[CHILL Gone DUTCH]

As the project threads seem a slow, just wondered if anyone is doing anything unusual or have any ideas ?

Full race build for me it currently looks like this:

We really need a nutter to do compound charging.

What engine is that

Nothing mental but fitting aerocatches to the bonnet and boot (no more snapped cable issues!) Possibly if I find some money at the back of the sofa going to get the quantums rebuilt to two way spec. I'd like to swap the open pipercross for an itg bucket filter too.

quaife

4/5/6 gear ratio change

Full Honda Build including changing all coachwork from Elise to Exige

 

Finish off 911 Backdate and respray

 

Track VX getting painted and some other goodies. 

 

Thats the plan

 

Will probably all still be ongoing next winter! Two of them are 12 months in! 

[VX DAVE]

Nothing major, but since buying the car a couple of months ago, I have a to do list

 

Bought a Milltek system - Needs fitting

Fancy getting several interior pieces water transfer printed - carbon effect

Swap the cd player for another which I prefer,  would also like to work out why the speakers and tweeters don't appear to be very good sound quality

Investigate why the alarm sounder is not audible, fit the new sounder which I have bought

Install a crash camera and tracker

 

and eventually I need to get my OE seats re-trimmed

 

 

Probably post the exact same thing if you ask me in August 2018

In Switzerland you can get one set of licence plates for two cars, and you just swap them over. You obviously can't have both cars on the road at the same time. I have some quick change number plate holders on mine but they sieze up badly over winter if you don't regularly lube them. They are also badly corroded, and on my other car hold the licence plate so far away from the body that the light doesn't shine on it.

 

So I've just bought some new ones that are plastic so don't corrode, hold the number plate closer to the car and don't have moving metal parts to sieze up.

That's a lot of text, just to say you got yourself a Porsche

I work developing engines and lots of ours are compound charged, i'd say there isnt any point on a VX unless you're going for crazy power levels, say 600 bhp plus. The negatives far outweigh any positives.

 

 

My winter project is done already, I cheated and paid Batman! I do have the digi dash to fit soon though.

In the middle of a forged 2.4L engine swap, LSD fit, subframe corrosion fix, back stays replacement, uprated fuel pump, new fuel lines, 2.9" SC pulley, new airbox and a boot mounted Mini Disc changer...

 

If Photobucket wasnt run by doodahs, there would be a few photos up about it

Build a garage/work area like that!!! Probably hell of a lot smaller in my back garden lol with heat
All going well solid subframe bushes,stiffen chassis somehow, front castor adjusters, vxr rear beam, braided brake lines bilstein b6 or b8, bigger brakes to fit under 17s,
Make a way to fit the xev inlet and maybe make a start on building the leh block

Spent last weekend down south in Englandshire with Batman and Vocky. We (well, I say we, but all i did was get in the way and ask dumb questions like what's that, that's this,what does that do, etc...).  We did a load of stuff to the NA including:

 

1. Stripped off both clams and bonnets

2. Fitted new proalloy radiator

3. Fitted new proalloy chargecooler radiator

4. Fitted a new supercharger  (whine whine....)

5. Removed old fuel tank and fitted a new 60l pro-alloy fuel tank and a spitfire upgraded fuel pump (both Joe and Neil at this point remarked why others did not fit the 60ltr fuel tank as it was such an easy job.....)

6. Fitted extended wiring loom

7. Fitted new fuel rail and injectors

 

Was amazing to watch the guys work and see how quickly, efficiently and cleanly they finished up. We had a couple of hitches, but the experience and ingenuity to get over these was a pleasure to experience.

 

Car still down there as we are waiting for the ECU to come back from Holland and then for the whole thing to be tested.

 

My car was a 2001 NA, Cat C in 2007 with 56k miles.  Both Joe and Neil remarked how clean it was under the body etc and thanks to the previous owner doing many upgrades (all clam bolts replaced with stainless, full suspension refresh including GAZ Gold adjustables) the job was made much easier with the clams in particular coming off and going on easy.

 

The bonnets both fitted perfect, first time - a first for the guys and testament to how well sorted VX220BOB had got the car.

 

Apart from a new heater, the car should be good and well sorted now for a couple of years to come and a couple of seasons on the track.

 

Not a cheap weekend, however, I'm sure she will be like chalk and cheese when I get her back.  Final mod will the GARW 8" LCD which should arrive sometime this month.
