what sort of bracing is required to keep the rigidity when doing this?? is it riveted or glued in??

cheers

Well,

I didnt build it......just bought it!

Its just been engineered here in nsw (waiting for paper work) and is also a cams log booked car too.

LOL @ mardi gras!!!!

It's a 94 clubman.

Motor is standard 1.8l, even standard exhaust and intake!!

Brakes are standard too, just has hawk pads, braided lines, master cylinder brace

Suspension has tein flex, whiteline front sway bar

6pt cage, sparco drivers seat, daytona passenger seat

Weighs just over 1000kg!

Racing it on Sunday at op gp!

Prev owner did a 1.27.3 on gp already!!

My plans,

Full exhaust, intake, rx7 calipers and that's it!!

I think it's going to be a great car to learn how to race properly in!! Can't wait!!!

Hey dude, nice to meet you yesterday at Greg's.

Jay! Yeah but most likely next year? Will see how it goes! Although maybe see towards end of year?

Michael!!! Wow small world!!!! Glad to see you made it home safely mate!!! Garage looks great!!!

excellent choice chris. I looked at these pretty closely before deciding I needed to own only nissans.

You have plenty of options to race it too, a busy mx5 club, track days and production sports cars.

BTW It will go much quicker than 1.27 at OP on good tyres....you'll have good fun in it.

putting together a little evo 3 further to the rx7 at the moment, its a gsr not an rs hence the sound deadener

always wanted one of these classic shape evos since driving a mates around baskerville about ten years ago

need to finish it off for a mate to borrow to use at targa tasmania this year so its all systems go and should get it back from the cage fabricator in a week or so

using it to showcase some of benson motorsports specialst tarmac rally products soon to be launched and up until last weekend it was a bog stock road car

who's doing the cage stu?

We're pulling off the doors, and stripping the interior out of the new R33 this weekend ready to put the cage in next weekend. The Brakes and rear hubs should get here early next week.

Ay???

Dad got a 2nd car to fix the Targa car, but he ended up getting cheap parts. So we're doing the 2nd car up as a twin to sell. The white car got a Fresh N1 engine, and the old N1 engine is being refeshed and put in the 2nd car.

darren elphinstone from up near burnie is doing it for me.

if you need a bonnet, skirts, boot, wing, gt2860r-7 turbos (top condition) or another N1 engine (low k, being refreshened right now) have got it all in stock!!

You've just given yourself a very steep learning curve, but i think you'll end up a better driver for it. Ignoring my old braking points was (and still is) the hardest for me.

You missed 2 very important things in your list of bits. It has a nardi and work emotions. You already have drift cred :D

hahahah yes forgot about them! But I thought the nardi was standard on the clubmans?

Had it at OP GP today and did a 1.30.4 - 2 seconds slower than my r33...and 1st in class!

So Im happy, as my goal for first time out there was a 1.30!

There is alot to learn!

Braking points is the first....as you said! haha

I just cant believe the corner speed it has! Cant wait to get some more time in it and use the corner speed to go faster!

It is going to be a big learning curve, but thats what I want! get the lines and corners and braking points sorted, then go faster!

All in all, t'was a fun day of racing!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
