ok guys and girls...Now that i have a base 1/4 mile time and power figure,we can start phase 2 of the conversion...This is what it entails.
*Taking the motor out again and doing the following.
-Sort out a rear main leak (brand new seal leaking).
-Send Mountings to get polly filled.
-Cut out firewall and re-weld or fibre glass back up,to make space for fire retardant air filters.
-Re-route hoses and wiring to tidy up engine bay and make more space behind trumpets.
-Fit 1.7d radiator and 2 fans.
-Remove ball joints to slot the bolt holes to allow more movement on CV joints.
-Give engine bay a proper cleaning and spray over.
-Sort out my Fuel tank level sensor.
-Fix broken driver seat.
-Ceramic coating branches

Going to attempt to do all this within the next 2 weeks.

How stiff/low is ur suspension in front?
Sound like u need some adjustables for trackday to prevent the front from lifting up too much.

Or tie 2x bags of cement to the bonnet nxt time :P

Hey JB. Congrats man. Really impressive figures and build mate. Can easily believe you'll be in the 13's soon.

By the way, did you beat that chick in the Z4 last weekend at the strip?

The Z4M?Nah,was at her back door,but if my launch was better id have her.1st time taking new motor on the strip so gota get used to it still and traction needs to be sorted out etc.Her best time was a 14.6 i think,and mine was 14.3,so i beat her that way.lol
