No worries. Its been sat in my loft in its box waiting for me to "wear out" the one I've currently got fitted but I'll probably go Z32 AFM before I get round to fitting it. lol
Looks tidy behind the rad there. You might want a cold feed to supply some "unwarmed" air though.
nice kitcar!!
That is the exhaust, not getting anything else lol. Test drive tonight I hope.
A sound recording/video clip would be very cool,
At night with multi go-pros with at least one pointing at the flame emitting pipe (so called exhaust)

Well, it works.
Absolutely ****ing epic.
Yes indeed that is very cool, well done that man
Were you short shifting due to wheel spin or have you just rebuilt the engine ? Seems to be revving and starting to spool quite nicely.
I was short shifting because I was scared LOL
It sounds awesome and looks pretty damn quick in that video, it goes through its gears quickly as well like the diff is 4:1 ish ?
Pretty close Andy, 3.75 diff
Probably 375 per ton ATM. That was literally the second mile of driving haha.
Its not been rebuilt but has all been apart so I want to take it fairly easy.
Found a water leak tonight along with a gearbox leak so got a few little jobs to be on with:-)
Sorry, I've let you down - couldn't deal with the noise of just the 'downpipe'. It wasn't the sheer volume of the thing, it was how awful it sounded on idle; almost tractor like and echoy.
I went back to Clark Customs in Barnsley and we fitted a fairly small backbox and pipe. It's still a 3" system and can if needs be, come off for some loud holliganism if I ever feel the need.
Jason Clark, my mate that did the exhaust and downpipe is also a pro-drifter so I offered him the key to see how my car would perform. I think it's safe to say he was fairly happy with it

I have got a few niggles with the car that I need to sort:
- Clutch biting point is too high and needs altering some-how
- Clutch pedal needs a 'clutch-stop' on the bulkhead
- Had a water leak (this is now sorted)
- Need my new inlet making so that I can get my new bonnet on
- Side panels need flairing to let out the heat - it was getting really warm yesterday
- Swirl pot needs some heatshield adding to it; it was that warm yesterday that it was actually boiling in the pot!!
There might be a few grumbles for one or two on here but at least you stand a chance of getting back on speaking terms with your neighbours and won't have to say "Ay !" so much
Looking forward to watching the vid when I get home.
Cheers Jonny.
Know owt about clutch biting points?
Bleed it again?
Will that move the biting point? Never had a hydraulic clutch before so it's all new to me.
