lol, gearlinkage you say?lmao i can make the bars up but i'd need to have the car to sort the bearing in the tunnel bit...and the main cost in the hockley stuff is the joints, will have an investigate when the car is done

not 100% when i'm going to the ring this year, and havent booked any trackdays yet...

anyways, a quick update
went to the garage today having finally got my hands on some side spacers for the bearing!
like these

so, put rose joints in bars

spacers go here, see the blasted powder coating? that will not be a production model feature!!

they're on!

bar is at a slightly upward angle, perfect!

and that means the car is on its wheels!!

i even got in a did the mandatory broom broom noises whilest playing with the steering and gearlever!

excuse the chavvy hat, growing my hair!!lmao

spent the rest of the evening putting brians pugeot back together, so thats all folks!

pmsl chav!!!!!!!!! lmao lmao

**kennybarbour** · 17-01-2007 22:18

tie bars look really good lee, will wait to see how they stand the test of time

**lee303** · 17-01-2007 22:19

cheers mattlmao

kenny, think the bars will be fine, jacked the car up on one of the cross member brackets with no worries too

**dhdev** · 17-01-2007 23:01

**kennybarbour** · 17-01-2007 23:34

sweet, i was worried about the crossmember boxes maybe getting ****ed by a rock/kerb/bit of road but then again i do tend to drive on silly roads

**rodgerq** · 18-01-2007 00:51

i wouldnt class that hat as chavvy. just because its a skipped hat? i wear one every single day at work and when im out workin on the car, keeps the head nice and warm for a start. it needs to be at a higher angle for it to be considered chavvy.

lee303 - Nice work on the tie bars!!

**CraigGreen** · 18-01-2007 08:59

Tie bars look quality. Ive yet to see any powder coating to come from this country without flaws (maybe thats just local coaters?)

Tie bars at an upward angle? Is that from the tie bar brkt to the TCA end?

Btw. Whats the hose in this pic?

**stuartp** · 18-01-2007 10:44

looks like a temp oil pressure sensor for when he ran the engine. Dont quote me tho!! nice work lee!! I need some advice on the cam belt buisness. il PM you!!

**lee303** · 18-01-2007 12:50

10 points stulmao pm away

and craig, a slightly upward angle from tca to cross memeber, will leave the bar level with a bit of compression(i.e braking)

**CraigGreen** · 18-01-2007 12:52

What does that acheive? Is it a good thing?

Is it to do with the anti-dive (nose lift) geometry?

**lee303** · 18-01-2007 12:59

yup, no leverage effect fron the tie bar when braking

**lee303** · 18-01-2007 13:35

just ordered my sensors for the dash

anyone thoinking of getting an AIM i would reccomend going to aim-tec rather than dataspares, they are much more helpful and friendly, and their sensors are cheaper!!

www.aim-tec.co.uk

**jonlem** · 18-01-2007 13:57

Do they deal with Stack at all Lee ?

I'm stil after a few bits for my stack dash.

Cars looking great, tie bars look superb.

**lee303** · 18-01-2007 19:45

not sure tbh jon, they are from a karting background though so doubtful, might be worth an ask though

**jonlem** · 18-01-2007 21:19

Yes, maybe if I had of clicked on the link I would of noticed that doh.

Been quoted some ridiculous money by Stack to have some work carried out.

**lee303** · 20-01-2007 15:18

righty, small update

had to fix the ford first thing today, poxy thing broke a spring on me!

no idea when i did it, just got in it saturday and heard all sorts of knocks and bangslmao

all fixed now though...
then just made some twisted pair wires for the sensors on my engine which dont use
thermo couples, they should be here next week so will start getting the dash sorted then...

**stuartp** · 20-01-2007 19:41

arrrr the joys of wiring!!

**Benn** · 20-01-2007 19:42

**stuartp** · 20-01-2007 19:49
