Something a little Different....

[Dale!]

While that was drying i set about stripping the engine

Fitting ARP Main Stud kit

Stripped Back

New gaskets to be fitted...

Bonded sump gasket
Oil pump to block
Front oil pump
Rear Main
Both cam seals
Gearbox drivershaft seals
Both gearbox sensors
Outside temp sensor
Outter CV boot
Rocker cover gasket

think thats about it...

For my reference really...

Bonded sump gasket part number

Sealer part number

Cleaning all threads out

Bottom end all back together

Onto the clutch and flywheel set up...

I did abit of weighing of SBS lightened pot style flywheel which was around 5-6kg and the TTV flywheel measured 4.5kg, so a slight difference. (Weights are rough...) Just a little bit of info for people...

Onto fitting the TTV flywheel with ARP flywheel bolts

 

[Dale!]

6 Paddle...

Pressure plate require some of the bolt holes drilled out...

All built up...

Then on to fitting these... I went for polyrace which are 90% polyurethane (hard), after talks with rallydesign they said the average powerflex bush is 30% (which makes them alot softer)

One side done

The main reason was the lower arm powerflex bushes are ****ed already... way to much movement in them....

Cam seals all done and cambelt back on....

Then onto fitting a "later" inlet manifold, only a small difference but everything helps and it was dirt cheap from a friend.....

First off was fitting my HID kit and the lights were ****e

No loom running here anymore

Clean the LET loom but didn't want to extend as there was protected wire in it!!

Getting there...

 

[Dale!]

[Dale!]

Well back from a very wet PV today Great weekend and I stole a few pictures of peoples threads feel free to add any of your own

 

[Dale!]

Bit of a late update, been so busy

A few pictures of his first wash of the year

Sticker ready for PV

Back from PV alittle muddy and I wasn't happy with the spray job on the bonnet so off it comes...

 

[Dale!]

A little more cutting is required for the bonnet too...

Bonnet back and refitted

Next onto stud + nut setup for the rear, then fitted 10mm spacers

Before (car still jacked up)

After (car still jacked up)

 

[Dale!]

back on the floor

Monty and Vinnie together

Thats all for now Off to VBOA billing this weekend

 

[Dale!]

A few pictures from Billing, got voted to go for chairmans cup again but not to be

So on to a few pictures

Montys rewards:

A few pictures I've robbed from threads and if anyone has anymore please add as i forgot my camera

 

[Dale!]

Well been busy as ever and I have even been enjoying Monty in the weather First off I went and caught up with some friends up london way.... and I have fitted the throttle cable, now looks alot cleaner

 

[Dale!]

Then it was that time again

Here are some crap I-phone pictures untill the hard copies are e-mailed over Ignore the 330 one....

Video from the final run

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCMPYISh04U

So after playing around and over 10 runs on the RR he's continuously making over 300 at 18.5 psi. Now this is where it gets bitchy as many say you can't make over 300 on a kkk16 and people will starting jumping around saying these rollers are happy etc etc but if any of you are on seat forum many will know Badger 5 ( Bill ) doesn't talk crap and the rollers if anything are more accurate than others and is often known as the heart breaker I could also compare to last years results (same rr and results comparing are currently being emailed over) These results prove to me with a FRESH and not tired engine and turbo thats well set up 300 is possible... The only problem with the EVO5 chipset is at 4,500rpm the AFR drops nearly 1 whole AFR richer but nothing dangers, So all in all I'm a happy man...




Then onto updating my sticker

 

[Dale!]

Then onto changing the oil and filter + gearbox oil, He's now done 700 miles this year

In the shiny new Mot bay at work

No oil leaks this year... Yet

Let the bitching begin....

 

[Dale!]

Here's the comparison to last years run to this year. AFR wasn't logged last year as it was inop

Well been enjoying monty in the nice weather recently I also bought him some more wheels with tyres More Compomotive MO's but later style 15x6j ET49 with Yoko Parada Spec 2's

Not keen on the white, I will be changing colour...


First off a good clean

After trial fit he was too low, Have since raised the front coilovers as with the larger sidewalls it was too close...

I now need to do the tracking once I'm happy with the height

 

[Dale!]

A few on the car in the dark

Well been a busy week for me so far, sorting the shite out in the garage etc and now finally I'm A happy man......

 

[Dale!]

Little Update as ever...

First off I took the white wheels off as white looked gash.... So swapped Parada's to the grey MO's...

Then I set the front coilovers as I will be running 50 profile's from now on

Front Height

Good Brake Clearance

Ground clearance is alot more which suites me as I do enjoy A country drive...

Then it was tracking time for Monty, with height adjustments the tracking was at 2deg toeing IN.... not good, Few adjustments later he is now set at 2 minutes toeing IN

 

[Dale!]

So post Total Vauxhall Live post:

Both cars ready to go

On Show

Well Monty got more than 2 laps this year which is always a positive but I still need to get used to him on track and carrying the speed etc and braking points but I was happy enough... Couple more sessions we should be alot quicker

Alittle warm in the car waiting...

Couple on track

 

[Dale!]

 

[Dale!]

Session 2 didn't go so well ended after 3 laps Broken outter NS CV joint Balls.....

Oh dear
