tttttada Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Why dont you get a really low et wheel with a bit of width so you dont need spacers?Ive had 35mm spacers before and they look scarily wide wouldn't like to imagine 45mm ones I will get custom wheels.Just need to test with spacers first, and see how each combination handles.

I think your car is quality my friend, sounds incredible and handles very well, love it.With all that hard work its time you enjoyed it. 59sec is very impressive. I've only seen a handful of cars that lap Tsukuba under 59 seconds, and only one was private owned. Only race teams can afford a car like that. I believe the event was called REV Speed time attack. Teams from the UK, Australia and the US come to compete every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karting Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) Nice car and goes well.I have to say though, you need a different seat, one which actually stops you leaning your head so far sideways. That will not be helping your driving at all leaning so much into corners. Or if you dont want to change seats you need to somehow get out the habbit of doing it.Im not saying this as some dickhead whos watched videos and thinks they know all, ive actually raced cars on a decent level in the past until sponsorship dried up.I do really really like the attention of detail to your car though and the looks Edited June 7, 2011 by karting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttttada Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 On to the next stage, throttle bodies. I had absolutely no clue on how to proceed with this build, but thanks to a couple of super helpful members on this board (Mitchell and CasperGTI) I am pretty confident building a AFH/AVY hybrid with ITB's.I bought an used AFH head off ebay.Was dirt cheap but in pretty bad shape from sludge/oil; pretty much alot of filth.Took a good 4 hours with a wire brush and got it to look like this.Still got some work to do around the corners, but for now it is ok.These I will keep for now but will hit the can when the Schrick Group H kit arrives.The journals and tappets I need to keep.The Group H kit includes a "spacer" to convert the hydraulic tappets to solid tappets.I am guessing they are some kind of shims?? Will know for sure when it gets here.That is it for now, I am getting some brake work done for now. Will post them up when they are completed.
