Holy smoke!

[jonnyfox]

Ha that's awesome....I need a pax in your car!!!

[DJWilma]

PAX rides wont be a problem

[Stumason10]

Excellent! That's going to be nuts to drive!!

[DJWilma]

Well just home, wife kicked me out of bed as cant sleep so might as well do something useful

So drive back from JDM Dyno was 365 miles and car drank approx 45 litres of 95 ron petrol which i calculate at roughly 37mpg....manly motorway driving with a few ahem spurts. Happy with that

Few issues though

1. Dipped Beam Headlights are terrible, I heard rumours they were pants but my gawd

2. Windscreen wiper stops where it likes on inter wipe, and stops completely on high speed

3. AP racing pads rattle, i understand this is normal

4. Fifth Gear is pain to select

5. I have a Kestrel Kevlar Clutch, fairly new and they are supplied raw and need bedding so clutch is / has slipped

6. Could get the clutch to hold on the Dyno, we thought it was wheel spin but i had clutch slip on way home

7. Its loud in the cabin, i thought 111S' were quieter lol

All in all i am very happy with the car, 80mph is 18% TPS 50mph is 6% probably needs a little more mapping below 2500rpm but for now its fine.

Manage 6 hours, ears arent ringing but blown a speaker.

Had to fit an aerocatch for the boot though, not sure if it looks right right but its a fix i had to do

AIT temps at motorway speed sat nicely at 13C, highest on Dyno after third quick run was 45C

And best bit, she is quick, very quick only had it on low boost 0.9 bar but its mental and i had no traction issues so either i am amazing, the diff is working or the traction control is doing its job. Must be the first one

De-cat spooled a little quicker, and made 30bhp more at 1 bar boost 356bhp vs 321 so in theory its good for 450bhp (my story and sticking to it in the pub). video you can hear the slippage

Larger Naca Ducts Fitted to undertray

JDM Dynos own built Mk1 escort, 2.9 V6 Cosworth (from the Scorpio no less) 350bhp 1/4 mile of 12.4

Very impressive!

[DJWilma]

The worst video in the world, decided to go for a quick run last night to grab a few beers and went the long way

 

Camera angle is wrong, its dark and terrble editing (give it a few seconds)

 

Std 225 45 17 Kumho KU31 tyres (old), damp road so not too upset with little wheelspin

 

[jonnyfox]

I heard a wastage lol........... What else happened :-)

 

Come on let's meet up on track somewhere ;-)

lol, it just went very quickly will get the camera set up in a better position and 100% it will be on a track soon

 

Looking at Lotus on Track or Castle Coombe 21st March

But need to resolve a few niggles for then

[DJWilma]

Thanks it is a giggle BUT:

Few more teething problems it blew the engine fuse again and looks like a small oil leak.....again....

But I did get fatty weighed, I'd like to say I was in the car but I wasnt. Suppose adding 30kgs isnt the end of the world but was hoping for 850kgs but evo list the 111S S2 as 860kgs but kinda hoped the 804kgs for the s2 was closer

[jonnyfox]

Not the end of the world, my car started life at 915kg...now its 815kg so as soon as its proper road worthy you can start adding all that lightness.

[DJWilma]

I have gotten over the 890kgs, mainly as i re-read what i originally said which was 400bhp per tonne and less than 900kgs.....i have electric windows so the wife is happy

 

Right had a friend over to finish off a little of the body work, like the roof

And though i would see what the oil leak was, took the inspection panel off the engine bay (a handy piece of kit to have)

Saw the newly installed waste gate

Then noticed oil below the turbo and not above so poked a few pipes, noticed the return pipe was loose but no oil above it

So took it off and hey presto......oops

Happy its a simple pipe so off to see what i can do to get a heat resistance one

Anyway even though the engine wont keep the oil in it and the battery doesnt store electricity....its all about looking good ! (apart from the rear wheel and no centre cap)

[DJWilma]

I went to pirtek and the spotty 18 year old with the 600bhp 4wd starlet says this will work, those guys know everything

[Alex B]

4wd starlet... I'm fairly sure they are 2wd and to the wrong end of the car at that.

[DJWilma]

Took the car back to the ever helpful Sportomotive

I wasnt happy with the Gear Change 5th was a bugger to get, so its now adjusted and much much better

Was worried the brakes werent "hard" enough so had them re-bleed them and the clutch pedal felt soggy so had them change the fluid (it came out black)

But main reason was to re-check the GEO which we managed to do to 340R specs but 125mm front

The steering arms were removed, luckily as they found this.....must of been the original bolt from the accident.....all changed to a new one
