Favourite forum car, not necessarily the best. ;)

[AndysR]

Nice to see you've got it back and are happy with it, although goodness knows why you'd want it back so keenly with the wet weather we're currently having. Boot wise the peel is easily sorted with a polish :)

[AndysR]

Looks stunning James :)

[MoleT-5R]

Jimbo doesn't think so, the rain came down on the way to trax and he slowed to 40mph on the motorway as they didn't feel safe to him.

[T5frankie]

?his are lower profile than mine but mine really grip hard,...........i tested them well lol

[MoleT-5R]

?his are lower profile than mine but mine really grip hard,...........i tested them well lol

he's on 18's ?? on 35 profile I guess and your on 40's ???

[claymore]

he's on 18's ?? on 35 profile I guess and your on 40's ???

Interesting, I have 225 x 40 x 18 on the t-5k and 225 x 45 x 17 on the t-5r and they're both quite bad in the wet, but better than the ditch finders that were on the t-5r previously.

[MoleT-5R]

but they work in the wet on Frankies ????

[claymore]

but they work in the wet on Frankies ????
perhaps we dont drive fast enough and don't get enough heat into the tyres ;)

[MoleT-5R]

perhaps we dont drive fast enough and don't get enough heat into the tyres ;)

so thats the secret, just keep it flat out... be a great excuse for speeding in the rain.... had to keep my tyres warm...lol

[Wobbly Dave]

Looks very well indeed Jimmy

Mine are 225/40/18, not toooo bad in the wet it's just the standing water you have to watch they like to float lol

[T5RPete]

Jim that looks fantastic!

Those tyres certainly are different! Have you had any dry weather to test them out yet??

[claymore]

they are awesome in the dry, on the evo triangle last year you could feel them lifting the tarmac up under braking....lol

[T5RatherAmusin]

theyr probly ££££e cos theyr bald on the outside! lol ;)

1st time I tested them I ripped the diff out of the m59 box, I personally like the squelchy sound you get going over the white lines lol

[MoleT-5R]

wonder how they compare to toyo r888's

[claymore]

wonder how they compare to toyo r888's

Having used both, I would say the Syron is a lot grippier but I don't think they last long but you can buy 2 Syrons for the price of one Toyo

[T5frankie]

my fronts lasted 2000 miles, but the 1st 1000 was running my engine in lol

[MoleT-5R]

mine lasted 30 miles, but the gearbox didn't....lol

[Jamest5r]

New little shiny bit to help me hold the boost, noticed at york that I wasn't holding boost to my satisfaction so -34 it is :)

[smithy]

I've never seen one of those .that should help with boost then like the -31 did but that actuator has to be 8yrs old now .so proberly about time mate.

[AndysR]

Very nice :)

[MoleT-5R]

funny that, I was just thinking of making up an actuator setting tool, rather along the lines of MRP's as this weekend was a ball ache trying to get stuff reset, so time to make some turbo tuning equipment me thinks...

[Jamest5r]

Seems to hold boost rather nicely :)

Yep another box bit the dust, but it does give me an excuse to fit another with a quaife which I wasn't going to do till winter time.

Will be done within the next 3 weeks for definite as retro rides is end of august

[stribo]

Maybe you should have left it auto. ;)

fit a quickshift plate and do the side throw mod when you fit the new box and you'll enjoy it even more;)

[MoleT-5R]

I know about the quickshift mod, but what is the side throw mod?, is that a similar idea?but just moving the side lever pin closer to its pivot point ?

exactly what I had in mind for the name of the mod, but thanks for the confirmation pic

[p fandango]

^^^^^^ where do we get one of them from???
the lever comes off very easily by knocking out the roll-pin, then grind the original pin off & drill a new hole for a nut & bolt

[Volvostorm]

I was told by a Mr T.Williams, that if you fit the side movement linkage off a T4, it will reduce the travel for us :)

[JT]

cheaper and easier to drill the existing:)

[Jamest5r]

Will it stop me breaking gearbox's?? :)

[t5 pete]

Nope the short shift will probably just help you do the syncros as well tbh I was more than happy with just replacing the old bushes for the brass ones

Cool, I now know not to try launching mine too hard!

Guess I will never try out my launch control ;)

[stribo]

Nope the short shift will probably just help you do the syncros as well tbh I was more than happy with just replacing the old bushes for the brass ones

Had my short shift fitted over a year now, so far no problems, did have the 'box flushed and new fluid put in just to be safe. :D

Yikes! That crack is bigger than it first looked from under the car... you could only see the blown out part. I have to say I've never seen one crack the casing all the way to the drive shaft. Top job no half measures eh? :)

[Jamest5r]

So how do you feel about the Quaife LSD?

Takes a.little getting used to but loving it so.far, hope you get your pass for the 20/21st. mate :)

Nice work. Can't wait to see it in action again!

[Wobbly Dave]

Do you feel like you get better traction?

[Jamest5r]

Oh yes much better should be interesting :)

Well spent a little time dissecting Jimbobs last gearbox to find ( as expected ) two planet gears ejected completely from the diff unit, cracking stuff you could say...

Bad diff vs Good diff, as you'll see the 2 small planet gears are totally ejected from the box bar a couple of remnants

quite impressive the destructive power of the torque in your car changing from 2nd to 3rd on the strip, luckily for me the part I require is intact and will reconstruct my oil-less 10v box and YES I WILL PUT OIL IN IT THIS TIME......LOL

Ouch!

[Jamest5r]

Ouch!

Exactly what my wallet said lol

[MoleT-5R]

As you can see in the pic's there are only 3 small remnants of the planet gears found inside the box, some had fallen one during removal and handing no doubt, part of them whistled past Jimbobs door mirror as he tried to push on in 3rd, by all accounts......lol

Neal sent me a couple down years ago and they were very good, just where I live the wind can rush through the street and eventually the all died a death.

But they certainly helped me out, thanks again Neal

[Jamest5r]

Thought I'd dig the bitch out as spring is here lol, started 1st time with a jump so treated it to a wash and changed the front tyres for some of those Dunlop sport maxx :), still needs a couple of wishbones and I'm going to get it mapped again :)

[S70T5Chris]

Mapped again? How come?

[Nealevo]

Mapped again? How come?

He having it limited to 56mph

[Jamest5r]

Mapped again? How come?

Not really happy with the way it pulls tbh, Mark Shead did what he could with the TT but to quote him "it's a bit clunky to use " Tim can do a far better job now with the standard ecu's, i know there's a lot more in it I'm running 2 bar of boost ffs it should be absolutely metal but it's not feels flat in the mid range, discussed it with Tim before my hols so will be going there once I sort the wishbones.

[S70T5Chris]

Cool beans. You won't be disappointed mate. He has a such a precise understanding of what he's doing and what is needed. You won't possibly get better, I can guarantee you that. And what's more, he's not interested in chasing figures, it's purely about how the car drives.

[t5 pete]

Still looks mucky green go wash it again.
Just had the gul mapped this weekend well impressed drives great and with the progressive boost it should be ideal on the quater mile.
The thing I've seen over the years is most tuners just wack full boost at 3k yeah it feels great but then is flat uncontrolled and useless the way he's done mine it just keeps pulling and pulling while being in total Control.

[Nealevo]

Still looks mucky green go wash it again.

It's not mucky green, it's mould, he must have left it out over winter...

[Jamest5r]

It's not mucky green, it's mould, he must have left it out over winter...

Sorry lads curry turned up and food got priority :)

Was a long afternoon,:), all good apart from having a knackered rear knock sensor and a sticky throttle cable which I'll change then return, now drives and pulls so much smother just running off actuator pressure only mbc shut, pulls at 24psi all the way to 7500 rpm which equates to 112 mph in 3rd with my box, so all in all I'm a happy man, thanks to Tim and Ben for there efforts :)

Knock sensors changed, check

New lambda, fail, bastward wouldn't come undone need some heat and a ramp me thinks

Correct no use to me :), but thanks :), knowing us we'll probably get drunk and end up changing it in a field lol

[t5 pete]

Thay sounds like a great idea to me

[Jamest5r]

If anything goes wrong we'll just nick bits off the T10 parts car :)

[The Flying Moose]

Thay sounds like a great idea to me

I agree too, be plenty of wood to prop it up and I'm sure we can start a fire underneath to provide heat?

How's the throttle cable to do? Think mine needs changing too.

It's a bitch to get out of the bulkhead it's held in with 1 way plastic tabs, you can't pull it out by hand well at least I couldn't lol got a screw driver and hammer and gave it a tap on the tabs you can get in there if you bend it back abit.

Where did you get it from mate and price? Fancy doing another ? ;-)


I thought yours felt a bit stiff (steady now!) at shakey, but then I am used to the tdi fly by wire I suppose..

Perhaps a second feel and it will loosen up???

Never looked at my tdi the other day until I though why does the pedal not move on cruise, then noticed fly by wire, always assumed with age it wasn't.

[Jamest5r]

I'm going up on Friday if you want a lift early??

Thanks for the offer I did hear you'd be up that way but I'm guessing your going up earlier than I'd have any chance of finishing work unfortunately, I'd of liked to see your face as the nuts get rung out of your car :)

[Jamest5r]

Well apparently my car is finished, knock sensor sorted and final mapping done, many thanks Mr Williams, let's hope I can keep it running past Sunday :)

[stribo]

I hope he fitted a quick release gearbox. ;)

I've got the internal slave and s60r clutch and flywheel, on the 6sp works nice and clutch is much lighter.

I've got a 6 paddle helix and the difference is night and day had already popped one circlip on the external slave toooooo much pressure

Mines only currently running a custom map for whites and 16t, so it will be fine.

If I went for more power a similar set up maybe advantageous.

It's only the rubbish car, that gets all the dirty jobs lol
