Pots are less likely to slip than a flat. My 280bhp C20LET has had a few slipping issues, I have been told the pots hold much better.

Rainsport 3s are meant to be good. Old type T1Rs are fine, new ones are meant to be crap. There isn't many tyres available in 195/45R15. That's the problem I currently have.
I have a good set of later Mk2 SR brake calipers (ATE type) £25 posted to most of the UK.
Nice work. Notice any differences? Has it got a speed sensor mapped in to aid with traction?
Thank you :)
A little trip to my Dads

Next up was the gearbox, I wanted to ditch the WR 5th gear in favour of a standard set up. So while doing this I fitted new seals and gaskets.

So I have been busy once again.
Since my engine has been on solid mounts the gear linkage has caught the steering rack going into 5th gear. This was making it very hard to select in anger. Not...
Thank you, they were from eBay. Four for around £5.

Thanks,
it came from a Calibra, you can use Mk3 Cavalier, Corsa B and Astra F shifters.
If you need one let me know as I have 2x Calibra shifters for sale. £27.50 posted to the Uk.
Dan.
Thank you, sounds amazing when launching :)
Just to confirm, does that mean a standard C14SE cam is as good as a performance one?
Thanks.
Yes, I have fitted a turbo solenoid off a diesel Vauxhall. It's on a dash switch. Works well!

So, it's now back together at last. Quite happy with the overall look of the internal shifter.

Amazing work mate! I love the front end and the headlight decals!
A lot of cars do this, don't worry about it. Like mention above it must of spun. Normally they stay tight as they don't tend to turn once the shafts are out.
I just but a LSD in my F20 and it...
Top of the rad (bleed pipe) to the turbo, then the turbo to the header tank. That's how my let is piped up. Works perfectly.
Now finally, the reason I wanted to run an internal shifter was because I wanted to run an exhaust bypass. This is how I did it.

To hold the brake pipes on.

Once that lot was done I tackled the rotten floor.

So it's been a while since I last updated. Basically I have been very busy with other hobbies, commitments and work.
Some already know I have still been busy rectifying faults and improving the...
Top work, should look amazing once done. Nice to see a Lazer blue SR too!

This looks great, love the seats.
X20XER engines are seriously rare here. Nice!
Thanks :) Benn, it was Lewis' and I bought the car off him in 2014. As he already had a project thread I just carried it on.
Thank you :) no I bought the bends etc in a kit. Although my Dad is a fabricator and I have access to his kit, he does however live an hour away so it's often easier to just crack on and do it from...
