Thanks mate, although its been thrown in the bin now haha

Im not cut out for working with carbon

 

[Berg]

Carbon will be a nice touch

How come you binned it? looked good

 

[James.Judd.1]

Because the weave was skewiff and it frayed at one of the edges when sanding it back.
The resin was giving me a splitting headache too, needed more ventilation but its too cold too keep a door open
I have something in the pipeline though

Nope

Easy you two no fighting now

 

[James.Judd.1]

Went too see Alex today and this happened..

I have taken the casings away too clean up and paint and it will be going back together with the diff in a week or so

 

[fourtwofive]

That seriously scares me seeing inside the gearbox fair play James braver than most!

 

[James.Judd.1]

I can't really take any of the credit Alex did it I just helped!

 

[peter_cupra197]

woohoo progress jamo!

 

[Robbie C]

[James.Judd.1]

Maybe you should give me yours robbie??

I dont have the funds for it right now sadly. im shure when it goes bang it will give me the gentle nudge I need to go and buy one.

Nothing wrong with a bit of gearbox roulette

As soon as you hear the transmission whine these bad boys make you'll be sold on the kit

You will have too take me for a spin in yours, I know Joe still has wet dreams about it

 

[James.Judd.1]

One long day spent cleaning the casings!

Yeh that's cool, mine's coming out of hibernation in March for some more loving so not long now. Likewise, very interested to see what the 2868 goes like once it's all done as I think this is the way I'm heading with mine when funds allow

Sounds like a plan, although I doubt mine will be done by March!
I have June in my head, but I am getting a full wideband ECU & loom conversion developed at the moment which is going to be the depending factor on the finish date as I want too get the loom replaced and hidden before the engine goes back in.

Have you ever heard of Aqua blasting? UK company that vapour blasts aluminum casings to come back like brand new!

Is it basically steam cleaning?
I sprayed it with brake and clutch cleaner too remove all the oil residue internally then scrubbed it & ran it through the dishwasher/parts cleaner a few times
