Looking very nice mate

Chris took the car to demon tweeks today for the 4 wheel aligment had them set to a setting of his choice for drifting forget what they are he will chuck them up later.

Good service there would recomend it to anybody.

Pics not the best as they are off my phone

Looks ace Chris matey

Please delete these pics, as I keep finding myself looking at the driftworks car's for sale section.

HELL NO

What he said.

Everyone needs an S body in their life.

Chris I have pictures from oulton still that i havnt even gone through. Do you want me to post the ones of your car? Same goes for Tony. Ill post em on your project threads if you want or i can do some e-mailage.

Yeah post mine up matey i am sure Chris wont mind either

MAKE SURE ITS HIM SPINNING

Some them cars are nice

OK, ill post them up when ive gone through them. Time for a shower and a sleep now though so im fresh for tommorow.

some random pics of most recent drift outing...

Looking good matey

Cheers Tone...I think this site is gettin pretty damn quiet recently...

Ill agree with ya on that...

Sidways is the only way forward dude...and you seem to be moving "Forward" very well

Nice one

Yeah car side of it has gone very quiet indeed

After a little escapade with another S14(with a known 300bhp) I can surmise that my car is runnin about 300bhp on 0.6 bar!...can't wait for mapping and 1.5 bar!

MM that be spam then???

300bhp-Hell no...Oscar

Spam is scared shatless of his car lol

Spams also made 371bhp at the last RR day

371bhp !!!!!!!!!!!!!


That sounds plenty enough for going sideways

Spam aint no drifter...he just wanted a quick car-his words not mine!

I can remember someone saying that "driven by the rear is the only way to go forward" but I'm liking this sideways malarchy

Sideways isnt the way forward....

When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge you're out of control......

Been watching Days of thunder pal???

What if you are doing a donut thats not quick

at least some one got it!!!!!!

Some fresh pics of your motor chris matey

Forgot to get the engine bay pics DOH

and some more...

wow, lookin really tidy bud

Lookin very very smart

engine bay pics??

bit of practice time..

Looking good. Im really looking forward to going down there later in the year now

was this the car with the incar video on pootube?

it sounded like an RB

Yeah thats 1 of my Vids matey just got another 4 uploading at the min matey

Found acouple of nice pics matey





Liking the gimp in the passenger seat with the vid camara

These just went up on dw matey





Car made 330 bhp at rising sun at just 0.6 of a bar which is impressive as this is what it runs round on and can be wound up more its still to be tuned and the fella told Chris he will get a reliable 550+

Whens it getting tuned?

Quality pics

need another standard ECU then its off to get maped(again)

why another standard ECU?

I want the standard ECU remaped...rather than aftermarket ECU.The standard ECU has loads of variables compared to loads of aftermarket ones!

Ahh fair enough.

Where you getting that mapped?

Rising sun performance(again)...south west of London!!

Have you got your new ECU yet?

Is your old one worth anything with that chip in it? It might offset some of the costs. Did you say it was Buddy Club or someone like that? A JDM name whore might have it.

Buddy club mate...but the map is unreadable so no one knows what its set to do boost and power wise...

Well,I went all the way to Rising Sun Performance (249miles each way) for the second time last weekend.First time I went to them a month ago I was let down by the car as the standard ECU in the car was found to have a Buddyclub chip in it and it had damaged the ECU so that it could not be read or mapped!

Anyway this time I had a new ECU with me and the mapping started straight away...until they started full power runs and discovered it was running very poorly and the graphs were all over the place.They spent hours lookin through everything and found the trouble to be a faulty CAS unit(cam angle sensor)
On examination it had been chewed up by the pin that drives it from the exhaust cam and the pin had actually snapped off the cam!!
The reason this had happened is that a gasket with spacers in it had been missed out when the engine had been assembled! This gasket should sit between the cambelt cover and the cas unit.Without it the cas was being forced towards the cam too much...

So they fitted a new exhaust cam and found yet another problem...the bottom pulley had no woodruff key!

Anyway after all this had been fixed and the engine was all back together they said it could be mapped, but not until the next day.So another night in a hotel...

The mapping was finished the next day and I have to say it drives much smoother and pulls much better...but there is another problem... the walbro(if it is a walbro) in the tank will not supply enough fuel for more than 1.2bar without making it run lean over 6000revs....So I am gonna need to pop a relay near the pump and uprate the power supply to the pump or change the pump.

Anyway it was not all bad news...it still made 350bhp at 0.7bar..........410bhp at 1bar...........450bhp at1.2bar but not taken over 6k revs.
So it will make a bit more, but I need to sort the pump to run more boost.

I have also fitted a very free flowing exhaust which gives a much deeper and slghtly louder note...

Total expenditure for the 2 days was £1,210...nice

Nice figures, but not a nice price

I have now hardwired my Walbro so should be up about 30BHP on previous best.(480bhp)

I had 10.7volts at the pump before I fitted the relay,and now have 13.9volts at the pump!

The pump now delivers approximately 40lph more fuel, and should stop it running lean at the top end when running 1.2bar or more

Was it running low on pressure before mate

40lph wont make any difference unless it was struggling for pressure as the fuel pressure regulator on the rail will just send it back to the tank

Rising Sun said enough fuel was not being delivered to the rail...so this should sort it mate...

Happy days.

Will you be getting another RR session or are you happy as it is?

Are you competing next year or are you still busy with the baby? Hows the baby doing aswell?

Doing the full BDC season next year,I will have all the safety crap fitted by then...

S13s' are not heavy cars-so it is stupid and ridiculously fast;when you can get the power down!

I will have the fueling checked on the next group rolling road session...

Heres some pics of those steelies on the back with 10mm slip on spacers. ET28 6.5j then i think. They look better then prefaces imo. Only pics i have sorry. The front are standard teardrops no spacers so you get an idea how they sit.

Get a thread up with your other car aswell! I wanna see what you do to it.
