Who's ready for pod....

[Brigsy]

Whos ready for pod?

As usual i have a list of jobs to do even though i have been trying to prepare since january!

Put van back together as still in bits & keep fingers crossed the new gearbox is ok.

Tune carb to cure bogging & turn boost up.

Fix anything else that breaks(its bound to happen).

Fit m&h tyres onto my banded steels & test fit, the rims still havent turned up yet! I have been assured they will be here by the end of the week

Remove towbar/spare wheel/other random items to shed some weight.

Anybody else going to have a busy couple of weeks like me?

[D4WNO]

Nope. I have to pack the tent, pillows, booze and Adam...then I'll be ready

[Logg]

Not looking good for me I need to tax, insure and MOT the 5 and build a carb that will take a good amount of boost. I'll probably just end up going in the 11......

[Ashy]

bad news for me, mapped the car up to 10 psi and its running great... Then turnoed it upto 1 bar and the clutch is slipping! Gutted... Just have to run it low boost

[car.crash]

The cars ready and feels quick. It just needs a driver to take it.

[Mr Raider]

Gotta up the boost from standard, get fuelling set up, re-fit sideskirt, oil and filter change and general clean and tidy up then fingers crossed, - be good to go!

[clee]

Engine done , electrics done ,will drop it in properly this weekend I hope .
image1-12.jpgimage4-5.jpg

See if clutch will disengage then plumb in the CC waterworks ....run in then try and get some fella down to map it as it'll be running lean on the new heads
May make it ..may not .

[J8TRO]

Cars all set up, need to give it an oil and filter change and bleed the brakes as they are going soft, might quickly flush the cooling system too.

Only other thing I want to sort out is my Williams wheels, this depends on time over the next few weekends, I can't deck the car as wanted on my coilovers because of the 172's offset clashing with the adjustable plate / spring

[Markey Mark (BD)]

I'm looking good for Pod day, engine is now in the campus just got to play with the carb so it copes with 25psi!

Fix the slight gear oil leak from gearbox, dig the slicks out from the garage (may bring both sets), give car once over then its all ready.

[GTphil]

My list is:-

Fit fuel pump
Fit new servo and mastercylinder(gonna be a nice job!)
Seal petrol tank bung
Wire in rev limiter
Set carb up for more boost! (currently at 17psi manifold)

Phew!!

I have just been informed my brake servo and mastercylinder will be with me probs tmoz(cheers mike!) and so will the fuel pump, hopefully, although I was expecting that today

[Os8472]

My list goes like this

Make fuel pressure regulator bracket
setup regulator
port match new efi inlet manifold
weld up unused connection on throttle body
weld and tap new air temp sensor position on boost pipe
Bolt new manifold on
rewire crank sensor
bolt engine together and setup new idle settings
prey the map will be ok for abit of boost till I can get it mapped proper

[dangerous dave]

Wash the van, pack the tent... wave at the 5 as i leave

[stu21t]

so will hopefully be there,
not running tho would have been the perfect test and tune day for me as well

still waiting on a new clutch slave aswell
now im off for a test drive and hope alls ok and the clutch holds out long enough.

[Adam L]

I've been a bit heavy handed with my gearbox and it's grinding when I shft from 3rd to 4th at high rmp, although it's always been a bit funny inbetween those two gears. The car is flying now though, that i've turned the boost up, it's a bit higher than I should be running...

I'll be there giving it some rear wheel action

[D4WNO]

[quote=GTphil;152547]My list is:-

Fit fuel pump (done!)
Fit new servo and mastercylinder (done!)
Seal petrol tank bung
Wire in rev limiter
Set carb up for more boost! (currently at 17psi manifold)

Also fitted a new fuel pressure regulator. However one of my rear caliper bleed nipples snapped couldn't get the brake pipe union off either to pikey bleed it.

So thats two more jobs added to the list

Fit replacement rear caliper
fit new rear brakeline
fit another handbrake cable (as i mullered mine removing the caliper)

It's always the same, one job leads to another......then another..........then another ect ect ect.

[Brigsy]

Made some progress finally.

Put van back together as still in bits & keep fingers crossed the new gearbox is ok (done)

Tune carb to cure bogging & turn boost up - (carb jetted needs testing)

Fix anything else that breaks(its bound to happen) - Speedo no longer worky

Fit m&h tyres onto my banded steels & test fit, the rims still havent turned up yet! I have been assured they will be here by the end of the week

Remove towbar/spare wheel/other random items to shed some weight.

[philr5t]

i will be there but no car again this year but will bring yards of booze to keep me company

[Jessop]

Somehow i cant see me doing a full VTS conversion to my white AX before the 21st like.. so 1.1 power it shall be lol.

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Ok so we bust the box on the civic, ive got a spare and should have the car back up and running, will be attending this event as we need to sort out so many issues we have at the moment, the cam wont be here tho just happy to get some nice consistancy from the car.. TDI northwest will also be join us for this one with buckos EP3... lets hope its an awsome day..

[Bigfoot]

Mis-fire now sorted. Dodgy dizzy cap or rotor arm was the problem, even though looking at them there is nothing wrong now just need to get it MOT'd as it runs out 21st of this month could be interesting

[asbo]

hope you pootle up in the car mate, want to pick your brains from first hand experience of the adaptronic on an F7P-T

[Bigfoot]

Ill be up that way either in the 5 or the 19 so no worries about that. Just fingers cross all is good this week and I can get it up there. Fancying seeing what it does up the strip at 1 bar of boost

[Coops]

sweet man, should be good, mine pulls 270bhp, 12.83@113 with 1.1 bar of boost in a clio shell and thats crap off the shelf chip

if your not in r5 then pop over and give me a shout, i'll be in grey caged clio mk 1 with white superlegs

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Well spent abit of time this morning setting the campus up for friday, its up to 21psi now and fueling is good. Its little rich but abit more boost will sort that out. Will dig out the slicks this week and sort them out, will be seeing if the 22x9" tyres will fit under the campus archs, if not will stick my 20" tyres on for the day.

Just got to change the gearbox oil seal then its tweek the boost little more, double check the fueling and thats it, its all ready for friday!

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Well Been practicing and timing myself for a civic gearbox swap if i ever need to do one at pod one day, 45mins ....

Going to install the new hondata boost controller this week and should be ready to go.. even better news i mite my cam thursday ill be fitting that on they way to pod with the head on my lap...

Considering to pulling out the near 100kg of balist weight we have had to add to our car so we can race in HKS.. be nice to get the car back to what it was like last year without having to run so much tune so the motor lasts..

[Os8472]

I'm abit closer after a good couple of hours workin on it this morning.

All I've got left to do is

bolt the front bumper back on
get it off the axle stands
fill it with oil
hook up the laptop and reset the tps settings
tweak the ignition and fueling maps enough for it to drive (proberbly use the factory ignition map for now)
And finally pray

[dave r5]

I'm ready.
Ignition and fuel map edited
rev limit raised
new plugs, batery, starter fitted

then booom the bomb drops and I can't go
as it's the birds b day an I've bought her a lap top,
rendering me **** broke.

[Logg]

1.25 main
1.05 a/c
1.4 E2

Was hoping it'll be richer so I could run more boost. maybe a new fuel pump might help. mmmmm

High 11's is ok mate, lean her off a little with more boost My engine with same cam fitted was fuel hungry. If you want more go for .90 a/c & if even more go for 130 main.
