will it make 400bhp!? That is the question...
