eke_zetec_RWD Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Just a bit of advice, not sure if this applies so much to a kent, go for a twin plate and light steel flywheel. I found with my seven with the zetec in it when down changing under brakes its very easy to compression lock the wheels if not rev matched properly. This was with a lightened factory flywheel. I now use a very light steel one with tilton twin plate and it's much much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Well it doesn't make very much power, but it gets the slicks nice and hot, so when I was hard under brakes into turn two I think the rivets holding the lining on were the weakest part of the drive line. I don't really have any issues with compression lock Jase, maybe because I don't have much compression, or maybe because the tyres are sticky enough that it doesn't happen? Either way, I'm not going to throw heaps of money at it as the car will be for sale as soon as it is back together. How did you form those trumpets? They look great I used the top pin out of one of these as they are tapered And then I pressed it into a bit of ~40mm ID stainless tubes, and then I put the pin in the lathe and used the tool post to wind a bunch of 6mm stainless rod around it at the right diameter and then I TIGed it together.

eke_zetec_RWD Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Fair enough! You should bring it to manfeild before you sell it. Most of the seven owners drive like pussys because they don't want to damage it. Come down and push the limits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Yea I would love to, It is a pretty fun track for sure, and I guess it isn't much further away than Hamptons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
