Ev's - R32 Gtr - Targa/sprint/hill Climb Build

[Angus Smart]

Oh scotch locks, you mad!! i had the worst time removing plenty of them in my evo after having power issues with everything that was added to the car by the previous owners.

i've had one of them Ruzic controllers in the box for 3 years really need to install it soon

[fatz]

Ouch

[355GTS]

Warm up lap second session around...........guess where the engine started to fail....perhaps I didnt really need to downchange a gear and overrev the engine on warm up....I feel sick watching this replay.......

[Shoota_77]

Shattering. Golf R driver thinks they've got your measure now.

I kept tilting my head back to try and see over the dash! Camera needs more legs! Least of your worries at the moment though!

I reckon the engine sounded a bit gravelly right from the start. It's not like you were caning it when she went pop.

[Roy]

Eek...sorry to read/see you popped an engine

Highly doubt its the cause but its never good going into Honda and popping the clutch to get it back to 2nd and pinning the revs. Best get plenty of practice on how to row back through the gears and in the future with a healthy engine its often over revs on down changes that take their toll on healthy engines

[355GTS]

yes very shattered. will be practicing hard when next out about. its the first real track daying I have done so heal and tow does not come natural.....will keep at it though.

Car is now at track art getting some door liners, rear shelf and drivers foot rest.

Also installing heat shield between exhaust and floor pan to stop nav's boots from melting to the floor!!! And a floor plate on NAV's side to cover transfer case area.

Andrew is going I make a custom insert panel to mount the ruzic controller nice and clean.

I also bit the bullet and purchased a reconditioned 6 speed h pattern Trust/quaife dog box off one of the forum members from Sydney. I was going to buy a PAR gear set but after reading forum posts on them I decided to pass on them due to major ????? On them. Hopefully the trust box will go nice.

Door Trims:

[355GTS]

Floor Pans:

Passenger Floor Pan is getting heat shielding as well to stop Nav's boots melting to the floor.

[sav man]

are you going to remove the rear wiper?

I just painted my alloy sheets with rattle can matt black. much cheaper than powder coating

[355GTS]
