What on earth is the obsession with being so low? Surely handling and retaining at least some of the cars brilliant geometry is the main concern?

To be fair not everyone is building a car for uber handling.... Cosmetic appearance will always be more important to some people, and I can understand why to be honest.... My car would no doubt handle alot better on some £££ suspension and not being so low, but im perfectly happy how it is at the moment, and I dont want to tractorize it to make it better.

Mines never going to be a track car! Plus I love the 'stanced' look!
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 06-02-2012
Correct mark. You get that with decent shocks, shorter bodies that hold more oil and more travel.
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Atterz - 06-02-2012
Fair play Darren and Jim
I just wondered as it isnt somthing that ive considered. But i understand, kind of a "its your car at the end of the day" so all good .

Got the new rear dampers on, and nearly finished completely undersealing:

Also had to cut out some rust from the classic spot:

and weld in a plate

Just got the new front coilovers to get on, play about with spring rates and fit the rose jointed drop links and setup.
Just ordered some 23mm torsion bars, and a new 30mm rear arb - hopefully getting a beam tube off Sam Barker this weekend and ordering some new trailing arm shafts to get a new beam build on the way.
Looking at some REALLY interesting possibilities with the new engine, something I KNOW no-one has ever tried so can't wait to get that properly underway!

Looks awesome! Tell us what you are planning!

All I am saying at the moment is that no-one on the forums has ever tried it, but should give me a good use-able hike in power, whilst retaining reliability.
On another note, I'm more excited about getting the new beam built up - that should make a luuuuurvley improvement over stock

Looks like a fan heater to me? Probably for drying underseal?
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
NOS, no. It's been done before time and time again. I'm not answering anymore as I'm not giving it away - you will have to wait and see
The white thing is a heater to help dry the underseal... it's so cold ATM!!

Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - 4WayDiablo - 09-02-2012
Ah fair enough. So when you coming round to underseal mine
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
Lol - bring it here mate, I've got the air compressor / ramps etc in the garage!
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Foxy-jim - 09-02-2012
Had to taken off the exhaust heat shields?
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - darrenjlobb - 09-02-2012
Vp pump and ecu? One way to make it smoke free at 250 HP.

Nope!
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Midnightclub - 09-02-2012
Bolting a 2nd engine in the back? haha
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
Pah, think of all that extra weight? I've put both me and the car on a crash diet....
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Midnightclub - 09-02-2012
Still using the XUD9 engine ?
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
Yep. :-)
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Connor - 09-02-2012
Twin fuel pumps?
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
Nope, won't need it.
I'm stopping now as I'm not telling
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Dan! - 09-02-2012
20mm pump head? I bet its that........
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
Lol. It's a bit more severe than just strapping on a whopping pumping head.
Anyway, I've already said too much.
Initial thought is that it should make 250hp (or there abouts) pretty reliably, with low smoke and low(ish) EGTs... but it could prove to be a monumental and expensive flop!

Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - padge - 09-02-2012
HX60 with a 14mm head, 250bhp at the wheels nuts
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
C'mon now... have you not learnt anything about me - that's simply not my style!
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Midnightclub - 09-02-2012
Does it combine any form of electronics to the mechanical system?
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - jammapic - 09-02-2012
Nope. I am not saying ANY more.
Re: jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car - Megamonkey - 09-02-2012
Fuel magnets and an electric supercharger?
