been messing about with the car. the new rad worked very well without the fans on (maxamum flow through). i fitted the fan cowl but the temp rose faster and came down slower so i had to drill holes in it. i also re-fitted the ewp and removed the thermostat.

i was asked if it was all worth it and to be honest i would have said , not really. untill today that is.

i have done a load of miles and have been increasing the revs. im only running 5 psi boost and tonight, still with only 62% of availlable revs, i think im going to like this.

it was trying to tie itself in knots. the rear tried to violently over take the front. it really shows the chassis up and has infact got me worried about how much more money im going to have to spend to sort the thing out.

i\'ve got a new diff to go in, and new mazdaspeed bushes for the rear (on the front already) but im definatly going to have to get a set of teins all round.

its not even mapped yet :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin :rollin
ahhh money well spent

no more posts in this thread as i think its safe to say the rew-into-t2 is done. still loads to sort out and will let you know how its going. if the car holds together long enough for rs2 (or i dont kill it ) you can see it there.

bye y\'all

This was why I gave up too quickly with my FC - a \'bit\' of power and it became VERY apparent how much cash would be involved in getting the rest of the car capable enough to cope, more than I was willing to spend on an FC unfortunately

Well done Jason, its been a very interesting project to follow. I think a few more posts after tuning should do the trick. Then u can leave it until after RS?

thanks . just a couple of stupid things to sort out but im hoping for it to get mapped in a matter of weeks.

then its just a full tube chassis and some 325 tyres to finish :rollin :rollin

looking back at some of the wiring piccies I\'m sure you must be very happy to have it running and on the road

yeah. the wireing was tricky. i had to get a mate to do it as it was well beond my capability. that is one of the bits id like to redo.its still a bit of a mess. id like to trim it a bit more as there are wires going places that dont need to.

was going out today to finish off the running in but my wife and kids are all exploding in the bathroom so i need to stay in :reallymad

was checking over things yesterday and found the brake pipes leaking in a couple of places so i spose i should do that:eek:
its like my first car. the brake master was shot but i just kept bleading it back up. trouble was it went from a weekly job to a daily job. they say some things never change:rollin

Did you fabricate the carbon parcel shelf yourself?

t2rew · July 21, 2006, 09:45:36 PM
