SteveP's New Project

[tony_danza]

Ahh yes, you met us all at Oulton that day. It's impossible to hold on a line, as the diff just pulls it all over the track! I was howling with laughter in it though, the beat up old POS surprises people that's for sure.

Back on topic, you're 4WDing it, Steve??

[damoegan]

I've seen Wilko's on the rollers and at Oulton Park

Back on topic, you're 4WDing it, Steve??

It's an option I am considering but up to now I haven't felt the power was too much for a FWD car and love the way it handles at present

....If it works, don't mend it. 

[SteveP]

And where's the fun in that

And where's the fun in that 

....Plenty of fun. You said you love the way it handles at present.

[SteveP]

Yes but who's to say it might not be better as 4WD and with more power.

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Indeed it might. Perhaps it would be a good idea to drive someone else's equivalent very powerful 4WD first to see if you prefer it. I expect that your contacts could get you into a driver's seat.

[SteveP]

Just need to get it back up and running again with the new calibration for the strengthened internals then I can made an informed decision 

[RedRobin]

^^^^
It's helpful that the season is changing for the better (I think!) so that you have more opportunities

And we have a GTX3071R up and running here in DK, only REVO stage 4 for now, stage 5 SW going in today along with a USP 044 low fuel pressure pump as it ran out of fuel at 1,5 bar.
Just thought you wanted to know Steve

Tuscan rods?

Nope just the standard ones 

You sure they are IE rods?  IE drop in rods are H-Beam, but the ones in the pic are I-Beam?   

Should have taken more notice of this as you are correct Alex, these now appear to be TSI rods so your old employers had to step in and provide sell APR some correct IE rods (i believe tuscan spec) so the rebuild could continue
