The GTM Supercharged Silver Pheonix
andy james replied to andy james's topic in Motorsport & Track Days
Thanks Kieran. The HSA puts up the competitors list as they enter which is class A 4. (2/4wheel drive). The All Circuits Sprint Championship run by the Tunbridge Wells MC which includes a 2wd class doesn't give give you a chance to check out the opposition so I will have to wait and see what my rivals drive after the closing entry date. -
The GTM Supercharged Silver Pheonix
andy james replied to andy james's topic in Motorsport & Track Days
A few pics I took yesterday. Went out in the car this afternoon and it's incredible how well the car puts down the power now. When i exited a roundabout and floored the throttle instead of the usual vague powerless feeling I used to get it now digs in and I can feel in my back the grip and the wheels driving forward! Can't wait to try her out with the Rays shod with R888R toyos. The downside is when I was on full lock putting the car back in the garage with the back wheel hopping and the springs doing their stuff my Mrs recons it sounded like Quasimodo dragging his club foot along carrying a knackered mattress. Lol. Once again a big thank you to my mates Bob and Chris for doing what they do best at the Zed Shed. The las time she was this high I was heading for the trees! Chris and Bob looking at a large clump of Gurston Down grass wedged under the diff cover! Exhaust,prop and diff out. Gearbox was next. Bob attacking the old ACT clutch while Chris looks on! Is this a genuine Japanese factory marking? Chris took the the clutch apart so the flywheel could be fitted. We were all very impressed with the quality of the engineering by Extreme. Clutch and flywheel fitted. The reassembly caused the boys no problems and the clutch bled in Chris's words far easier than expected. Awesome performance from these guys. They are out there and if you cand find them............. -

The GTM Supercharged Silver Pheonix

A huge thank you to Chris and Bob at the Zed Shed. At 9.45 I rocked up with a huge bag of assorted donuts and McDonald's for 6 with a newly rebuilt diff and a clutch. At 6pm we had managed to remove the exhaust,prop,diff,gearbox,replace diff,fit new clutch and slave cylinder! While they were poncing about with the boring bits I managed to sneak in a quick oil change! lol That is a huge amount of work on the drivetrain to achieve in one day. Once fitted Chris and I went out to an empty car park and made ourselves dizzy driving round in circles backwards and forwards to run the diff in. The Extreme clutch has a very soft pedal and the bite is not too aggressive,throttle response with the new flywheel is awesome and it now takes all the power when flat floor shifting. The Kazz diff will take some time to get used to as it don't like going round slow corners without hopping the inside wheel but that is a small trade off for the amount of shove you get when you exit a corner and it really squats down under full power. I know the Zed is a heavy old bird but I'm thinking I now have a road going race car! I Have some cracking pictures taken today which I will post tomorrow evening. -
Happy birthday Hugh

Weekend bump!!

Arc remap done and I have to say the flat floor shifting is bloody awesome. The last time I changed gear this quick was crashing up through a Honda CR 500 crosser! Picked up the rebuilt diff this evening. I have two good friends who are going to help me fit this and the Clutch very soon. -
Great interest so far guys. Looking like a club stand could be on.

Happy birthday mate!

All our cars are not yet ready! Lol

The Z club have attended this show in the past and It's been very good. I know we all love our Banzia Jap cars but this is a big show for all Marques and from my previous experience it's really good! It's run by the Kelsey group who organise Japfest so the online process of organising a club stand,passes and track time should be fairly straightforward. I'm going to put this out to you guys to see if there is enough interest so I can book a club stand. This is the link http://www.traxshows.co.uk/ 1.andy James 2.

Took my Turbosmart BOV off to give it a clean lube as it stuck open on the way to Ace Cafe yesterday so my Supercharger was blowing compressed air down onto the front wheel! All sorted now. Maybe the GLC could give me a job as a road sweeper......

Great pics David! The black car Dip is owned by Ash and the GTR belongs to a chap you may know called Bennet! Lol

andy james replied to andy james's topic in National Events & Shows
As members are coming from all over the country I'm sure sure nearer the time regional mini convoys will be organised for the sat or early Sunday morning. Depending on final numbers we could arrange to all meet up early and convoy into the show. -
