So, my EOI entry for WTAC has been accepted guess they need some back markers to liven things up haha Have some work to do in the next few months to bring it up to standard. Can anybody tell me what the lowest weight "manufacturer's original specifications" for a HR31 is? Im allowed to have upto 15% less than that.
Got started on the weekend. As im going to be very under powered in open, my goals are; -make better use of what the car already has -make the car as reliable as I can -have as much fun as I can. Plans so far… I don’t really want to pump any motor power through the motor as isn’t a built motor and I don’t have the cash to build one between now and then, So ive ordered a few bits and pieces like 25% under driven balancer and lightweight flywheel with arp bolts to free up some power. will aslo be getting retuned as well I have a 9l gated sump to go in, heat shields, new wastegate diaphragm and lines, new turbo beanie as the last one is falling apart. Spare exhaust manifold (old has cracked again) Im redoing the exhaust (this time side dump and screamer) to clear up the back end for the diffuser and save a bit more weight. getting ready to pull the motor. also sort of how the exhaust will sit, basically just flipping it over cutting the end off and adding a bend to go out the side. The splitter and side skirts are going to be dropped down to around the 70mm height rule, just with sheet alloy. Wont look pretty but should help. The hydro is going too, as It makes bleeding a bitch. Front guards have been spaced out 30mm help stop wheel well turbulence, don’t know if it’ll work but looks cool and i'll be making some bracing for the engine bay/firewall here too. Was pleased to see little/no rust Bum cut out And Ive bought a spare set of axles of Tir31 just in case.
