They're all coming out the woodwork now :eek: Hi :tearsofjoy::innocent:

Its a Zytek (now Gibson technologies) 04S. Belongs to Grahame Chilton, Max Chilton is going to be racing it in a few events.

Did someone mention my name :eek: Bit late now but I can make HEL, Goodridge and Brown and Miller crimped hoses for brakes, clutch, fuel, oil etc as I have a hose crimper and all the tooling. Can do anything from -2 upto -16. Wilwood calipers are a pain in the arse as they use stupid American...

Yep, 1st and 2nd gear are part of the input shaft so if you want to uprate them you'll need a whole new shaft.

So are you planning on changing it purely to relocate the alternator to where the power steering pump is? If it was me I'd keep the hydraulic set up and fit an electric pump out of a Vauxhall Zafira A/Astra G, will save you having to chop the column around, loop the rack pipes or find a manual...

The car has been sidelined for now unfortunately as I'm concentrating on work as I went self employed earlier this year doing braking, fuel, oil, hybrid, airjack, fire extinguisher systems on race/rally/road/track cars! I did make a slight bit of progress the other week and spoke to Exe-tc...

I bet the last bit of action you got was when your finger slipped through the toilet paper while you were wiping your arse :eek::p

I was going to stick my 2p in but I see someone's already linked to the thread where I was having problems with my catch can filling up on track. Definitely put the standard metal pipe on the right of the rocker cover back in ;) Its there for a reason as I found out!

1220kg for a standard aircon model or 1190kg for an RB is the weights from the brochures. Mine is a Sunny so no aircon and was 1180 on a ministry weighbridge, but I've got a lightweight fibreglass bonnet, carbon bucket seats, manual windows, all the heavy engine brackets removed and mongoose...

I would say well over 1100kg, despite what the weighbridge at the alpaca farm says ;)

Easy way to tell the difference between boxes is RB top speed in 5th is about 120 odd mph ;) 360bhp is perfect for a road car, leave it alone now else you'll start hating it when it breaks all the time :p How much have you stripped out to get it that light :eek:

Bit late now (sorry!) but if you undo the transferbox end casing and slide the front diff out the box comes off easy :p Saying that I used to just drop the engine most of the time as its a lot easier to separate the engine/box on the floor.

Nothing wrong with being 43 ;) Although I still think I'm about 20 and carry on doing stupid shit on 2 and 4 wheels :rolleyes:
