nissan factory manuals sh*t all over these alfa ones

Fair enough. I think dad has an old haynes manual for Escorts around somewhere. Love haynes manuals.

+1

+1 good call Ravi.

not so much for crash but for chassis stiffness. The extra diagonal in them is probably a waste but I don't like squares :)

What about just an X rather than the square with a diagonal. I'd say it would provide similar stiffness with less weight.

oh, and will seam weld from the a pillars to all the front suspension mount points. Theres just no practical way to get enough cage bars through there :D

Sounds good. Whats the goal for completion? Is it going to be fairly drawn out ie 2012 sometime or are you going to hammer it through and be racing in 2011?

oh hai!

whats happening guysss?

ps i just drove down stafford road - phantom motors no longer exists?

Hai sexy legs.

nm is happening mang just working. You get your exam timetable yet? 8,10,17,18 and 22nd of June for me. Spread out a bit which is good but 5 exams fml.

Phantom have relocated I think.

Whats there now?

Are you happy with the tune you got from STZ mang? They are a haltech premium rep or something... (gonna run a PS2000 on the alfa)

X's are just as bad as squares. Think of a pair of scissors... although an X with the 2 ends (no sides) might be OK, ie:

rear brace->|X|<-harness bar

worth considering...

Whatever time/money/parts availability permits. Seems to be no luck getting an engine at this stage... :)

i vote racing in 2011

Would be nice :D

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
