[Dpnova]

she should shift, nice one mate

[Ben]

Strange choice of Gearbox :?:

Was the car outside tyre place in Westbury on Thursday Ben :?:

[SKoob]

Nope, that was my other one, was getting the tyres put on the MO's 8)
I've heard that the f15 offers very good acceleration and from going out in Ad's car when he was running an f15 on this engine I was very impressed :) Besides all I could find in this area at the time were either f10's or f13W's

[ANDYRACER]

Looks cool. Nice to see your sticking with the 8v. That shell looks clean though. :D

[Ben]

lol you emailed me 3 times about F13CR's and i said yes everytime, I found the F15 on the Corsa good between 40-80 but not quite as tight as the F13's 0-50.

I thought it was your car, was on way to Westbury Auctions lol.

[Ste L]

cool. loving the red bull fuel filter! lol

that'll be the ignition coil that....

[Adam Moran]

Looking good Ben ;)

As for the F15... well mine wasnt standed matey... thought u knew that :?

Jim will post im sure and he'll tell you what FD it had in ;)

[SKoob]

thought all you had was an LSD, didn't know the FD had been changed :oops: ah well i'm sure it will be rapid enough for the moment 8)

[Adam Moran]

It will be fine mate... I didnt really have the gearbox that long and i had a standerd F15 in before that without any problems ;)

[scott.parker]

Nice one ben glad you got something going now mate,lloks l;ike its going to be a real good one :wink:

Scott

[Snowface]

be interesting to see where the cam comes in power. Spec is v. similar to mine.

Does the Facet pump regulate the pressure to 3psi?

[SKoob]

Nah, I have got a fuel pressure regulater, Ad sent me the previous rolling road graph, it got 118bhp@6525rpm at the wheels. I'll be taking it on the rollers very soon after completion to see what it makes round here 8)

[Adam Moran]

The cam power comes in at around 2k.... i had it set like that when i got it tuned at Hitec motorsport in birmingham (it hasnt been changed since Ben has owned it ;))

As for the fuel regulation hes got a filter king regulator to go on (you are putting it on arnt you ben :? )

Ad

[scott.parker]

Just a silly though Ben,some people call there cars (when there yello) flying custard,but in this case its more "flying mustard" :lol: sorry..

Scott

[SKoob]

:lol: the name of the car changes depending on my mood, if its been a good day and things are going right its the yellow beast, its its been a crap day and nothing goes right then its called many names mainly expletives :lol:

[Jim]

The gearbox that I got from Adam has the newer F13CR Cluster with a 4.53FD :D The main difference between the older F13 and the newer F13 is that the ratios on the newer F13 are identical to that of the F15 clusters.

Either way, your cars looking good Skoob, look forward to seeing how it performs. If I remember, I think Adam put down a pretty impressive time up the 1/4.

Jim

[SKoob]

his cars best time with that engine was 15.1, but IIRC it wasn't Ad driving :? ?

I think you're right. Also, I think it may have been on slicks at the time?

Jim

[SKoob]
