couple of small bits my turbo exhaust adaptor is here to run the std cossie 'flange' , also got few bits coated, few more bits going off to be coated in the next week for the engine as altho the pulleys dont really matter the alloy ones are s**t and jump the belts so not using them, i will just redo mine

[MAD_Adamski]

Well not really a UPDATE as such but thought i'd drag this up as its been a while,,,

My engine is now with MAD, been stripped down and the Pistons and rods have arrived today, the engine should be ready in the next few weeks hopefully!

Gearbox- this is now on its way from sweden i have got the Lude dog Straight cut dog engagement, immensley strong and fast changing, ideal for track and drag racing,gearing,,1st 2.5 = 63.47mph, 2nd 1.64 = 96.75mph, 3rd 1.25 = 126.93mph 4th 1.00 = 158.67mph, 5th 0.85 = 186.66mph the gearkit will land then be shot peened and then rebuilt into my casing again in the next month!

Wheels- i have ordered 2, 9'' Mo's for the rear so i will be running 8'' front 9'' rear! These will be painted anthercite.

Car currently on its way to Jamies to have some small tweeks 1 or 2 little things fixed jamie forgot to do last time. He will paint the rims and give it a good cleaning!

The car will then be heading to my friend who is a rally car builder, who will pick my engine up from MAD and fit it all into the car and take the car to his mates to have the external wastegate modded and get the car running! Mark will give me a base map to make it run, then when all done it will go down to mark to be fully mapped and full boost applied!

Hoping for 500-550hp altho i know my inlet will be the restricting factor now.

So back on the road late 2010

That gearbox does sound a little special. Where is the car? With Jamie?

[MAD_Adamski]

if not there will be soon, they have been VERY busy they just keep getting busier and busier since there new workshop! hence even with the huge space they couldnt fit mine in yet .... but it was meant to go in this week...

[Ghost]

Gaaaaayyyyyy

[MAD_Adamski]

new wheels have had tyres put on and put on the car

December this year, or.....

[MAD_Adamski]

this year you cheeky fcuker! altho hasn't mine been on the road more than yours in the last 3 years and mines not been driven for 2 now

[muz]

my Poor cars done around 500 miles in the last 11 or 12 years!

I'm aiming for X Mas aswell, bit further finished than my thread suggests, so I'll have o pop up and see you when it's done.

[EUFez]

What a machine!

[MAD_Adamski]

well 2 years on i went and dusted the cob webs off , there was a birds nest under the bonnet :!!!

basically i took some parts over and also picked parts up my mate is on standby now for when mark had done the engine he will stop what he is doing and get my car done!

decided to go with the hart inlet so that will be happening now, but the car has been washed clean rear rims on now, fronts have been painted over the weekend getting few things powdercoated as i had them crackled and its peeled over the last few yrs alot still to do but getting there now alot to come over the next month!

[Excursion]

The front arches look wierd mate IMO, they're just too high. It looks like a rally car set up for gravel at the front, but not the rear...

[MAD_Adamski]

it looks s**t bro cause its too high, yes the engine is out BUT even then its too high i never got round to lowering it before it went off the road as it was about 20mm to high... but it is so tricky to get it spot on each corner matching it takes ages so will be done in the near future

sounds good

[MAD_Adamski]

well after 2 years of prep and hard work to get the engine sorted, my engine is ready for pickup off mark... (MANY THANKS TO HIM AND DEAN!) always been so helpful and always ready to talk... I should be picking it up this week, my inlet will be here this week too. The gearbox is on the way from sweden right now....

Ready for christmas!? Would be a great present will have to see. Then i just havee to run it in

[MAD_Adamski]

[MAD_Adamski]

ok went down today and got the engine in :top:












got my centre caps on the rear wheels and replaced the nuts with the black ones!







so few hours down the line and we get it in and begin to hook it up...















then grabbed a pic of neil who was helping me he builds and races rally cars





And thought i'd throw in a picture of his dads darrian as he was fiddling with it





got quite far with it really but got to a bit of a rut now as most the parts that need to go on now need other things first, missing a few parts to be able to build it back up, so hopefully have these bits in the next week or 2......

but then 1 problem i have is i have my hart throttle cable kit but i cant see how it works!?


heres the kit



and heres the TB


:dunno::dunno::dunno:

[MAD_Adamski]

ok so finally my dogbox is here and is sat next to the car waiting to fit tomorrow, due to the gearbox i decided the std gearshift may not be up to the job so i invested in a proper shifter. Also my new manifold arrived but due to a miscomunication will be going back in favour for the same one but in twin scroll. me header tank and other parts have been coated black also and ready to refit.

So hopefully by tomorrow evening the car should be ready bar the turbo and manifold being fitted ...

[Excursion]

:top: :top:

[Rhinopower]

If you ever finish it! Lol

[MAD_Adamski]

kiss it! ive been held up by people i wish i had ordered the parts when i didnt have the money then they would have been ready when i did! just smaller things to sort now like oil drain and oil feed pipes... really wanna get it done by the end of the month!

[MAD_Adamski]

ok so after a day of graft got quite abit done, gearbox is now on, and the inlet and various other things, the new manifold is yet to arrive so we can bolt the turbo on. My mate is going to fit the gearshift for me in the next week or two and then we can crack on with all the niggly bits, tbh were 90% there now...

[RS rob]

looks amazing!!

[Xr_Dub]

you crazy cunnnt lol
just drive it you wink stain lol

hope your good mate and beeeeesnass is going well lol love thou love your car way more

[MAD_Adamski]

ok right well now the manifold has come we can start moving again really wanna get it finished now or it'll never get done!

had to order a new exh housing to go with my manifold as its twin scroll, that came in 2 das from the states!

so threw it on today looks good!









so im working as usual all week then my birthday w/e this w/e so will be out, so hopefully the weekend after we will get cracking on the car and get it somwhere near one that weekend!

[MAD_Adamski]

OK so we got the oil in the box, diffs, engine etc etc just a couple os small jobs then the water can go in the only main job really left is the exhaust system, due to the changes it needed the downpipe modding but unfortunatly my mech managed to accidently lower the ramp onto the welder and break the regulator, SO we couldn't tac it in place for me to take to be welded however in the next 2/3 days were hoping to have everything done and ready to fire.... Neil is going to turn it over tomorrow and get the oil pumping round, then ready for a proper startup when the downpipe is done.

still alot of small things to be done tho like the heat shield when the exhaust and turbo is properly finished, turbo damper but should all come together quite quickly now!

[jonyb4]

just finished reading the whole thread, amasing car

[Russ FRST]

just finished reading the whole thread, amasing car

Agree Top car mate

[MAD_Adamski]

well we got the car turned over and got oil pressure there now the downpipe was modded today, so hopefully tomorrow the car will be running and then last bits of prep, lower the front end and few other parts then the car is off to MAD for the Run in map time for me to finally drive it again and get the small bits done i need doing like the stereo back in and things like that...

[jonyb4]

i love that you use it as a daily, even gods need to be used!

i dont really understand people who lock theyre RS's and other sort after rare cars away most of theyre life and are s**t scared of letting a puddle splash over it

[MAD_Adamski]

ok today was D day after all the hard work and time and labour it started for the first time, stil alot of things im not happy with and wanna do but for now it works, neil is going to sort the last few things out for me and get it ready to go to marks for the run in map midweek!





Few things i have a problem with that i may need help with, first major one

1. the airbox will NOT fit due to the wastegate which means i need a cone OR a custom airbox made but what can i use for mark to base map it?

2. the roose hose connecting to the intercooler is too big i did order one for a std intercooler outlet but he sent me a 3'' i think now will he make one smaller or do i have to chop the frigging cooler :headbang:

Good news Some advice: sort the niggly things now before it's on the road, otherwise they will remain unfinished any annoy you forever

[MAD_Adamski]

not entirely mark, the niggly things are things like paint, and centre console etc but i need the car with me to do them its an hour away atm but everything will get done i did alot of niggly things yesterday time is the key
