Back from the dead
Good evening all, yes i am still alive, LOL, sorry for not updating more regular, just been absolutely mental busy for the past few months, between work, home and family.
Work wise i have just had my head buried in leading projects, SAP CRM, E-Commerce etc....which are near climax, so a rest bite is welcomed, in addition to this
we were renovating/extending our house so we had to move out for 7weeks, back in now and all is mostly finished, just trying to get the never ending supply of dust out the door
and to top it all off we have a new addition to our family as of 2 weeks ago, another boy
all are healty and well, i forgot how tough sleepless nights were, god bless caffeine.
Now back to the car stuff, between all the above i did manage to magic up some time for the car. Mostly all of the work i have been doing is software related, tweak refine, tweak again.
I am now running 10-15% methanol in the petrol tank and just using water injection to keep IAT's down, to be honest the car feels metal, timing across the range is super high and CF's are non-existent or low, 2's and 3'a, we limited timing advance at 23* as i maxed my 550cc injectors out, but the car has felt the most powerfull it every has, with airflows running in the 320-330bhp range, 20psi @ 7000rpm and 21/22* timing top end it must be near or over the 340bhp range easily, a dyno is needed.
The Clutch is still giving me a bit of grief, i have replaced the Master cylinder and uprated the clutch lines to braided lines from Southbend, today i actually flushed out the
slave cylinder using a syringe and long 2mm tube, it has made a huge difference but i am still suspicious of the master cylinder, moreover the person that installed it.
The brake upgrades i did are fully settled in, the NDX pads are pretty awesome when matched with the godspeed disks, braided lines and 5.1, they bite soooo well and really just stop the car dead, having said that i could not recommend the NDX pads because of the absolutely crazy mental bed in procedure, no wonder there not road legal, LOL
So here's my lastest bucket list.
* Refurb the Bremdo’s after the fool that installed the MS let the system run dry(not a
problem) but then proceeded to bleed brake fluid all over my Brembo's and let them sit there, what a fcuking twat, paint has pealed. When i confronted him about this his response was to walk away and lock himself into his office, he'll get his.
Can't trust anyone these days.
* Bought as set of rear lights, i have plans to tint them.
* I need a inline fuel pump for extra fuelling, mine is struggling to deliver enough on peak rail pressures mixed with 550cc injectors.
* Selling my immaculate BBS CH, hopefully someday(soon) i will find a set of alloys that will live up to how much i liked the CH's.
* Spray a spare rocker cover i have, color to be decided, i just know it will be metallic paint.
* General service, its being 6k already :-(
* Still loving the Vredestein's
Last but not least these babies were ordered today, happy days.
I will get actual pictures up when they arrive this week.
P.S i've been keeping up with all your RR threads, christ your guys have been busy.
