Hey Guys,
Been a long time since my last update and the car has undergone further work, there has been teething problems with the parts i hadnt thought of during the build. The Tein coilovers completely collapsed in the left rear at the Texi day, this along with the BOV blowing clean off the pipe and me not making any boost was the result of a rather dissapointing day. Coilover solution -
These BC BR Coilovers will go in this week, i used Street To Track to source them and they were good to deal with and the price was great!!!
Second victim of abuse was the clutch, we didnt think it would hold the power for too long but launching ended its life rather abruptly once the clutch slipped too 8000rpm and welded itself to the pressure plate, it was amusing at first but having to pull the box out on the weekend was a pain in the ass, after numerous LONG chats with Jim Berry at Race Clutch i have decided to go with a custom built clutch that should suit all styles of driving, Jim has been extremely helpful and has been educating me on How and Why they fail etc which i was really happy with!!!
You can see it got a little hot and decided to weld itself to the pressure plate, its toast!!!
The Third issue i am having is the ethanol sensor and the bad batch of fuel i had, JEM have been helpful with this so far (Must also say a big thanks to DVS JEZ for helping as well), i will update more on this topic once i know more, no point me guessing or blaming parts that i do not understand lol
More updates will follow over the next few weeks.
