thanks Phil
i will get some piccys up next week of the new tubular exhaust manifold, the car has changed slightly since the shoot with ppc @mallory park, mainly 15" satin black split rims and colour coded rear scoops instead of the flat insert grills/ help to force more air, and changed the grill for more airflow to the pre rad
Sounds good mate
Have you sprayed the image splits black or got a new set? Really liked them. Ah were you having cooling problems?
Looking forward to the pics
Cool look forward to seeing the new picturesthanks Phil

stripped and rebuilt the 6 speed 02m gearbox replacing the crap rivets on the final drive ring gear with arp bolts and uprating the gear selectors, waiting for the clutch to arrive then i can fit it all , which should start monday 14 may , booked the week of work to get it all done, so will have quite a few new pictures to go up then
Fantastic, i take it this has the capability of handling a lot more power and torque then your old one? Was this the main reason or was there other reasons for changing it?stripped and rebuilt the 6 speed 02m gearbox replacing the crap rivets on the final drive ring gear with arp bolts and uprating the gear selectors, waiting for the clutch to arrive then i can fit it all , which should start monday 14 may , booked the week of work to get it all done, so will have quite a few new pictures to go up then

Haven't noticed 1 but u know HAndy, I dowt he'd miss one
Just shows how big the throttle body is
Awesome! Haven't seen this one before!
Going to have a read soon, looks promising!
What do you think? looks like it in the picture.
Have you got your gearbox now?
Oh yeah, hadn't noticed that, I'm going over there Tuesday night so I'll take a closer look.
Yep got it, it's on the engine and in the car
casting mark on the gearbox
gearbox is in and all new v8 rover mounts fitted
very little engine movement now
reinforcement box section fitted to tie in subframe side rails, as was suffering flex, beefed up the four bolt fixing areas that hold the subframe also, as the original metal plate thickness is like paper
fitted the 560cc injectors to the second rail and trimed the arches around the front wheels ,as they catch on full drop on end to end full lock, with the valver wishbones in place(should never be an issue on the road/track,but just in case
tomorrow will be rose jointed wishbones/tie rods and the rear strut angles then depending how well things go
the drive shafts tuesday
gear linkage wensday
splitter and spoiler thursday
friday route the water/meth injection system in the car and snag any other outstanding jobs ,
possibly mot sat??
Nice one Andy, don't forget to put the clutch in!
any updates?
any updates?
until this clutch turns up im stuck (almost 4 months waitng)
if i had known this in the first place ,would have gone else where, that and being lied too on a weekly/ monthly basis
anyway ,should be with me this friday, so next few weeks will be up and running again
Loving the wishbones
Really keen to see more of this!
once its up and running will get some piccys up and maybe even a few dyno runs
with some power figures etc
it has changed a little bit
Sorry to hear about the clutch issue, hope its arrived now
Sorry to hear about the clutch issue, hope its arrived nowhelix have done nothing but **** me over, they have not even bothered to ring me
after 4 months 3 weeks of waiting and being let down week in and week out, ive ordered a spec job this morning, should be with me in a week or two, looks like i will have a busy month ahead of me

also bought this
[http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-8-BSP-To...02wt_1163/url]
and 1m x 6mm copper pipe for the exhaust collector, so i can measure the exhaust pressure as described in corkey bell,s maximum boost
apart from that ive got everything else sat here in a big box waiting to go on
Well glad to hear that you've sorted the clutch issue, pity they dragged you along all this time.

come on! get it slapped together!!!!
Glad you've seen sense Andy - bring on the power, you've got some work to do
Just reading Max Boost - took it on holiday with me - It's quite a good read as it happens, I can't read 'novels' etc, they just don't interest me - unless it's by Terry Pratchett, in that case I'll make an exception. I need to do some calculations in respect to VE as a starting point.

it was more of a case of finding a clutch that would fit and take the power
even mr malcs tried helix, and guess what.....still no response
as regards power, best is yet to come
Good to hear itit was more of a case of finding a clutch that would fit and take the power

I'm looking forward to seeing what your engine produces
Hope Handy dosen't mind but though i would put some pictures up of his new clutch only been 4 months+ to sort out you geeza
Whats so sprcial about it? Not bein funny, just wondered?
I had a one off centre plate made by helix, only took 2 weeks!
I like the fact it came with an alignment tool!
I made my own by cuttin an input shaft up lol.
The recess on the O2M flywheel supplied was only 3mm deep which means it wouldn't accept a factory fitment clutch and cover. the pressure plate on the cover that pushes against the friction plate has 3mm machined off it so it should fit and not puts the bearing out of position
so what you're actually saying is the Scoff flywheel isn't just a fit and forget item?
couldn't the design be adjusted for it to be a fit and forget?
No, it wouldn't accept that one oli, there was something odd about Andy's clutch that ment it wasn't the common 02M fitment. They flywheel takes a factory standard Audi S3, Cupra, Audi TT clutch. I havn't changed the design!
I don't know, I don't think thats the case, there must be a clutch that fits, it's just a case of finding which one.
to be honest the cover plate is nothing special, it seems to be share the same size cover plate as the sachs racing cover, apart from the locating stud pcd, and clamping plate that holds the 6 paddle etc, has had 3mm machined of it to allow the cover plate to locate correctly to the flywheel face, must amit the sachs cover looks better built, oh well.
it was'nt the centre plate causing the issue, it was the person that owns the company that was the problem
it was'nt the centre plate causing the issue, it was the person that owns the company that was the problem
Haha fair enough.
At least your sorted now.
That was 2010 LOLskeete wide arches now fitted , and side vents cut out and ducts fitted,will get some pics up (cough cough )os8427
if it makes 400bhp that will be more than enough for me
andy and stu cant wait to meet up
Just reading through again - I'm bored.
