Rebel Scum

Can you get a decent prybar in and lever the diff around:closedeyes: a bit to line the holes up?

Just a thought but how about a meet at the RAF museum at Cosford?, just off the M54.Museum is quite interesting and free to go in. Or how about Star City in Birmingham?

They may give you a £60 fine and offer you a speed awareness course, rather than points......thats happened to a few people I know :)

Havent seen that one about......

no Eggs, its not just you, thats exactly what a 'screamer pipe' is :)

The zed in the top vid sounds like its got a v8 conversion lurking under the bonnet rather than a v6 with a loud exhaust

Hicas eliminator and suspension arms, fill her with a ton of waxoyl, smooth the tailgate then a respray :).Have got a pair of front camber arms, just need to order the others and ive got a fibreglass(not perspex strip) strip for the tailgate when I remove the spoiler.

Attempted to fit my Driftworks Hicas eliminator last week, but the balljoints were solid in the hub so left it for another day!.going to press them out with the hubs off when I di my suspension arms as its looks as though theres a good chance of buggering something up trying to do it with the hubs on.

relocated the ptu under the nose panel as well :)

Bit of snow in Telford this morning.....soon melted though :)

The targa strips have screws that fit from underneath,you have to remove the targa trim etc to get to the screws

about time too matey! :tt2: have given up with the alarm :surrender:, will call round after work tomorrow to see what you reckon with it :)

Got here back last night mate, drives and feels soooooooooooo much better, and its a hell of a lot quieter now shes so 'ventilated' underneath.The corners behind the rear wheels had gone in a big way and were far worse than the pics look but mark fabricated them all and got them spot-on.Also had a patch each side in the area below where the targas would leak and the front crossmember was full of holes and cracked and thats all been fabricated,welded and treated.All the welded areas have been coated with hammerite then undersealed and the old girls having a gallon of waxoyl pumped everywhere next weekend. on the ramps Its amazing the lenghts some folks will go to find a lost £1 coin!!!!!!

more rot!!!!!! Fresh metal going in done and treated bailey dump valves

A massive thank you to Lee Dent for getting my Zed sorted, have had loads done this week and done a bit myself.Also a huge thank you to Mark from MJ Welding in Shrewsbury, christ that man can weld!.Have now got a manual conversion with a stage 3 clutch and lightened flywheel, uprated Toyo intercoolers,carbon canister and aircon deleted (and all the pipework etc), 4 new Falken tyres and a zed with no holes underneath!.Anyway, heres some pics :) Toyo intercooler vs standard! autobox out flywheel and clutch in (new rear seal and spigot bearing) Rot!!!! Rot!!!!!!!!!

A manual will be better on fuel and put more power to the rear wheels than an auto, because an autobox takes more engine power to drive it than a manual.my mates ford torino loses approx 90bhp through the autobox and diff........with a manual box and the same diff the loss drops to around the 50 bhp mark.

Due to work I dont always finish at the same time each night, due to where im working that day but dont work saturdays :)

The Friday is out for me, as by the time I get home from work and have a shower etc etc then drive to oswestry it aint worth it, plus it would be dark by then.......

I use my jdm auto every day, to get to work and back etc and to be honest it isnt much (if any) thirstier than the 3.0 calibra its replaced.

Sorry mate, just re-read it and saw the 'front' bit!, I read between the lines and wrongly thought rear seal. Thats the trouble with dynos, I had my 3.0 omega engined calibra on one last year and it made 199.6 bhp and 216lb/ft of torque which I was happy with as the bhp was around standard but the torque was higher so not bad for a 150k ex-police engine!.How come it was 280bhp 'estimated'?, is his dyno not that accurate?, and was that at the flywheel or the rear wheels?.My reading of 199.6 was re-calculated and gave somewhere around 156bhp at the front wheels,taking in to account the losses through the transmission.My mate has got a bored and stroked ford torino thats around 7 litres and 500bhp and his losses around 90bhp through the autobox and diff!. If it drives nice and goes well I wouldnt get hung up on bhp figures, unless you want an accurate figure to gauge the effectiveness of future mods by.

Exhausts,prop,gearbox,clutch and flywheel off for the crankshaft oilseal. Is yours auto or manual?, and is it standard?, as I believe 280bhp is about right for a standard auto tt I think.plus if the engine has never been rebuilt thats pretty good I would have thought :)

hi mate, if you want to sell them on here you need to be a subscribed member :) EDIT.....sorry mate, just saw the ebay bit ;)

Some pics of my Bailey dump valves fitted, and the Toyo smic's that are going on :)

Have got a lightened flywheel going on my TT this week.For what its worth i put a lightened (Courtenay Sport) billet flywheel on my 3.0 v6 engined Calibra and it was much better all round.A stock v6 GM flywheel is around the 16kg mark, and the Courtenay sport one was around 8 or 9kg so a big difference and i never had problems going up hill etc.Once it was fitted the old girl felt very lively on throttle response and actually seemed a bit better on fuel.

Looking good :)
