K18 UFO, Frozen White track car, FOR SALE !!
Re: My RS1800 Track car, t. bodies + megasquirt V3.3 are here !!
rs_brammer :Very nice set-up you've chosen Shaun that should give ultimate reliability with bags of fun
Exactly what I'm after mate , Makes me laugh at track days when guys with huge horsepower go flying past you, then only to see them do a few laps before something breaks
So bhp wise I should be looking at around 165ish until the next stage of head and cam upgrades.
But its the noise I'm really looking forward to
Been out this morning and stripped a few parts off the 2.0 ready for painting,
I'm sorting a baffled sump out through a mate of Heemans,
Ordering a rather nice exhaust manifold within the next week or so as well.
Really want to push on with this now as I want to see some track time with this set up later in the year

More progress today guys
Front polycarbs with sliders are in, as are the rear side ones,
I bought a full set off of Luke so fitted all but the rear one as they were the same.
One small problem was Luke is only a fair weather driver
and decided to cut some vent holes in the rear sides, you can also see the hole for the Pro-Alloy fuel cell which will be fitted soon.
Because I drive my car in (virtually) all weathers,
I needed to sort a way of stopping the rain coming in through the holes.
I left the protective film on so it could been seen easier
Then drilled and bolted it in place, can be removed in a couple of minutes when needed
Also made one for the other side and one for the fuel filler hole.
this is what I removed
Which I'm going to put on E-bay later tonight
Also painted my rear bonnet pins black as they were chrome and stuck out like a sore thumb
And one more, a quick roof shot
So next week, I'm painting the 2.0l block and getting a few bits ordered for it,
so over the next few weeks it will be slowly put together awaiting the transplant
So this is now how it will be for FITP

Looking good Shaun. I wouldn't mind some poly carb windows....maybe something to think about.
He will be selling the bonnet soon I'm sure.

I saw a rallycross car today and thought of you. The doors on it were locked by a pin at the top, they dont have door catches. I dont know if they are a good idea, the door catches might weigh a bit though.

Cool, I just couldn't see a take off on the manifold.
V3.3 is just the PCB bud. The CPU is either V1 or V2. Open the top cover and post a pic dude.

Re: My RS1800 Track car, front polycarb windows in
ms-1 is where you can see the big black chip in the center of the board.
ms-2 is where ther is a piggy back board with a chip on that connects to where the big black chip is

Re: My RS1800 Track car, front polycarb windows in
As Smo says, MS1.
The MS1 was the earlier cpu. The later ones have a few more features/faster fuelling control has 100 times more resolution on the MSII. http://www.megamanual.com/ms2/index.htm
Don't know what you were told, but thats an early PCB too. V2.2

Re: My RS1800 Track car, front polycarb windows in
Thats E-bay for you
I see I can upgrade for about £50 to the MS11, thats gotta be worth doing.
Is it possible/worth upgrading the pcb as well guys? if so what the advantages of doing that?
Oh, and I hope you and Jimbo are up to speed on all this Steve because I'm bringing it to you to map for me

Re: My RS1800 Track car, front polycarb windows in
Probably not worth upgrading to MSII unless you go fot the V3 pcb. New ECU time. I would suggest using what you have initially. Has this actually run on anything mate?

only joking that is a bit un realistic (even though you do speed through jobs like noe tomorrow), however any progress is good progress
165bhp should be excellent fun

Probably be taking this one to FITP, so Jake needs to bring some ear plugs with him
Polycarbs I've already taken a deposit on fella sorry
JNE is due a good polishing session and I havn't no time atm.
Gary, You never know mate but its unlikely as I have just booked 3 sessions at the Classic action day @ Combe in June so, I'm looking at late July for the swap over after the RS Day @ Combe in early July
Just getting as much done as possible for it atm.
I'm not painting the other side of the block tonight, I'm off out on a bike ride
But it will be done over the weekend
