your rear calipers are upside down?! they'll be a bugger to get all the air out of fitted that way up.

 

I take it this will never see the road?

Yeh the calipers are upside down, i have already bleed them no problem.

Yes it will be going on the road, hopefully next month

Looking awesome mate! How have you connected up the handbrake to the calipers?

[welshpug 1,657]

what davie said, for an MOT you need a mechanical parking/emergency brake, you can have vented rears by using the standard 1.9 rear caliper with the wider pad carrier you have there already, possibly the same discs, I think Tom Fenton did something along these lines.

Hi Guys,

The rear calipers a the opposite to what you think. They use the piston part of the caliper for 1.6 fronts and the smaller pads and carriers from 1.9 rears with solid discs.

As for the handbrake its a hydraulic jobbie and as far as i was aware as long as it has a locking divice to hold it on when parked its fine for M.O.T

[welshpug 1,657]

I dont think that is correct.

 

also begs the question, WHY?

[crackass999 0]

hi there, just wondering what gearbox you're using and if you have a limited slip dif.I'm using a 1.6 box and struggle to get traction.

Cheers,matt.

No this isn't the case- you are required to have a mechanical link to the handbrake- e.g. cable or linkage.

Just going on what my boss has told me and as he is the one m.o.t testing the car i cant see it being much of a worry to me.

 

Oh yeh its running a GTI-6 gearbox with std diff and 306 td shafts

This is definitely correct, you need a non hydraulic linkage for the handbrake.

 

As to whether the tester will notice/know I'm not so sure.

Hi guys have not updated for a long while. I have been busy since my baby girl was born in december but i have managed to do some work on the car.

Firstly i had these rear beam mounts made and fitted them

 

I also had the same guy who made them to totally modify my turbo downpipe as it was hitting the bulkhead. He also changed the wastegate arrangement for me so i now have a dump pipe from the external wastegate pointing at the floor.

 

I have some more pictures but i can find the cable for my camera at the mo.I will post some more pics when i find it.

Hi guys,

I have said they are cosworth injectors but they are cream in colour and have four needle holes, they are weber injectors and when i rang webcon he could not tell me what they fitted just that they had a huge flow rate. I will have to check the reistance when i get back to work but that is a good point made. I think i can change the resistance settings on my dta ecu. Might explain why when i had it running it overfueled badly and ran lumpy.

 

they will be fieta rs turbo beige injectors being 701's and there low impendance but also max out at 220 ish bhp on a 1.6 so on a 2.0l there not really suitable, go for astra vxr injectors or a proper set of siemens, be more suited to your app, HTH

Hi cheers but they are not fiesta injectors for sure and they are not low impendance. When i spoke with webcon the flow rate is huge.I cant see them being a problem but its going on the rolling road soon to be mapped so we will find out then.

Hi guys, I have not updated for while as i have been busy.

I have managed to do some work on the car though.

I decided the wheels needed a bit of a refresh so i gave them a lick of paint

 

Here is a picture of the dump pipe from external wastegate

 

Next is the exhaust which is straight through with no silencers and 2.75" diameter.

You can also see the rose jointed gear rods in the pic.

 

Next you can see the brakes and suspension which is fully rose jointed and running custom ast uprights

Ihave also made the intercooler smaller and re routed the turbo pipes, i will get some pics up in the next couple of days.

[custard-rallye 25]

love this car cant wait to see it finished

[NickMi 0]

Here is a couple of pics showing the turbo pipe work i have moved around. I also made a new intake pipe to the turbo for better clearance.

I also made some alloy plates to cover the fuel pump and sender

And sorted the verticat hydraulic handbrake

I have cut the intercooler down and lowered it, I will post some pics of it tomorrow.

[mmt 15]

What an amazing car and amazing work!!!

 

Where did you get that black front wide body kit?

[NickMi 0]

I have taken a few pictures as promised of the intercooler i have shortened.

I hope to get an M.O.T on her this coming weekend and then on the rolling road.

Cheers for your coments and i got the front arches from ebay mmt.

[mmt 15]

Thanks.

 

Are they for a 205 or something else?

[NickMi 0]

Thanks.

Hi yeh they are for 205, They were £150 for wide front and standard width rears.

I think i still have the guys contact details if you want me to dig them out for you?

Just a thought - How confident are you that it won't fail mot on noise emissions

I am pretty confident as my boss will be moting it for me

[Will Eastman 6]

Any update on this? Did you get it rolling roaded?

[Loose Hand Luke 6]

Looking awesome mate!

What arches have you fitted? Not seen them before!

Hi all

The car is on the road and engine run in, I took the car to the dyno last week and all was well apart from the rooling road was only capable of running 250 bhp. Ran the car up in forth but just ended up with wheel spin when the boost came in hard and the dyno went off the scale.

Fair play though it goes like stink, left a mate gobsmaked when i left his 260bhp megane 225 standing.
