Jamesy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 BACK ON THE ROAD!!!!! Just a week after the Suprapod melted gearbox diaster, Lee has managed to get my car back on the road again as of last night Massive thanks for the superbly quick turnaround as usual, and as previously mentioned to Mark Newman for the donar box (and Jamie n Ricky for the logistics!!) Does feel wired driving with a stock TC for now, but great to be back behind the wheel again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 nice mate, so when is the new rebuilt stuff going in? lol not for a while dude!! To be honest i dont actually need the BL built box again til start of next summer and he shows/suprapod etc... i'll prob use this stock one over winter. Going to send the BL box to Lee's autobox specialst and leave it with him to tinker with, and upgrade hopefully a few more of the weaker parts that BL dont do as standard so it will handle the power better.

Jamesy Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 one day ill match you bud lol, fair play as i know the stock box spits its dummy out if you hit it with too much.... shame To be honest my mate its running 550ftlbs in his aristo for years with a stock box with no issues - they are pretty robust. Its not so much the bhp that kills them, more the torque!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Spent some time on the car today, and concentrated on the headlights. They were so badly yellow you could hardly see through them. Used a few coats of autosol metal polisher and loads of elbow grease. Well pleased with how they came out, only thing i could do with is the large chrome ring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 they look good mate, another good product to use is g3 compound works a treat and on paintwork as well. You can buy if off ebay as I think its a trade product so you cant buy it in the shops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Had arch enemy over today to get my rear arches flared as the new 315 tyres were rubbing a bit. Managed to get a decent 15-20mm tug on them. Just need to get them blown over now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 How did they flare them? lots of rolling or pull them out somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 Same tool as the inner lip roll, but then they change the angle mate so it pushes against the arch more. Then just keep pushing it more and more gradually and the arch starts to flare. Gotta be careful it dont dent above the arch though as the inner skin moves around so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
