Work is taking off

Posted by: Neill Horsman In: Shed Life

So been a few weeks since a car update.

Work has picked up so flat out designing some websites, might do a blog to show off them later.

Also while making a battery mount bracket i slipped with the angle grinder and took a bit off my finger, so been a tad sore to work on it.

Although i have arranged a few things and purchased a few parts for it.

First off, from Tune Agent a alloy oil adaptor

With this instead of using a restrictive sandwich plate where the oil filter sits, i can unbolt the oil filter adaptor and bolt this on in place, with holes for pipes to the remote filter and oil cooler, and two bosses for gauges senders (oil temp/oil pressure)

Next on the list was a set of alloy light weight pulleys from midnightmods for the alternator, water pump and crank

They don’t really do a great deal, they are a bit lighter so can gain an extra kw, maybe half haha, but got them for some work i done for midnightmods, so no loss there.

If you get the proper jap set, they are different sizes to slow down the alternator so it wont wear out/over charge as much from high RPM while racing/drifting.

1 last thing for this week was a solid steering bush.

This replaced the rubber one in the engine bay that wears out and has a lot of movement in it. Will increase steering feel and more direct.

Also grabbed a steering wheel boss so i can chuck on a nardi or OMP deep dish wheel. With the car being hicas originally, but all is removed i will show you how i did this in the next post..

Lots of updates this weekend
