My 3B Coupe project - Total rebuild

[AndyP]

Up the baby boost then Andy!

I don't need to, look, Dmitri says it making 600bhp

"Guys, I am sorry, I was wrong. 8.0:1 CR is a horrible idea. You should skim the head and block, to achieve 10:1 CR, and your car will make 600hp with 1.5 bar boost"

Steering wheel and rear diff are all I can think of

[Error404]

Yeah, the speedo

Big day today on the trip down to MRC

Andy is there any part of the car that has actually done 200k

[AndyP]

Wow, we'll done Andy, it certainly goes well.... Thanks for the ride.

Thanks for the ride in yours, good god that thing is fast! I've just done some calculations on bhp/ton

Yours 486bhp/1200Kg = 405bhp/ton
Mine 380bhp(?)/1450Kg = 262bhp/ton

That's a huge difference, I just need to work out how to get 250Kg out of the S2

Still had a great drive home up the Fosse Way ( B4455 ) , great road, perfect for the S2 to stretch it's legs

Thanks for sharing tips on the inside trim
Previous owner on my car had left the car to a company that changed stereo all speakers adding a lot of new wiring and put a subwoofer in the trunk......... Not a single piece of the interior mounted back properly and without damage

Nice one.

Is using TIG for plastic trims not getting a bit extreme?

[Error404]

thanks mate, will come in handy when I get round to this job

[AndyP]

Awesome, I was wondering just the other day about the best way to solve this problem. What adhesive did you use?

I used Bostik Matrix 500, anything like Sikaflex or Tiger seal should do the job. I deliberatley made the base plate over size as surface area is the key when using adhesives.

I'm wondering if something similar can be done with the bits of plastic trim that hold the plastic brackets, ie rear avant good trim and rear plastic trims. Mine has pretty much all of them broken.

[Rocco]

did you do something with the wiring that you and me know?

[newsh]

That's brilliant, well done

Now I can get on with trimming them.
