Staying 2.6 with this car Paul or will you stroke it?

Needs to be a 2.6 for this one for the rally regulations. I believe if I put a 2.8 in it I would need to enter it as a z-tune, due to the year it was made it would bump me up into modern so up against R35's, Lambo's etc. Maybe in a few years the z-tune will get bumped back to early modern and would go 2.8 then.

I Like the colour 8)

:yes: Me too. Not quite KY0 but as close as I think you get in the standard 34 colours.

These tend to go well with the silver.... z-tune front bar, and mu secret s-tune copy bonnet

New bumper reo, EFI loom and a couple of other bits I didn't end up needing because the z-tune bar is one piece where the factory is two. I do have a factory bar that came with the roller in case the targa regs force me to go back to standard gear so will come in handy then.

Engine and gearbox ready to be taken off the subframe and dropped off at Race Pace.

Was originally going to suck it and see if the engine was ok, but thought better and ended up getting it all pulled apart. Was the right choice because there was an 8 thou bend in the middle of the crank, a spark plug tip had come off and damaged the bore a little, and the turbo bearing cages were not in the best shape.

New R34 crank, machining, 87mm pistons up from 86.5mm, new bearings and consumables, reco of the turbos and a good check over everything else.

And the finished product including wing. Once the front diffuser goes on it really completes the look but looking pretty tough at this stage.

At this point a lot of my time starts getting wasted staring at it from different angles.

Cheers yeah there have been many late / all nighters, rolling around on creepers, misplaced tools, gritty eyes and grubby hands - and of course lots of swearing!

It's all worth it now its all up and running, engine running sweet, suspension set up right and blasting around the tracks having fun.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
