Chris, what did you do to refurb the lens covers?

I've got a similar problem with mine and until gforce8 or fez come up with replacements, I'm gonna have to do something similar to you

 

Just a sh*t load of wet sanding from 600 to 1500 and lots of polishing with a G220. it took hours and its still not great.

Chris, I'm in need of a new pump for my NA so could you tell me where you got your one from please? I had the walbro on my old SC but will be going harrop soon so might as well skip to the high end one. Cheers

i decided that i should channel the air from the scoop towards doing something productive.. 

 

whether or not this will work i don't know but a couple bits of ali and some pop rivets and i have this. 

 

 

 

 

my idea is that the air is channeled on top of the charger, before you all start im well aware that its only cooling the surface and the effects will be minimal but id rather have it on doing a little than nothing..

ordered some new gloves for donny as my current ones are shot.



was advised by gaz that there was a new valve upgrade for my shocks so i took them off and found a leaky one.. lol



surprisingly my CL RC5+ brake pads have lasted blooming ages! couple track days and a year of driving



wouldnt air jacks be ace..

I decided to look at the toe eye as it never went in very well, half way through the thread it snapped.. :S



So fixed and improved.





I got mikes 2012 season diffuser but its taken a battering so im not sure ill keep it but put it on anyway.



Ready to rock.



Good night.

What did you say in the last gaz thread?

[chris_uk]

On inspection it was deemed that the piston was damage allowing fluid to leak, stone chipped.. Thats what was told to me as to why they where leaking, i never checked them before i sent them tho so i dont know if true.. Apparently tho, gaz has only had 1 set of ggp2's back and they didnt need anything doing to them. I actually believe gaz have upped their game in the reliability dept. The only other mono to go back was mikes.

I'm amazed your toe mount is still intact, mine rotted away years ago. If you fancy a couple of hours faffing around with clams there are stainless steel mounts on ebay for £40.

[chris_uk]

When i repaint my clam im planning on getting one with a sector111 tow eye.

Went to Blyton Park today and it turned out to be a pretty decent day all in all.

the track is pretty flat but i quite liked it.. suited the vx perfectly.. had loads of cut outs again which was really pissing me off but hopefully next time in out it will all be sorted..

was looking forward to the cd of pics but when i viewed them they were all sh*t, blurry and the same and he wanted £25 for a cd with 25 pics on.. fcuk that!.

here is a vid of the session i did, including my fastest lap (so much i could do to improve it)



i will go back once the car is running 100% just so i can see what it can really do there.. (ideal was 1'10.8)

only pic i did get was this one



and 1 from my mate on the way there.

Absolutly perfect for a first timer aimy, aslong as its dry.. You would enjoy it, lots and lots of run-off
