3Sixty Chat / Re: 360 front tyres rubbing on wheel arches
« on: June 09, 2019, 05:20:45 PM »
215 for the front are correct, 275 for the rears. That’s what I have on the genuine wheels. My profile is 40 not 30 so looks like your inner arch has not been pressed in at all, or very little. Options are remove hub and knock the arch back, or cut out effected area and weld in a plate so wheels clear.

Long day fitting the parts for the rear brakes and the last driveshaft. Big thanks to Lee for the videos   8)

Repainted a few sections of the engine bay where we removed the old exhaust hangers. Then fitted the exhaust that’s been ceramic coated, then rear frame refitted and exhaust tips fitted. Just doing this took 12 hours :o everything takes time. Brakes and front wide track setup being finished/fitted this week.

Agree more than likely the spacers are not true. The last 4 dna cars in the garage all spacers needed milling to run true.

Yes you hit the nail on the head there. Quadruple your estimated timescales and you might be somewhere close to the time. Exhaust is away being ceramic coated and due back this week as we have had to wait for the colour chosen to be shipped in from the states, collected the intercooler pipes which are coated in silver ceramic and we started to build everything up on the removable rear frame. Barry also collected the new driveshafts from the engineers which have taken nearly 6 weeks to make. But this is the same lead time for anyone, first they have to be made then sent away within a big batch to be hardened elsewhere and then back to the engineers for quality control before we could finally get our hands on them. I’m sure there are cheaper and quicker options but with 300bhp+ and serious torque to the wheels we don’t want any issues. We decided to have them two pack painted in gloss black. They cannot be powder coated due to the heat process. The shafts are all made up read to fit this week. 8) All the intercooler silicone pipe clips due this week and in W4 stainless.

These are the things that take time. The gear linkage parts all being made from scratch at the engineers. This has been designed to work on the mr2 cables to the Ford gearbox. All rose jointed and fully adjustable. Next was the intercooler. I found a supplier selling new genuine Ford ones for £60 so couldn’t say no. I have cut off the brackets that are not needed. Spent the day checking the welds on the boost pipes as they came back from the welders. Pressured up to 40 psi which is so overkill but want to ensure no leaks. These are now ready for ceramic coating and hopefully back next weekend.

Won’t be stonleigh this year Steve, too much of a rush. We have been sorting lots of items needed, upgraded fuel pump as standard pressure not enough for new engine,  braided fuel lines etc etc. Clutch is now sorted, brakes just need braided fuel lines measured and ordering and Barry working on the conversion for the throttle set up. Also the gear selector is completed and back from the powder coaters. The boost pipes are being tig welded this week. The rear cage was removed for welding up and powder coating. Also the adjustable exhaust hangers work brilliantly which make it so easy to line up the tips.

Yep they are genuine caps  8) As with all the genuine parts I’ve got on the car I have been able to get them at a really good price and I didn’t pay anything near those prices mentioned. To be honest a majority of the time it costs more to try and replicate correctly than to get the genuine parts.

With the driveshafts positioned in the gearbox and in the new hubs it now shows how much they have to be extended. A set have been mocked up and sent away to be made and hardened.

Transfers fitted to calipers and dynomat completed. Also engine tested for clearance.
