Hi , so been a little delay in the build as Mark fell from a ladder early January 2024, while having a CT scan for the fall they found a tumour on his Kidney together with a broken hip, tumour was removed mid February, the tumour was cancer, luckily the tumour was found early and hadn't spread, 6months check up was good , yearly check up in a few weeks. So the car was held up for a while but we are now been back on it for a while.

Water pump is driven by the cam chain, situated behind the cam chain cover.

cars in build with a host of new upgrades; DCT 7 speed gearbox/ CANTCU ecu control. Paddle gearbox control Jenvey Throttle bodies New engine more compression, more aggressive cams. New wiring loom (saves 15kg)

speak to Julian at https://www.facebook.com/pro4mmotorsport , great chap , does some good stuff with car. thanks

Your need to wire the oil pressure sensor into another voltage input and reconfigure the CAL to allow this to work. We would use the Rear lambda input to configure the Pressure sensor to input data. Pressure sensors are normally 5 volt supply but you can buy 12 volt supply sensors. We can also hi jack the oil temp sensor to read pressure as well.

They do take a couple of laps to come up to working temps. We not run AO52’s yet thou. Both the CRS and AO52’s are reasonable in the rain thou which is good.

More time back @ Brands Hatch , did some back to back testing with tyres , swapped over the new Nankang CRS which made a huge difference to the car after running Zestinio 07RS. A few photo's. Back in the Abbey workshop now for the SCS Delta Motorsport ABS system to be fitted and doing some initial investigation into fitting a BMW DCT 7 speed gearbox with CANTCU control should make the car even quicker.

suspension dampers set up you get what you pay for I am afraid to say. a quality damper costs. If your not racing then you dont need a triple adjustable damper, do you know how to adjust compression/rebound dampers? if not a single adjustable damper will be fine.

Been a while since we have been on here , we lost Tony late last year the man that started Abbey nearly 60 years ago. We got our 350Z race car back built after a big accident late in 2022. Had the Car back out @ Brands Hatch last week for initial shake down before we start racing the car again. #eatsleepracerepeat

so the way to fit the front cover with the sump already fitted is to remove the dowels from the engine , measure the dowel run the same size drill through the front cover so the dowels slide into the cover nice and easily. fit the front cover then refit the dowels to position the front cover in the correct position.

we not had a REVUP car on the dyno yet , we know everything works on a RevUp as the ECU is the same Gen as DE car. Everything is tunable like with Uprev but we are able to offer more control and tunability.
