Jaffas 2.5 classic, chat

[2-jaffacake-tone]

been spending again
Lateral Performance high capacity big wing sump, with RCMS catch can, oil cooler with pipes and take off and Forge Alloy strut brace to hold the catch can.

Sump has been modified so it has a port for a temperature probe, and also has a -10 male for the catch can return. Sump, together with oil cooler holds about 7.5l

Catch can has been modfied to have a -10 male for the return to the sump (-8 as standard) and goes through braided lines to the sump via an Earls one way flapper valve which stops oil flowing back up into the catch can.Hoses have also been fire sleeved.
Forge alloy strut brace, which has a boss welded on to hold the catch can, so the can sits up nice and high.

Mate, it's scary how quickly the wonga just disappears isn't it.

How long do you think it will be now before it will be ready?

[2-jaffacake-tone]

finished the seam welding today will be in the bodyshop next week for paint:thumb:

[AndyWRX]

comming on nicely mate really good read

[Chunk]

Sounding good mate. Wish i had the pennies to do a project like this


I'm planning on a catch can soon. Not got a clue how to fit them tho

[2-jaffacake-tone]

right as normal things dont go to plan... was due in for paint last week, then we decided on some mods to the boot floor. witch is in the prosses of being cut out and doing a flat boot conversion. will have some pics on wednesday

the idea of this is to lose some weight, easer to mount fuel set up on a flat floot

[2-jaffacake-tone]

pics of the boot being cut out, no turning back now

Now that make's it easy to change the ARB

[2-jaffacake-tone]

still on it

[C. J.]

I can see the light !

But not the end of the tunnel!

[2-jaffacake-tone]

few more of tonights work..


inner wheel arch is now atached to the chassis leg


rear pannel cut away


ally angle piece for the new floor to sit on


started to make a template

Tone

Are these the pics that disappeared?

Steve

[2-jaffacake-tone]

yup not sure where they went but there here now

It's happened a couple of times recently. Pictures don't show for a while. Nick had the same problem the other day.

Bloody forum

And........ getting back on topic.

That is a serious amount of work you are doing there mate, it really is going to be a special one though!

yup not sure where they went but there here now

They went for moderation or perhaps modification

If you was to raise the floor at the rear giving a sloped boot floor, would you be able to put a nice big diffuser set up at the rear?

[2-jaffacake-tone]

the boot floor will remain flat. i have been thinking about having a defuser like the zen car, just not sure about the exhaust as most of the cars who have a big ally defuser run front mount turbo set up

started to strip the engine bay got rid of the abs unit, also started to dummy up for the rotated inlet manafold, moving the aulternator to one side etc


also a pic of my seat belts

[BIG"E"]

Nice one Tone


Brad obviously got on well.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

he was well supervised should have some more pics mid week hopfully with a flat boot.
looking at battry recolation kits

Love the seat belts. Really surprised at the colour

This is a great thread Tone, keep it going with lots of pics mate.

[2-jaffacake-tone]

just brought a 6 speed gearbox very very good price

[Anger]

A steal i would say

[2-jaffacake-tone]

anger the one i was talking about my mate had, i had a look at tonight and its got dccd aswell

mine was 100 pound cheeper

has done 30k out of a 05sti dont know about dccd untill to moz when its turns up.

[Anger]

So your still gonna need the controller, theres one forsale on 22B

[C. J.]

Not if he goes solaris or by the him it moves I'll have one for sale !

[Anger]

Very true , but he might want to do donuts and the solaris wont know that lol... a newage one wont fit a classic

[C. J.]

Yes it will DCCD pro only do one manual controller for both newage and clasic plus has he not got a newage box !

[Anger]

So are you saying he will want one now

[C. J.]

no just that it would fit

[Anger]

But the map on the solaris wont let you change it as you like when you want

[C. J.]

one less thing to worry about if its set up how you want it
will leave it for tone to comment as to what he wants and leave it at that

[2-jaffacake-tone]

not even sure if it has dccd

the solaris s6 cant drive it directly its needs a high current driver = small little circuit, if i wanted just to open the diff i could just wire it to the handbrake switch ie 1 click on the hand brake opens the diff witch would be ideal for manovering or wire it into the origianal controller. once set up i dont see why the dccd cant be controled by the CAL switch useing tps and vehicle speed ie turn switch to number 6(tecos carpark mode)

[2-jaffacake-tone]

6 speed box next to a 5 speed. box has come out of an MY05 STI
NOT dccd but cant complane for the money i paid:squint:


template has been made and been copied into the compusite alloy.

[666subaru]

Starting to take shape Tone slowly, cant wait to see this beast finished

That box was the bargin of 2009. Well done mate

[Chunk]

Nice collection of bits building up. Cant wait to see the finished thing

[C. J.]

comon pull you finger out or you get the award for longest project thread & crowman wont like that
Looking good & also looking ward to the finished project

[2-jaffacake-tone]

iam in no rush, trying to do it with out owing any money to the bank so once built iam not still paying for it 4 yrs later.

this weekend i will mount the 6 speed in and make sure it clears,some people say you have to fetttle the tunnel others say they fit ok,so i thought before it gets painted inside i will do a dummp up.
