following a trackday at Llandow last month a couple of niggles made themselves apparent, so it was decided to drop out the engine and box to change the clutch.
After a chat with darren (omex) we decided to-
-refinish the engine and box
-clutch and lightened flywheel
-new redesigned engine mounts and gear linkage
pro alloy charge cooler
-tidy up and clean the engine bay
wheel bearings
powder coat anything that can once it’s off
new windscreen
change the gearbox oil and engine oil
i’m sure there will be more to do as and when we come across it
osmond1 , just out of interest what did you use to replace the firewall heatshield? Got any details of it? Supplier?
I’ve replaced mine also, but just in case the material I’ve selected doesn’t do the best job (it was the best match I could find for OEM) I’d like some backup options
charge cooler pre rad and radiator ready to go in–
new mounts–
engine back in–
Although it’s coming back out tomorrow so the mounts can all be treated then powder coated,
.
Also got the pipework through the cills for the charge cooler.
Looking good mate. However have a think about using both of the fans. The fan itself blocks a lot of the rad and at full hammer you are going to need all of the flow that you can get. When you are sitting in traffic ticking over I think you will find that one fan is enough to keep all of the temps under control.
I only run one fan and I know of quite a few other people that only run one fan as well.
