Do you use the standard clutch on your SC 205?

 

I'm building a lynx low boost SC 205 and I'm not sure what to do with the clutch. (800 Km old standard Valeo is on now)

[Spiky 37]

yeah, std mi165 clutch, which i fitted over 6 years ago, removed it to replace for low boost, and looked at it and was mint so put it back in

 

never had a issue with it

Thanx! One job less.

^{mine has the same clutch and has been perfect for 4 years}

I've had my EARLS fuel pipes and fittings for about 5years now, and a strong smell of fuel in the car, due to them being rubber lined,

 

so took my car to Alex @ Torques to get a whole new replacement setup

 

here is the new black teflon lined pipes

 

anyone wanting the same type visit www.torques.co.uk

welded/brazed fittings on the fuel rail?

[Spiky 37]

Brazed, that was done about 5 years

[Henry 1.9GTi 36]

do you use the standard pump to fill the tank? If so how did you get teflon pipes onto the plastic connectors? I am putting together a setup inside a sealed box and using hardlines as I still need rubber push on hose for the OEM pump. Hardlines will be grommeted through the box and floor.

[Spiky 37]

only the black lines in th pics are teflon lined and i will be putting bulkhead fittings to remove rubber fittings inthe cabin and then on the outside have rubber to the tank

[Spiky 37]

sorry forgot to say, yes, still using std pump

[Henry 1.9GTi 36]

ah i see. sounds good, thanks for the info.

 

my plan was to use hard line through to the pump and then a very very short rubber hose joint between pump and hardline.

May have to use some 90deg joiners and rotate the pump a little but hopefully will work!

 

can also vouch for torques. Very nice ebay store, already has a few bits off there myself

keep up the good work spiky. when is she next out?

[Spiky 37]

yes might work, but just not much room between body and tank

 

next outing (first since aug 18 2012 ) is at combe RSOC day

[Spiky 37]

little update on the fuel pipe,

 

still have rubber lined pipes off the std tank so have re routed these now so all the cabin is teflon lined

Looking good. Were you getting a nasty fuel smell inside?

[Spiky 37]

Yeah I was

[chipstick 382 1 Cars]

A swirl pot is on my list of things to do over the winter. I will probably try and keep everything outside under the boot floor as like you know - I likes me carpet!

[Spiky 37]

the pug had good thrashing at the RS day at combe this weekend,

only has 1 major moment in Session 3 where i hit some coolant laid down by a cossie, and trying to brake from around 120,

did think the car was heading towards the tyre wall, but managed to get it to stop, checked car, all was ok, so went back out

but overall was a great day and the car performed really well, and managed to get my target laptime of 1:19

i did get a few 1:20's but finnaly got a 1:19

 

sorry some of the session have a blurry front camera, and the sound isnt perfect

 

front facing sessions, in order 1-8

Rear facing camera session 1-5 (then battery went)

[Spiky 37]

here are 2 pic's my mate took on saturday, hopefully have more soon

[calvinhorse 870]

Spiky, what is your YouTube name?

[Spiky 37]

the name is spikysteve

[rallyeash 155]

Bobbies pic looks awesome. Nice angle!

[petert 591]

Only just noticed this. I'm not sure I'd like pressurised fuel behind me. Our fuel and oil has to be enclosed if in the cabin.

[welshpug 1,662]

It does here in a competition car pete, theres no rules for track cars.
