Wouldnt have happened if he had the lifejacket on! You couldnt have got your head close enough to the engine bay with that stupid thing on

[Calsonic14U]

I know why it couldnt be fixed, you were to busy pulling some idiots black 32 out of the sand

Lololol well yes you did manage to take up some precious time jks

I agree, hard pipes are a better idea but welding a bend to the turbo makes it almost impossible to sell. Straight joiners on a cast alloy 90 may be a little better but it will limit your power as the internal diameter is much smaller.

I was running 40psi through mine, 2 inches from the maifold. Perhaps yours is just too close, can you spin the housing a little?

There are some great heat insulating and heat reflection products out there these days, no need to change the setup imo.

I run a 45deg silicon bend exactly the same as yours, on the track punishing it for 20 mins at a time running 21psi it was fine. Has held up to two of those track days now. But as scotty said, mine sits probably 4-5 inches from exhaust manifold and has zero issues.

I dont think resale is an issue as i am so happy with the results and performance i dare so i wont feel the need to change

Ill try the alloy elbow off the housing as i dont want to restrict any performance!

Good point about rotating the housing, that is something i hadnt thought of and will have a look, could be possible even if its just a bit...

Yep so i think mine is too close to the mani for one as i can only just get my hand between it.

Ill just get it welded up and do it right this time i think! I need to eliminate any potential problems!

So the car has its new home and i will try get my tools and stuff across there on the weekend! I think the shed will need its own build thread so i can come up with some designs... At this stage i am working on something like this -

Then maybe i should coat this white and do the white writing on the tyres?

Nice S chasis! does it chirp 2nd!

also in response to mr liths comments a few pages back.. do a 1:06 with smoke and skids JOB DONE!

[34GeeTeeTee]

It wheelstands 4th if that helps I think i need to do some adjustments on the foot pedal lolz

And agreed with the comments above, working on it

[34GeeTeeTee]

So, no real updates here... Moving house took a lot longer than expected and since doing that we have had no internet and no phone service hence we have been in the stone age!

I have started working on the shed as planned and its coming together as per my rough floor plan -

Also, The LOWDOWN.com guys now have the pics online from the JEM shoot, check out the workshop feature if you get a chance -

[34GeeTeeTee]

As some of you know the car is back at its second home.... JEM....This visit is just to fix a few weak spots we found at the track day....

Hopefully when it returns to the road it will also be quite capable on the track, 2014 will be more focussed on track days and hopefully will get some good laps in without issues!

This photo is thanks to Mr Paul Kelly -

It looks like shit as its been towed in the rain twice since the track day some serious TLC needed once it comes home!

Haha... And yes!

[Manuel Kasko]

If only Paul had one of those

[34GeeTeeTee]

If only Paul had one of those

lolz

[gtr jet]

If only Paul had one of those

Hahaha so so wrong

[34GeeTeeTee]

Well the track day issues are a bit clearer now the car has been pulled apart, This would explain a LOT -

[34GeeTeeTee]

As you can see in the image here the turbo elbow is now on the housing so that should get rid of that issue!
