  1. The two ways we've found work well is to weld a length of 1" box section to the tube, then with with car in the air stick a big bolt through the box and hammer the tube down. Failing that pull the arm off the bush so you're left with the tube on the chassis. Cut off the rubber and use a hydraulic puller to pull the tube off the chassis.

  2. They're great cars. A friend / customer has the turbo version - we've just fitted Syvecs to it, although it's not 100% finished yet. Should make around 320bhp which will be great fun. The owner is hoping to compete in Time Attack next year with it, after he's fitted a few more go faster bits.

     

    Couple of pics here:

  3. Good to meet you trackpig. Had a great day out on track, Cadwell is brilliant. Vid looks superb. Seems like we were pretty much even on track - turns out we have very similar car spec: same tyres, brake setup, suspension (pretty much) and standard engine - although mines got no interior and a cage.

     

    All good fun, got a bit of an oil leak now though.

  4. The biggest thing that got me thinking is why aren't the mining machine manufacturers not running the machines themselves? Guess its the old "when theres a gold rush sell shovels" thing...

  5. I've done a bit of CAN bus reverse engineering. I used a CANdo interface - makes it nice and easy as it'll list all the nodes and give you a table of data in real time and will also log the stream if you like. You can also send data onto the bus to make stuff happen. I was helping the guys from Syvecs get the 350Z dash board (engine temp, rev counter, CEL etc) and ABS wheels speeds etc for their 350z kit.
