#339018 Finally got some AWD turbo goodness

Posted by Miniman_alis on 06 October 2017 - 07:19 AM

So I found a Sparco Circuit seat, Sparco racing shoes and Sparco gloves from Racer Industries all for some good prices.

Got the seat all mocked up and made some seat rails and made some harness mount plates.
Also thought it was a good idea to get a few fire extinguishers, mounted them up on the LH side floor.

Swapped out the tyres off my old wheels to the new evo 7 enkei wheels, had to get a few wheel alignments to get it right.

Finally on Wednesday I loaded up and went out to Willowbank.
First session out and I was quicker straight up, 1:06
As of the last session I managed a 1:03.37sec. That's pretty good considering a 300kw evo was doing 1:01

My app that I was using said I did a 1:02 and reckons I could do a 1:00

I was having quite a bit of problems with understeer early/mid corner, I'm pretty sure these tyres are rekt now and the coilovers might be a bit soft for the track work.e72858f90b147634ca4b27c43995f57d.jpg6107193a1cb82dae91c6e4c26ee48857.jpg1b9678442951bd703abc405133fe1464.jpg6e4ec87ea120ebfbf2b44f5a6e8b0f01.jpgb3cc91a328d1c5f331fda59f98071b58.jpg09ae35866ceee3145493213006032dae.jpg1a7383849b7ab88f09d8afa18d997ee6.jpg46693945e7fbb372f0329ccd4abe626d.jpg93c3a13cd7514a5823c8f4287397ffdd.jpgeab02f2c1efe932bfdc29a6a9e73ef16.jpg06d5d001df188dba1a6f05836bd91b88.jpgab35fc308d1e5f3d050b4104ee813ae4.jpgfef99ca94267356ca143a595a7cc65d0.jpg0820394052cce2869ccd151893ed61d7.jpg

#330659 Too much oil...

Posted by Miniman_alis on 14 June 2016 - 06:27 AM

The crank is smashing into a concrete layer of oil. That's going to slow everything down.

#328133 Finally got some AWD turbo goodness

Posted by Miniman_alis on 01 March 2016 - 10:04 PM

I love my solid mounts[emoji106] But I can understand how the vvvviiiibbbrrrrraaaattttiiiiooonnn can get a bit much for some, so the holes will add a bit of give to them.

I had solid mounts in my Integra and my civic and they were just way too harsh. I put 60a mounts in the civic and it was a lot better than the 92a.
I'm hoping drilling some holes will help.


#328100 Finally got some AWD turbo goodness

Posted by Miniman_alis on 29 February 2016 - 01:41 PM

Nice engine mount ;) Great build!

They are just like I said they would be, Hard.
Very solid.
I'm pulling the engine out to fix some oil leaks in weird places so I'll drill some holes in them like we discussed while it's out.

Talking about oil leaks, how am I getting a oil leak around the #1 intake runner above the headgasket? My rocker cover doesn't look like it's leaking.. and I don't see where the oil is coming from its just dripping from the bottom bolt under the #1 runner.
