Amjad Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not sure by how much Amjad, but to touch with the hand it's alot cooler after a spirited drive! With regards to the oil cooler, I would say on your NA you should be ok? But when boosted, I feel it's 100% required, once Oil get too hot, it looses its viscosity and lubrication characteristics! Again, the baffled sump is something I wanted for peace of mind, when I blew the standard engine it was due to oil starvation once side of the bearings, however, my oil was low, and it was a long fast corner. If you're Going for anything like R888 spec tyres, again I feel the extra grip when pushing it hard round a corner could soon cause problems with the bottom end. Have a word with dean and tell Him I've sent you along, he'll sort it for you This is for my GT now, saw oil temps getting to 110c last time it was on track! Yeah I'd rather be safe than sorry with the car as I'll be using it as my daily ride. I'll definitely try to get some sort of cooling going, I'll drop you a PM about the sump now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie1st Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 A tip for anyone, if your gearbox is out for some reason, ALWAYS change the release bearing. Mine went 4 days after putting the clutch back in, last night I changed it. On the plus side, I can now remove a 4efte gearbox in 45 mins! hahaa! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie1st Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Epic fail, filled the car with box oil last night, went for Millers Motosport 75/90, and the noise is still there. We're 90% sure it's the gearbox, which is expected with the amount of power and abuse it's had. It doesn't select gears at the best of times any way under full load. Luckily I have the other Glanza sat there, only ever ran 0.6bar on a ct9 all it's life and feels smooth so should be ok. Clearly wont have time to swap the gearbox's over before Japfest, especially as I need to split them and change the Quaife LSD over. So the plan is, get to Castle Coombe, give it everything on track, if it goes bang, so be it, if not, it's the first job to do when were back J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie1st Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) So after the last update, I've temporarily sprayed my cage black and fitted it for japfest at combe. Also stripped the front down and cleaned everything up, inner arch liners out and re-wax oiled everything. Looking fresh again With the gearbox whining, I said I would take a steady drive down to coombe, not long into the journey, I couldn't resist Anyway, after we got out tickets for japfest from the meet point, I thought I'd head out to the track early to get the car ready for the stand. Worst mistake me and my mate did.. We were all on stop waiting to be directed into the track, then..... BANG! Fucking rear ended by some twat of a cunting wanker in a works van, obviously on his phone or something as he didnt even attempt to brake. He went into the back of my mates EG Civic, which in tun pushed him straight into me. Feel for my mate in the civic as it is completely fucked, and his first time to japfest, luckily mine hasn't came out too bad as his civic actually went underneath my car. Only damaging my spare wheel well, exhaust and bumper! Here's some pics Just shows you have quick these things happen, couldn't believe it. There was people in high viz everywhere directing people as well! Here's some pics of mine; Nothing too bad luckily. Any way, we stayed at the show, and headed off home. I didnt bother with track A) because of the morning incident gearbox was hanging out its arse! Made it to Micheal Wood Services, found a Burger King and rang the RAC. I think it would have made it home, but I didnt want to damage the Quaife, With PPC @ Mallory only a week away and booked some track sessions, I had a week to fix my box. This is where the 'low blow' Glanza comes in quite handy. Nipped over to Birmingham to pick up an N/A Starlet box on the Wednesday night, then Thursday started working on it. Track slag out, low blow in.. Took the Turbo box off the 'low blow' N/A Box vs Glanza box And the N/A box fitted to the low blow We left it at that for Thursday evening. This left me with 1 night to get my Glanza ready for track First things first was to get the knackered box out.Me and my mate took it out, recorded it on the go-pro. 32mins it took us lol low blow out, track slag in.. Knackered box out Then I split the box to get my Quaife LSD out Found some nice pieces of metal stuck to the magnet Then we had to split the box out the low blow to fit the Quaife Quaife sat in place And back together And she was done. Took her for a spin, gave her a quick clean, and was in bed for roughly half 4am!! Next morning, after waking up late (no surprise), we set off for Mallory Park Liam kindly let us park on the Tokyo Collective stand (which I hope to be on again in the future) And here's some in-car footage, the white 205's were going really well. The first one I pass was a turbo'd Pug engine, the second one I catch up to Is Constella's EVO ENGINED 205! On full power it makes 605bhp, and runs 10's down Santa Pod. Not sure what he was running round Mallory, but it felt good knowing what car it was! Check the link here: The car ran awesome all day, the only thing that let us down was a CV joint on the n/s. The grease had got that hot it had turned to water! Race spec grease is needed. (This is why I pulled to the side early) Jamie Edited May 20, 2013 by Jamie1st Quote Link to post Share on other sites
