[ross2009]

[ross2009]

To the floor, best way

yeah thought it might be best,
the other reason why i didnt was just incase i pulled by the old bill having some thing sticking out of the wing, they would prob do me for it lol

[maxfield]

Well it wouldn't be an MOT fail if there's no sharp edges. Not sure on plods laws as they're different to MOT laws.

[ross2009]

I just thought I'd play safe lol

[ross2009]

all the exhausts are now wrapped,just waiting on back box to finish exhaust off
new starter motor because the one I had decided to cook it's self and get the other turbo rebuilt ,prop then where pretty much there

[ross2009]

back box turned up today as I had to wait for it to be made
that means I can get on with the exhaust this weekend and get it finished

twin 3" straight thro from turbo bk

[ross2009]

started on the exhausts this weekend got most of the way thro but ran out of materials so gonna have to order some more this coming week and finish it then, as ive gone 3" straight thro ive had to get it up as high as possible to avoid the ground
i think its high enough we will soon see






its not easy making a exhaust on the ground ive started to feel my age lol



the right side isnt supported here so looks lower



im trying to run the system like the original, and follow the original path of the standard exhaust







a little hammer action to get it under the rear beam



just got to order some more stainless now and get it finished

[glenn]

good work ross,
reminds me of making my exhaust....on my back....and feeling my age too !

[ross2009]

[ross2009]

bk up the garage again
finishing touches to the exhaust we now have twins !!!

[craigieeb]

[ross2009]

No flexi's on that exhaust Ross?

na most v8s dont have them, i had one on my last build and it just got in the way. so i thought rollocks to it this time lol

[craigieeb]

You rebel you lol

but just think of all that weight just hanging off the poor turbos : (
and when you start going over bumps etc, something might give.....

I'm sure they will be fine mate

[ross2009]

finished the exhaust off last night all welded up and also done the hangers

[Demlotcrew]

Looking good.

Ive not read through every post, so excuse me if this is obvious, but unless you are running anything but derlin/solid beam and trailing arm bushes, your rear coilovers will bind against the wheel and the inner turret. You may have enough clearance in the droop possition, but due to the nature of the semi rear arm, the damper body will move closer to the chassis under compression. Just something to bare in mind.

Will this be at the Pod this year?

I shall just forgive you now then
this set up isn't part of what I'm doing now
that set up has been on the car over 4 years now was running near on 450 bhp never had a problem , having said that yes the beam and the trailing arms are polybushed and have never rubbed or touched anything they shouldn't

I appriciate the concern lol

yeah I'm trying to push to get it done for pod although as I've said before will only be running a carb no injection yet and no boost, I'd like to put some miles on the engine for now

[manse73]

How's she running now

[ross2009]

still not tried it mate still waiting on a starter which I'm getting pretty pissed off with now they still ain't rung me

[ross2009]

im starting to have serious doubts wether this is gonna be done in time now im still having running problems ,
and struggling to keep it running theres some thing that isnt right we think its fuel starvation but not sure,still too much to do and not alot of time to do it

might even get trailered there just to be there

[craigieeb]

Feel your pain mate,
I'm sat here waiting for my turbo to arrive from the states
estimated date, 25th-29th

Cars are shit!!!!!

[ross2009]

its more the fact that its not running right which is pissing me off there simple engines there nothing to them but cant figure out whats wrong, plus i still need other turbo, prop starter tax mot etc etc feeling deflated

[cypriot_boy_2k7]

Excellent progress man. Keep your head up!

[ross2009]

having real running problems at the mo it idles fine, as soon as you see it any fuel it just spits bk and dies just don't have a clue why

[cypriot_boy_2k7]

Are you using management?

[ross2009]

[cypriot_boy_2k7]
