nah not yet dude, got to get some money toghther for it 1st, should probarly have the fly skimed at the same time too so more £££

was starting to slip badly after about 6-7 mins around Castle Combe but when it cools down its fine again and it got me home fine

there is always something keeping us busy

[FRSJON]

looks the nuts mate..

[rsonblackwheels]

thanks dude

had some issues this weekend but think it was just a vacum leak, it boosted up to somewhere over 20psi, should be 18 and lost all its power but after some investigation and fidling around with vacum hoses and putting in another full tank of £optimax£ it was fine

odd

[rsonblackwheels]

small up-date after some messing around last weekend

got around to fitting a swirl pot i've had sat about



Escort RST top hose to chop up



not alot of room under the top boost pipe






seems to work quite well

also got a little closer to fitting my Prodrive comedy air filter



just need another bit of silicone hose now

also fitted my Stack temp gauge sender in the old Fan switch sender hole as mine is now controled by the Omex system it was just unplugged



looks much tidyer than just sticking out of a tapped hole in the old thermostat housing

also caught this butterfly on the way back from Ford Fair

[Ratspeed]

Love the car mate, and that air filter is freakin awesome!

[hb69]

That air filter is fantastic

Congrats on the feature, hadnt read that bit before, definately deserved though

[rsonblackwheels]

yeah the air filters awesome

glad you liked the feature mate

some better engine bay shots with the new swirl pot





hiding under the top boost hose

[Turboboy67]

Awesome fella,

How the hell are you going to fit that filter in though

[rsonblackwheels]

it does fit..... just

it hangs under the battery tray where the "HKS style" one currently hangs

dosn't quite touch the road

[andyb-rst]

this has got to be 1 of my faves on this site top work fella i had a good snoop round it at ford fair. kep up the good work mate

[jonboisescort]

[rsonblackwheels]

RS joe: yes mate lots of grazed knuckles but totally worth it

[Ram]

that filters fu*king awsome!

bays looking super clean

[rsonblackwheels]

thanks dude, i'm dying to get the filter fitted just need to get my aRS back in gear

back up TOTD next Friday might see if they have got some silcone hose kicking around i can use

[Ram]

i bet the chatter sounds awsome through that cone. rip the mushroom

[rsonblackwheels]

still isn't on yet, going up to TOTD this Friday (28th)

don't seem to get much chatter now its got the T3, still using the same filter & twin piston Baily Dump valve that i was on the T2 hybrid and that used to chatter its nutz off when you didn't make propper boost (just a few psi on the boost gauge) but that seems to have gone, much more wwwttccsshhhhhhh threw the valve now though. may have to stick in the dumpvalve bung i've got knocking about

RIP mushroom

[rsonblackwheels]

some track pics from the weekend





and a quick vid, blanked of the dumpvalve so got some chatter now




also got my missfire sorted at last, back on the Tourque of the Devils rollers. found that when the boost came whooshing on it suddenly went ever so LEAN
turned out that it was the widget (tecnical term, its even on the invoice ) just above the fuel pump, i think its called a fuel pump resinator had lost its seals. so instead of sending fuel up the fuel lines out of the tank it was passing by the seals and going back in the tank. only happened when it was being pushed so off boost it drove fine.all sorted now, took of the widget, through in the bin, replaced with a piece of bradied fuel line, back to its former glory and out terrorising people again

apparently its quite common, i had never heard about it befor and it would of taken me ages to find it, big thanks to Chris and the guys at TOTD, much love

bring on the paddle clutch!
