I broke it quickly...And repeatedly...Chaste White Rebuild

[BenLewisMAV]

That. is... Lovely Exhaust envy is real. A decent amount of silencer in there too.

The plumbed-in screamer is a win also. Screamers are cool but I might be getting old as I find them tiring after a while - especially if you want to push on without having everyone in a half mile know about it (or get/stay on some tracks!).

Are you planning on wrapping, or coating, any of it? The transmission tunnel can get a bit toasty if you do track it, the gearbox oil might be a bit happier too - hard to tell how close it is from pics! Doubt it will an issue if you are mostly hard road driving.
Lovely from Stu and associates, coming together nicely.

The down pipe will definitely be wrapped but not decided on the rest of the exhaust. It looks like the back box has some form of shielding but I may wrap a little further down from the down pipe in the mid section.

It will mainly be a road car but I’d like to do some 1/2 mile & 1 mile events.

Yes I’m not sure about screamer pipe yet, I originally wanted it vented to atmosphere so was a little surprised to see it plumbed back into the system. I may change this at a later date but I can’t see this being an issue regarding my performance goals. The only reason I wanted it open was for noise and flames haha . I’ll decide before mapping !

Stu says they can easily repack the silencers as they break up in the future but will wait and see how it sounds. Really looking forward to a start up vid, keen to see how the half bridge port sounds.

Quick shot of down pipe.

 

[JoeLanger]

is that a 4" V band? what turbo is that?

Yes 4” v band.

Holset HX50

 

[JoeLanger]

Thats cool, My EFRs only 3" v band so has a reducer to 4" to connect, which is a bit shit. Would prefer a 4" v band

 

[Francob]

Yes 4” v band.

Holset HX50

Tell a lie I think it’s a 3.5inch v band outlet into 4” down pipe.

Sh*t's gonna howl like a banshee when she's finished, can't wait to hear it!

Hopefully not too much longer now.

I’m looking forward to firstly seeing it start and then being able to actually drive it again.

Sadly I only managed to get around 300 miles of driving in before it blew and the vast majority of those were motorway miles in busy traffic.

Your going to love it, with what your doing it will be a totally different animal once it’s been mapped.

A set of Sparco Evo’s, just waiting on seat rails from Pro4m.

 

[Francob]

A few updates, seat rails arrived from Julian at Pro4m, they look good.

Also Stu sent a video of car running today, progress is being made.

 

[Super_Triple_L]

Amazing mate, sounds beautiful - spoke to Stu yesterday, he's back to mapping now, so shouldn't be long now?

 

[Fiddy]

Sounds awesome. Is it a street or bridge?

Hopefully I’ll have it back in the next few weeks, I think he has a few things to sort. Said he’ll do some miles for me so I know it’s all good then I’ll collect it.

 

[Francob]

Yes half bridge.

Nice one mate!
Not been out of action too long has it?!..

 

[Copyninja]

how much were those seat rails and will they fit any bucket seat of just the sparcos?

 

[Francob]

I bought it end of July last year and broke it within 1 week haha.

Stu has has it since early September.

I believe they will fit other seats but I’d speak to Julian at Pro4m to be sure. I think I paid around £320 for the set.
