Yeah, those are the ones. :)
They're from either the 1.8 turbo or 2.0 turbo, not 100% sure which one. The VAG part number is 06B905115R if you or someone else feels like finding out about them. They're commonly used in...
Oh, I almost forgot to thank my supporters and sponsors. Our family business Martelius-Exhaust and my parents and brother for being my pit crew, MTS Racing engines for mapping...
Race #3
We had a bit of an aerodynamic experiment between the races. I designed a front splitter for the car and it made a huge difference to the handling, from mild understeer to heavy oversteer...
Thought I'd write a little something about what's been happening after the last updates from which it's been a while.
Results in 2007 were a bit of a disappointment after the great debut season...
Damn, I need to visit here more often. Great build going on, going to be a quick one it seems. :) Which model of the Turbonetics' range is the turbo? How much boost are you going to run?
You...
I want to come to Silverstone again! Is this TRAX show a good one then? :)
Got it from a local company in Finland, I recall the price was approximately same in some British dealer as well. Can't remember the name of the UK shop though.
Some pics of today's work with the new bellhousing.

Took me a while to find this again, quite scary when I can't even keep up with my only own thread in the whole forum! :smash: How much money you want to keep it stabilized for a while then? :sxoc:
...
Not yet, sorry. Had to work through the weekend at the car show in Helsinki so the Silvia hasn't progressed from the last update. Will get busy with the project at the end of this week so watch this...
Since the car's underweighted I did make the bodykit quite strong. The rear overfenders are just riveted to the body and glued on some spots. Other parts are with some quick release "dutz" thingies,...
There seems to be some interest in the body parts, and I actually was going to start making them for sales but with a bad experience from the first customer never paying me the money after the parts...
Nope, the shaft is a lot bigger in the Tremec so at least the discs need to be different. I just ordered new discs with the Ford V8 fitment to my Alcon item.
Hi Danny, sure I'd like to come over this year too, any ideas on when to? Would've been nice to see the drifting at Silverstone in June 3rd but unfortunately I can't make it then.
Yeah, I came fourth in the last race of last season even with the broken gear box. Once the reliability of the car is sorted with the Tremec and we can actually test the car, I suppose the gap to the...
Mine is the road racing version with the following ratios:
1st = 2.87
2nd = 1.89
3rd = 1.28
4th = 1.00
5th = 0.82
R = -2.56
Longer 1st and shorter 5th than in the S14 box, nice and close...
Yes, the first one was completely standard and number 2 only had a better 5th & reverse shift fork. Had no time to change to anything else mid-season either.
Chris: It indeed does, was a long wait...
Long time no post guys, basically just because nothing has happened with the car untill lately. :( I'm back though, should be rocking the tracks well before the season opener at June 10th. A couple...
Feel like coming over for some sideways 4WD action yet? :wave: But seriously, has to be done at some winter, sooner or later. Nothing beats the icetrack.
Cheers for the comments.
Song is Live - Deep Enough. A remix version of that is indeed played in F & F 1 for one scene.
Greetings from the (finally) snow-covered Finland! Bet this is something different for you, so thought I'd share some videos...
What I'm on about is the first icetrack meeting of the winter, held...
But it's also the first one to have more electronic stuff. At least Tommi Mäkinen didn't like the way it handled, never driven one myself so can only quote others.
Was going to start a new thread, but this one will do fine. :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all SXOC users, specially those we had the pleasure meeting at Silverstone or Half way House...
