It lives it drives all be it abit bad LOL

Done alot today not that the wife was pleased.

Drop links are one




And bodykits on not the best fitting kit but its only going to get smashed while drifting. Will get it painted once i get the wider rear fenders.




Reg plates are on seats bolted back down and most of the sound deadening is out now.

Also sorted the ride height out had to rise it up (gay i know) but it will do untill i go to demon tweeks and have the suspension setup propley. The steering still locked on full lock but thats somthing to do with it going over centre or somthing the tension rods need winding out/in to sort that i am told.

Roll on BDC licencing day on the 24th of jan now

Some better pics of the car.

















Drives horrible at the moment not tightening some bolts on the bottom arms didnt help much will have to sort this out monday when i get a day off work without my wife being around to nag me to go xmas shopping. At least i know what the problem is now just need to get both bottom arms the same lenght so the car can be driven to tweek.

manifold and handbrake to finish then that will do for now.

Just seen it on DW. Looking good.

I so want a skid car now but every time i make plans for one something happens to stop me.

Could do with tightening those drop links up a bit matey - the bush should squeeze out and sit flush with the metal washers at the top and bottom

Yeah got to go over all the uspension on monday find out what i havnt done tight

Also got all the info i need to setup the suspension which should see me till i get to tweeks.

Think i may have my rear driftworks arms and wider fenders on by then too then its saving for a respray.

cant wait till the 24th for the drift day but not to confident about getting it

Well finaly got the car driving ina straight line and the manifolds starts blowing and takes a plug out rrrr.

The manifolds a later xspower one and i am having trouble finding away to tighten one of the bolts anybody dealt with them before on a ca???

Also do they make that big a difference or should i go back to the standard one???

The std manifold on the CA become restrictive at approx 260bhp (though people have run 320+ on a std item before now), and the SR at 300bhp, so if your below 260 the std one should be fine

All manifold bolts should be easy enough to get to mate - done remember any being a problem back in the dark ages when I had a CA

I'll see what happens when i have a go at sorting the one on the car if its crap and fails again i'll chuck the old one back on.
The cars stage 2 with a rebuilt engine so when that goes POP Which it will cos its a ca i'll be upgrading to somtin bigger and better just dont know what any idea maybe 1jz/sr20 or rb25 my budget will be £2500 which will be with fitting.

RB30 for the win

If the CA goes would it be bottom end?

If so you could always ask Norris Designs about something a bit meatier to beef the bottom end up and any work done to your current engine isnt wasted then.

I know loads [censored] the CA off but it cant be that bad can it? Like any engine, im sure its reliable if its built, mapped properly and then looked after.

Norris design are all over my engine matey its only been rebuilt 9k ago with stronger bottom end BUT this year its going to get well used and abused.

You still comming to Oulton park matey????

As for mapping i know people say its not worth me doing it with the turbo i hve (t28) i will have the 444cc injectors fitted to it and Z32 airflow meter fitted and fo get it mapped at Horsesham (Jez) later this year should see around 300bhp anymore and it will need forge internals (320 bhp and above) but to be honets 250bhp with the weight of my car should be enough.

Yeah, ND would be the only place id take a CA.

Yeah im still up for oulton park. Im just sorting myself a new HD camera out aswell. Whereabout do they do the skidding? Can i get a good viewpoint?

250 brake is plenty. I dont know why people chase big numbers so much when the AE86's, Escorts and even Volvo's prove you dont need big power to be able to drift.

just been reading through your topic and must say looks good, are you out and about in this or is more work neaded before it goes on the road etc.

Dave there is loads of places to get good pics from matey.

Johnny alan long time no see matey hows you.

Cars on the road been back on the road for about a week now manifolds playing up at the moment though so need to sort that.

TBH ND are very expensive for the CA, mainly as Simon would rather concerntrate on the Evos at the moment.

If you want someone to build you a CA, go see my mate with the Starion at park garage - he has built a few - all to a very high standard - and the only person round here I would trust to build a forged motor!!
