project:1.6 driver,aka the beast

where did the injectors come from?

you need to be kept away from rattle cans martin!

(although it looks "quite" cool)

injector were off ebay.
250cc 4 hole injectors out of a c20xe

and you need to be kept away from paint rollers.

haha cheeky shit

i got some new shiny bits





13x7j offset of 7 with 5mm spacers and 165/55/13 nankang tyres

i have the new wheels all fitted now.
and got some better pictures of them.




also after lifting it 20mm since the tyres are lower profile we took it for a drive and agreed that it is still too low

sweeet !!

i didnt realise how long it has been since i updated this but not too much has happened due to a rwd distraction
first off the mudflaps are gone
and i have some hubecntric spacers to goon but the arches need stretching outr even further to fit.
also decided to buy and fit nitrous


cold fusion wet kit running 25bhp shot.
works but i have burnt out a solenoid so its running dry now but still has a significant effect on the power
so if anyone knows where i can get some cheap solenoids from i would appreciate it
also have fitted some guages

oil pressure,vacuum gauge and a voltmeter

Wow, thats low...I bet even ants have to duck when you drive over one

As for the Nos, I've never used it, is it just a push button solanoid system with a pipe from the bottle to the intake, or is there more to it than that?

basically just a pipe from the bottle to a solenoid then a pipe from the solenoid to the jets which resrict the flow based on what power you want to run,i have jets from 25bhp-200bhp.
the nozzle just sprays straight into the air pipe.
very simple and very effective

Sounds like alot of bang for your buck Good job

yeah its good but only in short blasts or it will run out fast

exspensive to replace?? Still, great for embarrassing Chav-mobils no doubt

if i remember correctly its £7 a lb on a 10lb bottle
plus i had enough power for any chav-mobile.much more fun to out run new mercs and the like

just bought a 4 point omp lower brace

as you can see it looks a bit rough but its solid
so i thought i would clean it up and paint it before i fitted it

it was a bit awkward to fit on my own but i managed it

another update.
first off it is now running a kent gs22h camshaft with new tappets which has increased the power a bit although has moved the power further up the rev range


also i have fitted an air cooled oil cooler with a billet alloy sandwich plate and braided hoses.

not too much has been happening but it now has a much wider stance with thanks to some hubcentric spacers




also have refitted the bucket seats with some new subframes

another very small update
i have new dust caps home made




how long till they get nicked

long time no see dude. car is looking ace, love the oil cooler and detailing.

those valve caps are silly!

i think your just jealous cos you havent got any
also since one has gone walkabouts already i have made anothe and redesigned them so they now have metal threads with a locking grub screw.
new plane

check out the new hand made gauge pod
now containing,voltmeter,ammeter,oil pressure,vacuum and air intake temprature

just ignore all the stuff in the footwell

all starting to match inside now

and a quick test to make sure its all working

looks good martin and any news on the mot ???

not yet.
still need to get a smaller box cos the one on it atm bangs on the suspesion so its no good.

that sucks :/ good stuff on the clocks tho
