Too many sets of wheels.....

[captainbizzaro]

Very nice,it\'s a similar setup I\'m aiming for eventually but I\'ve just plonked a stopgap 12a in mine to get me through whats left of the nice evenings and I\'ll seriously think about my engine options when it loses the will to live.
 
I\'ll take a picture of the whole car if you like as you\'ve probably forgotten what she looks like! Stick is being sharpened as we speak....

It was dyno\'d @ 217bhp (at the wheels) before it was fully run in & without the Blitz boost controller & water injection that it has now.  I\'ve asked Tim to run it up again if they have time.  I\'d hope for 240ish @1bar.  It wasn\'t running that much boost the last time & it made 217, so should be interesting....

What size port you have Don if any ?

Pete.

[Don Pamponi]

Dunno, just know that it was ported &  I think the term "aggressively" was used.  You\'d have to ask Tim at RXmotors, he did the conversion for me.

I beleive they are trying some RX8 18" wheels on it today!  Groovy

I\'ve left two rather garbled messages on your machine so just give me a call somewhen tomorrow if you get a minute and we can discuss the logistics of the operation!

Then there were three.

Yeah, I\'m a bit miffed about wheels at the mo.  I really want the Revvies my self, but I am now 5stud - an unforseen complication.

Don are you still alive mate? hows the new rack? do you know if the 17\'s you have / had were 7.5jj? looking at getting some 18\'s but they are 7.5jj and i need to make sure they fit

thanks
Mark

Hi Mark

Dunno from memory if the 17\'s were 7 or 7.5".
Get the car back in a week (again, hopefully), so I can check the wheels then.  I know there wasn\'t much clearance whatever they were.  RX8 wheels did fit tho if that\'s any help.

Tim got the half shafts machined last week, so I am now 5staud all round :cool !

Can\'t wait to drive it.  Its running on borrowed Cab wheels at the mo, but I\'ll buy (another!) set of wheels when I find some I like.

How\'s ur yellow jobbie?

[shaunwil]

How much did the 5 stud conversion set you back ?? Is it just a case of drilling fresh holes in the carriers, discs and half-shafts ?

Shaun

[Don Pamponi]

Dunno at this stage - will find out when I go get the car!

Shaun

its fairly straight forward a few shims and some fresh holes, there\'s been a lot of conversions in the US but of course all RH drive

Don
yellow jobbie is going great just looking at a 48ida to get nearer the 200BHP mark
are you gonna make it to the old Skool meet in a couple of weeks?
Mark

[Don Pamponi]

Hey Tim (aka Captain Biz) - do you still want the wheels?

I\'m going to pick up the RX next week so I need to know whether to bring you the wheels or re-advertise (I realise you\'ve been waiting AGES)

I\'ve lost ur number, so if you have mine get in touch.

Tim
