CRAIGR Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Also prepare for the time period after you're finished, the IVA completed, it's registered and on the road, and the first wise-A*** who comes in here and tries to entice you into an upgrade. This time period is roughly about ten minutes. Supercharge it !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIG Brother Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 IVA is not that bad as long as you stick to common principles. I'm sure when it's time I can always cast an eye over thigs and I'm sure if you get some pics up every now and then people will point out potential issues. Carbon mods might also become you're new best friends they did for me Carbon is king these days - chrome is rather outdated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Also prepare for the time period after you're finished, the IVA completed, it's registered and on the road, and the first wise-A*** who comes in here and tries to entice you into an upgrade. This time period is roughly about ten minutes. Ha, not even close Captain, not even close! Mine hadn't even made SVA before I'd been talked in to selling my Dellorto's and fitting throttle bodies, in fact the engine hadn't even been started, though it had been fitted in the car. Brakes had been connected and bled when I went up to CAT Motorsport to drop off some stuff for powder coating. While there, Andy convinced me how much better life would be with a set of his fantastically light four pot callipers Went back to collect the stuff a week later, and spent the afternoon fitting the new alloy steering rack clamps that had come back from CAT with me! Oh, nearly forgot, a bulk but from Pete saw me pulling my existing lightweight flywheel off and swapping it for an Alloy one. Upgradeitis! A terrible and HIGHLY contagious affliction.

Mark (smokey mow) Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Before drilling off engine mounts ensure the gearbox fits in the tunnel and isn't sitting against the cross members / chassis rails. Fit plenty of cable tie anchor points in the engine bay on the drivers side BEFOR you fit the engine and body work. ( other wise you cannot get a drill in the gaps ) Make you're own hole for the steering column to pass through the bulk head and make it some thing like 3 times larger than what is stated. Depending on what coloumn assy they give you. Ignore the prop modification length until you can actually measure the distance between the gear box and diff. Ensure you leave plenty of time so that you're steering column can be cut and welded 3 times before it comes back from Westfield the correct length. Feel free to add any others. Good advice I shall just add a link And to add, fit the wiring loom in the engine bay as best as possible before fitting the engine. Once it's in they'll be very little room to get a drill in to fix any clips needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
