try a smaller hanger

i fitted this one 2 days ago, it has 4 holes so you can have it long or short

That's a standard exhaust hanger turned 90 degrees.

[jonyb4]

like i said, except this one has 4 holes in it, two far apart, and two close, unlike jamie's one in his picture

the one i got from halfords allows you to have more situations to use it in

[MK2 Jamie]

The rubber on the 3rd hanger is like that. I'm going to rotate it tomorrow and bend the hangers a bit

Who is Martin? Son of Ken?

[MK2 Jamie]

He is indeed

OH MY GOD!!!

Completely forgot about that pic

[MK2 Jamie]

hahahaha totally forgot about this. This must have been a few years back now!

[MK2 Jamie]

Haven't done much to the car recently mainly due to money. On the weekend I fitted a K&N that I got off kip. I've got a oil breather filter on its way to me so I'll put that on the rocker cover when it arrives. There is a hose coming off the inlet manifold that went to the airbox originally and I'm not sure what to do with it? I blocked it off because when it wasn't blocked the car didn't run right. I've got a spare rocker cover, so I'll spray that on the weekend although I'm not sure what color yet.

[jonyb4]

lol that was fitp 2009, i remember seing them take it

[Minstral]

filter charger must add some bhp

[MK2 Jamie]

You should hear the charger whine

[dontpannic]

has that filter charger sucked the bonnet in!?

[MK2 Jamie]

Funny you should say that. The picture I posted was just after I drove it for the first time after fitting the filter charger thus the lack of bonnet in the picture. It's a minor problem that I'll have to work around.

I do believe this is coming together rather well Jamie!

[jordan2litre]

easy Jamie , sorry to hijack your thread but you remember those alloys you sold me .... well they now look like this...

[MK2 Jamie]

Thanks mate

They look like new! you did a good job on those mate

[MK2 Jamie]

Haven't had much chance to post an update recently but here we go. Not much really but I got a chrome rocker cover and I'm in the process of fitting some gauges, just waiting on an oil pressure gauge which should be here next week. Today I moved the head unit to the glove box, now the glove box glows at night. Should be picking up an XR2 engine next week. I'll do the cambelt then chuck it in, no messing about this time. I reckon I could get it in before fitp but I'm being pretty lazy at the moment so we'll see.

[jonyb4]

good stuff, XR2 engine will be fun

not worried about the HU bouncing around?

[jordan2litre]

They look like new! you did a good job on those mate [/quote]

cheers mate , i spent about 5 hours prepping them and primering them and then was offered an amazing deal for having them professinaly powdercoated lol
so did that and put all the new rubber on them and two hours worth of tyre penning

[dontpannic]

What a wicked idea, never thought about that as an option. You could always anchor it down with something but if you're only using it as an aux or radio then it shouldn't make much of a difference tbh!

[- Danny Boy -]

That is a cool idea indeed. I like it!

[hb69]

I tried mounting the head unit there on my mk1 but it wouldn't stay still so I took it out.

Will be impressed if the engine change is all done for fitp

[MK2 Jamie]

The head unit is stuck down fairly securely, I was expecting to rattle a bit but since I've moved it I've done some motor way driving and gone a long some country lanes and its been fine

I would be impressed if the engine was done before FITP too but we'll see.

[Minstral]

that will help the wight distrubution in the car

[Chris 2i]

Looking nice

Better get mine out of the garage really...

Looking good fella

I'll take that 1400 box off your hands if your going the whole 1600 route

[MK2 Jamie]

I'll be running the 1.6 on the 1.4 box I'm afraid. You still hunting for a 1400 box?

[MK2 Jamie]

Chris is the XR2 going to be at FTIP?

I bloody hope so!

[Smo]

You'll get that engine in, won't take a few hours!

What are you doing with the old one?

[MK2 Jamie]

You're right smo, turns out it will just be a case of unbolting the block from the gearbox and engine mount, taking it out and dropping in the new engine block. No need to remove the gear box or exhaust system If I get the engine then I'll service it this weekend and if my mate is free then head up his workshop next weekend and drop the engine in.

[knuckles]

I love how you have done this
Where did you get the guage panel and how does it attach to the dash ?

Got it off ebay, It just clips in. It's made of pretty soft metal so the clips are easy to bend to get them to clip in tight.
