Hi, i have a little problem with the Grip on my falken 275/35/19 when dooing some straight Line Racing. Anyone have experience with some Sticky street tyres, r888, nitto etc. Any advice before plunging in.? I'm thinking some 17x10 ish wheels and some 265-305 wide tyres to go with it.

Yes it is.

Had a few moments to get started on the new dump pipes for the wastegates. The screamer pipes are so loud, especially when only running 10psi. Their open from around 3,5k and up...

And spoiler placed loosly. it will need some tlc to get a propper 100% flush fit, but will get back to that later when prepping other parts for paint.

And Stock boot spoiler removed.... preetttyyyy not cool taking a box cutter to the car to cut the 3m tape to remove the spoiler, but really easy! Took about 5min I Can see that the boot have been painted with the spoiler on at one point, but will be painted anyway, now for the emblems. They have been removed before and the super glued back on I Can see....

And with all the others things going on, the new spoiler showed up. so started taking the boot apart. I'm pretty much lost in all the things going on right now. Will be removing the rear wiper and washer nozzle also, and welding the wiper hole shut before paint.

And just cut some stainless 8mm flanges for the wastegate to exhaust pipeing so i Can get on with those. Also just removed the balance weight from the transmission, welded a normal nut in the transmission crossmember to fit a normal bolt instead of the weightet Stock one. And fittet the poly trans mount. With all the weight i added to the car i Think the balancing weights have no effekt any more.

And diff back in. Now I'll start making the diff brace. Also the last pieces came for my fuel system. Let the hose cutting Fiesta begin!

Had some time to get the old worn rear diff bushing out and get the new poly bush fitted. The old one I could move about with a finger. The new one i rock solid when compared. now i need to get the transmission mount Bushing, the anti Roll bar bushings, and the diff back in and finish the brace setup i'm working on.

So lots of poly bushes just came. Race spec bushes for stiffening up the diff, transmission and anti roll bars.

Thanks. i have been looking alot on this, but i'm working on a solution With this together with a brace of sorts i'm also working on. I'll post something about this shortly also

I hear you. I kinda feel the same Way. the only car i might consider that will replace my z Would be a GTR... but in Denmark they start at around the eqivilant of 90-100k £ so thats not an option. And almost sure that the z at 1,7bar will be a handfull for any GTR

Had a closer look at my diff bushing, as I have had some serious wheel hop when launching when Racing. I always thought that if the bushing didn't leek, it was fine. But this does look like it could need a change. So throwing some poly bushes at the diff and hoping that, together with the new alignment ars, will cure the launch wheel hop. Also trying to get a list of parts done for the new engine build. Lots of parts... :-S I can't remember ever spending so much on a car when it's already Well over the limit of what it will sell at... I kinda hate that, but i also feel that I already crossed the point of no return, so i wan't to see what it will do when all turned up to 11.

Just Got my new id1000 Injectors and looking to order a fuellab fpr to go along with the new fuel/return system. Also looking into a flexfuel sensor so i Would have the option to run E85 without doing anything Else but to put E85 in the tank.

Had some problems with getting the BTI display to initialise and show data. And after a Quick talk and trouble shoot with Brandon that makes them, we found that the aem harnes Can signals are reversed. So switched the Can High and low, and presto! Result. That is the most awesome costumer support i have ever seen! BTI comes HIGHLY recomended from me! With the 8 Pages to scroll trough, there is just so much data! No need for anything Else to show anything.

Thanks, I'm actually getting all the part for a build. and hoping to have it done in the spring. Lots of things On the table right now. looking into E85 also..

And the BTI display just came. awesome piece of kit! you Can see all parameters from the infinity, and you Can set boost and traction control on the 3,5" touch screen. plug and play with the aem net canbus, one connector and you'r done. now i need to work out where to put it.

Thanks. And just got word that my BTI gauge display is on it's Way. Seriously looking forward to getting the 3,5" BTI display hooked up to my aem infinity, it's also has can analog outputs to control traction control and boost. And Can show/log all possible data from the infinity. also still waiting for my ID1000's bought from a member here. When they get here, I'll start plumbing the fuel return system

I'we spend quite a few £ over the last years. i have a Gtm Twinturbo build thread.

Yeh! im fixing some minor things in the setup on the car, and buying parts for the new engine. i'm going for broke. I don't know how that will translate hp wise, but i'm guessing 700ish with the two gt3076's i Got on the car now.

I have found a shop here in Denmark who Can do the balancing for 650£ all included. thats not too bad i my book. And they specialice in V6 and V8 rebuilds. i might go for that when i have all other parts ready.

Thank you. Also great info, and i might send it all out as I haven't found any shop over here that Can do the work.

Thanks. lots of great info. so this beeing such a pita job, what had people then done when building vq's? weighing parts out and putting on a balanced crank?

Yehh, i'we seen some youtube stuf with the V8 guys on the other side of the pond, but never seen it done here. i'm also asking wether it's nessesery? Or it's overkill. If anyone building vq's do it. Or it's "just" weighing out the piston,rods, rings etc, and putting it on a balanced krank?.

Thanks. I'm the one building it. iw'e heard about it but never seen it done here in Denmark. i'we build plenty engines, but never had it done on the 4bangers i build in the past, but the V6 is another kind of monster, so might try to get it done somewhere. i guess they will need the complete setup minus block and heads...
