| cheeers for them them mate, got a couple of questions if thats ok? does your sump guard cover the entire underside of the engine bay, ie does it extend to cover the gearbox as well? the one i have been given will cover the sump and I can make some side plates up for it how much further do i need to go? also is that a metal strap you have around the rear beam to stop the tank guards from 'flapping'? last one is a query aboutt he hydralic hand brake, my car has one fitted but it is in the postion of the standerd handbrake and it also has a locking falicity which enables it to act as a normal handbrake, to your understanding to I need another mechanical lickage as well?? again many thanks much appericated. |
Yes my sump guard goes the whole way across the engine and gearbox. It then has side plates that come up into the wheel arches. TBH it depends what sort of rallying you want to do. If you are going to do some gravel rallies then i would say you should invest in a genuine PTS sump guard as it really does take a hammering from rocks and i have heard of cheap copies shattering. i also have another plate off the back of the sumpguard that coveres the bottom of the downpipe as this can be flattened if hit hard enough
The metal strap just holds the tank guard on at the back so that it doesnt hang too low as they fall down with rocks hitting them.
Yes for the handbrake you will need to have some cable operating as well or it will fail scruitineering and its MOT. Unless you can fake that the hydraulic system pulls the cables as well.

Apparently a good one for bodies is a Toyota Corolla one as it is shorter than the standard unit. I think a baffled sump is a good idea, ie prevention > cure!
I have a mix of the Baker/Vibratechnics items and you only need the gearbox mount from VT, however the Baker engine mount (called RHS mount iirc) will require some of the thread being taken off as it is too long as standard!

That is what i wil do then just buy the vt gearbox mount. Will have to look into the corolla rad then

Yeh can be done ok. I have seen it done to a few cars. Can be a bit awkward with the VVT. The wiring is not a problem just not ideal for a road car as in Jamies case

Lock up the VVT... it next to useless with bodies and you can map in the lost torque.... run stand alone management and let it run the engine completely.... much better
I would be interested to know where you got your tank guard.... I am looking at making one after Ramsport let me down big time

Looking good matey. I was talking to a mate who rallies and he reckons if you have a twin master cylinder setup like you do then you don't need the old handbrake. The rules say you must have 2 separate braking systems incase one fails. the dual master cylinders count as two systems so currently you have 3! You can then fit a line lock in after the hyd handbrake so you can still have a parking brake. I'm not saying that what ive said is gospel, but just check it out and see.= for yourself.

Which engine mounts are needed from baker? You can buy them individually and they list the part numbers. Also, what is the part number for the vibratachnics mount? Cheers
