jammapic's XUD 306 DTurbo Track Car

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!

[jammapic]

Correct mark. You get that with decent shocks, shorter bodies that hold more oil and more travel.

[Atterz]

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

Nos....?

[4WayDiablo]

Wtf is that white thing in the arch?

Wtf is that white thing in the arch?

Looks like a fan heater to me? Probably for drying underseal?

[jammapic]

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!!

JP

[4WayDiablo]

Ah fair enough. So when you coming round to underseal mine

[jammapic]

Lol - bring it here mate, I've got the air compressor / ramps etc in the garage!

[Foxy-jim]

Had to taken off the exhaust heat shields?

Vp pump and ecu? One way to make it smoke free at 250 HP.

Nope!

[Midnightclub]

Bolting a 2nd engine in the back? haha

[jammapic]

Pah, think of all that extra weight? I've put both me and the car on a crash diet....

[Midnightclub]

Still using the XUD9 engine ?

[jammapic]

Yep. :-)

[Connor]

Twin fuel pumps?

[jammapic]

Nope, won't need it.

I'm stopping now as I'm not telling

[Dan!]

20mm pump head? I bet its that........

[jammapic]

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!

[padge]

HX60 with a 14mm head, 250bhp at the wheels nuts

[jammapic]

C'mon now... have you not learnt anything about me - that's simply not my style!

[Midnightclub]

Does it combine any form of electronics to the mechanical system?

[jammapic]

Nope. I am not saying ANY more.

[Megamonkey]

Fuel magnets and an electric supercharger?
