4wd's are a bitch to get off the line consistently :evil:
u could do 10 runs and get a diff launch each time! even with on-board setups the diffs can b massive!

if i ditch the 4wd it would mean a fair bit of chassis work, all the power to the back would cause bounce etc plus id prob run at least 10" slicks rear so then skinnies up front so would need to restrict lift at the front and also sort the steering issues

i think im gona run it as is at first and see what times i get then see how much could b gainned

havnt even looked at the poor old scoob for a while

but a customer came into work today to tell my boss that he now doesnt want the mega mega gearbox that me has had custom made for him due to a change in circumstances :?
my boss wouldnt normaly build this sort of thing especially not for a "off the road" customer but this guy has brought about 7 cars to us and has spent untold amounts so my boss didnt think he was gona get shafted with it :?
so me being the vulture that i am waited for the smoke to stop coming from his ears and then started
"well, i still havnt got a gearbox for my ........" :roll:

so i think i may b working overtime forever, but i have a gearbox on a super deal :lol:
it needs stripping as there are a few bits that need tweeking for my car but i will do this in my own time so as not to annoy the boss anymore :twisted:

il get the ins and outs of the box sorted and keep u alll posted :mrgreen:


(for some reason the images wont work but il stick them up when i can)

[TURBO]

the clio is driving me mad!!! :evil: everytime i drive it i get more things to fix and the exhaust moves :evil: plus some c**t tried to steal my gti-r so thats out of action due to the damage/insurance for a while so im jap-less then i remembered iv got millions of jobs to do on the scoob :roll: so.......

iv had a bit of time over the last few days so the gearbox has been stripped/tweeked and re-built
the flywheel/clutch etc is all bolted on
iv fitted new brake lines, reservoir etc
removed any extra bits i didnt need (plus got carried away with a grinder) :twisted:
given the engine bay a good clean
engine and gearbox are back in

OOOOUCH, what kinda damage's on your Pulsar? Hope the cnut gets caught!

Good to hear you're making progress on your Scoob though

i had been racing for the day and stopped to help someone who had broken down on the way home.a wheel had fallen off there trailer and i spotted them on the side of the M1, they had been racing too so i stopped and helped him repair/bodge his trailer to get him home.
so by the time i got back it was late and i didnt wana b noisey and annoy everyone by putting the pulsar back in the lock up so i put the trailer (with the car on) on the drive as it wouldnt fit in my garage at home then bloked it in with the tow car and put a cover over it.

thought it would b fine there for a few hours but some little t**t decided to get under the cover damage the door (even tho it wasnt locked as it doesnt even have locks) and beat up the inside!!

think they tried starting it but didnt have a clue what they were doing!!it doesnt have a key or barrel so all they had to do was find the fuel kill and the battery kill and press the go button but they just hacked at some wiring which i guess they thought was the imob??but was actually my gauges :roll:

they still wouldnt have been able to move it or even get it off the trailer as it had wheel locks on :roll:
sort of wish they had started it so as i could of heard them and beat f**k out of them with my trusty bat :twisted:

so now iv had the police out and now car has to go to the bodyshop to have the door fixed and then il re-do the wiring

police caught them because they tried stealing an old saxo in the next road and the alarm on it was worth more than the car :lol: apparently theyd tried a few cars but had no idea, they were just drunk teenagers

That's a bitch man, I hate it when cnuts can't leave other peoples cars the **** alone!
Hope it's sorted soon!

The Scoob builds coming on nicely
Cool place to put your nitrous solenoids
And some good ol Roger Clark "inlet covers"

Nice build man!

 

[TURBO]

Cool place to put your nitrous solenoids

10 points for that man!!i wondered if anyone would spot those :twisted:

some good ol Roger Clark "inlet covers"

yea my boss has got rolls of there tape so thought id put some of it to use

 

[madmatt]

10 points for that man!!i wondered if anyone would spot those :twisted:

I saw the 4 Point Splitter block with Aeroquip, the dual solenoids an the W on it, put N 2 and O together and figured...Wizards of Nos?

Nice setup there You planning on Multistage?

 

[TURBO]

yea will b running multistage
not sure how many yet :? and if it all goes tits im just gona have loads of purge valves all the way down both sills of the car :twisted: :lol:

 

[madmatt]

Is it an EJ20 block?

Just thinking how much brake/boost you can safely run in an Open Deck boxer. All comes down to how many gears you're using too

Will no doubt be cooooool as feck once you're done I wanna see it in action!

 

[Matt]

yea will b running multistage
not sure how many yet :? and if it all goes t**s im just gona have loads of purge valves all the way down both sills of the car :twisted: :lol:

Haha would be excellent if it's road legal... Purge when there are pedestrians beside the car

 

[TURBO]

well we are aiming for 4 figures in the end :twisted: but anything over 600 will b great for the starting build!!

once we decided to go for the big numbers we have had the open deck block we are currently using fitted with steel liners so should b ok for a fair bit of power but it i have a closed deck block if it all goes t*ts up :?
