I stole nothing, I may have lit a small fire underneath the rear of the car though.

On speaking with Graeme yesterday I think he was more than happy for people to help themselves to the orange wrap

[Graeme Lambert]

Saw this hunk a junk today

 

Oi, us orange owners should be sticking together

 

What did you take off it Rob?

 

That looks like an Apexi filter, might help myself to that, can you confirm if its a 65mm or 85mm spigot please Graeme?

 

I have a feeling it'll be going begging mate, you want your name down for it?

If that was in a bid to hurry proceedings along then can I remind you I'm a cripp

 

And frankly I'm waiting on a certain Mr Bentley, though he did email tonight suggesting it'll be starting very very soon.

Yup, if people want to remove the wrap I'll be more than happy. Just try to leave some of the paint on it...

Have you decided on an exhaust yet?

[Graeme Lambert]

Have you decided on an exhaust yet?

 

I suspect we'll be going custom.

 

Will be making a larger than average silencer box to reduce noise as much as possible for trackdays - can't be arsed with reducers or whatever.

[Zoobeef]

You'll have to let me know the price as I want one under the limits but dont want/need a cat so may be a not louder through that.

[Graeme Lambert]

We're going to try without a cat first as well Mark. Will update as and when. G

It's started

 

 

If Matt gets time the engine will be out today, if not it'll be done tomorrow when I go down to MBR.

That looks like a new clean floor to drop coolant and oils on ,

I think Matt will drop kick me if I get his newly painted floor dirty

I like the use of the toe links to support the subframe, very innovative.

What's by passenger vent? Small chargecooler?

What's by passenger vent? Small chargecooler?

Basically yes. A small motorbike rad. It's being changed for a PA chargecooler setup

Not much left to work with there, G! Bunch of .org vultures

[Mangham54]

Turbo housing... Get one cheap (feck the turbo etc) fitted somewhere along the exhaust pipe and see what happens with the blades chopping up the air / sound waves especially if going custom made. If I had my car, I would be willing to chip in a tenner (I know - I am so generous) as I suspect you could convince others to support a trail as part of the custom design, even if it was to be cut out and replaced later to see if it had any positive effect. Actually, fcuk it... I'll sponsor you a tenner, if others will, to buy a random scrap turbo and try one as part of the exhaust fabrication.

Seems a bit random dude?

Not quite sure what you'd hope to achieve with a turbine in the exhaust pipe?

I am random... That is both my charm and annoying feature wrapped into one. My thoughts are that turbo cars tend to be nowhere near as noisy as an equivalent car of same power. The turbo when looking down the exhaust looks like a blockage and therefore has the effect of reducing sounds waves passing down the chamber. It may be enough to reduce some of the sound to be useful, it could be completely useless or even make the situation worse... I have absolutely no idea.
