[Darkside7]

I think the std rear lights look so much better then they were b4.
shame that u had to suffer the damage, just after christmas sum sod put one of my windows through and like u had no spare cash to fix

[slammedmind]

[slammedmind]

So after building up parts for the last two years and not getting around to fitting them the time came to get my ass moving. I lost my job in february so decided i was bored at home so the car would get some tlc.....

some parts that i built up over the two years

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0101.jpg

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0102.jpg

I started with the arches and the bottom of the car, decided to underseal them because i wasnt happy with the condition of the body

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0011.jpg

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0017.jpg

So after building the head and attemting to turn it over by hand this happened...

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0020.jpg

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0019.jpg

yup thats a broken tomei exhaust cam, the timing was double checked before i turned it over by hand and the caps were tightened. It looks to be an imperfection in the casting (2 different colours on the aluminium) you can see the light/dark where its oxidised. Ive had to order a new cam last night and throw in the stock ex cam just to get the car up and running.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0018.jpg

thats all for now..

[ricey]

jesus...:eek: someone's been busy

looks like pretty awsome car your going to have there:cool:

[Aj82]

Nice work mate, shame about the snapped cam. Iv seen them breaking nearer the pulley but not halfway down the shaft. weird.

Car looks sweet though.


Cheers Aj

[Trial_S15]

Car is looking stunning slammedmind & the spec is inspiring :thumbs: Can't wait to see this at the trackday :D

[TM_S13]

I do like those nismo clusters hehe

[Sideways Simon]

Good work fella.... a right sickner with the cam, but it could have been worse!

[chris s14]

great work.very surprised by the cam breaking.did you contact tomei

[Daz]

Wasn't there someone else on here that had a Tomei cam snap on them?

Car looks like its coming along very nicely.

[colm]

Looking good dude :D you built up a nice few parts lol

its a balls about the cam but could have been worse i suppose, does there seem to be alot of tomie stuff breaking these days?

[davekeogh]

Tomei cam snapped on yah, that's a pain in the arse, well you can guarantee that tomei don't ultrasound scan their gear before it leaves the factory... Not so good for performance parts. I'd be onto tomei going mad at them, you should be able to beat people all day long with that cam!!
Great progress though!

[kingj]

sweet:clap: good progress there fella,impressive worksmanship too:thumbs:

[slammedmind]

cheers lads, i emailed tomei about the cam and sent some detailed pictures so just gotta wait now. As for the car it should be up and running tomorrow ive gotta sort some new earthing points and just check over it then fire her up!

[raytsang]

Can't beleive tomei cams snapped like that, I would have second thoughs of using tomei now! You would have thought that all there stuff would have been quality checked before leave the factory. Or unless it was damage during transit. Will be interesting to see what tomei gotta say about it. Anyways super job on the build, can't wait see her up and running again.

[CillianS14a]

Looks very good there Rob, hope all goes well for you:thumbs:

[Sideways Simon]

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a394/slammedmind/DSCN0007.jpg

Where did you get the blue belts??

[chris s14]

there power enterprises belts get them on rhd japan etc

[slammedmind]

cars up and running, still have a load of work to finish with and some wiring to tidy up but heres a quick video

http://www.vimeo.com/5361467

[Keith88]

Car looks sweet man! Did Tomei get back to you?

[raytsang]

Very nice... see you went for a pink engine cover very nice.
cant wait to see her tuned up and dyno'd, gonna be very interesting to see the figures.

[slammedmind]

cant wait myself ray :D, tomei havent got back to me but i had a new cam ordered on saturday via perfectrun so should be here this week all going well

[chris s14]

you goin with tomei cams again.hopefully ill get a look at it in the flesh sometime

[slammedmind]

Ye tomei 256 poncam again, im hoping it doesnt happen a second time!! Car will make its debut at mondello on the 20th of july all going well :)

[raytsang]

I bet yea she is going to be some drive... doing all your mods at the same time.... just be very carefull on the track. shes gonna be a totally different drive and handle to the way you where use too. and your gonna love it:sxoc:

Very curious to see the power figure are
but im guessing 380+ @ 1.3 bar

[slammedmind]

ye id imagine its gonna be a handfull but the sooner i get it mapped the sooner i can get some seat time to get used to it ;). Got some r888 on the way ready for the 20th :D.

If i get in and around the 350 mark im happy more then enough for me and my gearbox lol

[twincam]

Bet it feels good to have it up and running again. I was hoping to have mine finished for the 20th but doesn't look like i'll have parts in time :(

Where did you buy the r888's?

[Trial_S15]

You'll be needing more than R888's to keep 350+bhp and that 2-way in check :sxoc: Can't wait to see the car back on the road though :thumbs:

[slammedmind]

Where did you buy the r888's?


Well im hoping its ready for the 20th, hopefully i dont come up against anything in the meanwhile! The r888s are comming from camskill they gave me the cheapest price i could find

[JP]

Only just saw this thread now - how's the car looking now? Any updated pic of the engine-bay etc?
