I have heard nothing but good things about TTV, from professional engine builders to blokes making general enquiries.

Super clutch sound like good fellows too, nice looking clutch setup.

super clutch have been awesome so helpful its unreal! only killer was that it seems bolts to mount the clutch are extra so ive had to spend another £18 on them.....for £600 worth of clutch youd have thought mounting bolts were included 

it was on your recommendation i spoke to ttv

and todays progress:

got my flange and clamp through for my waste gate so stripped the old one off the manifold ready to make up the adapter

heres a few comparison pics....old one was a hks 40mm and the new one is a hks 60mm :eek:

[jrtuning_ben]

these should cure my rear offset issue :p;)

[jrtuning_ben]

finally got my new front calipers through 





also got my new plenum at the weekend



and came home to see the last piece of the puzzle waiting for me my pics are crap but im mega impressed with ttv's work




and mated with the clutch

[jrtuning_ben]

mocked up the engine bay today to start on the downpipe and cooler pipes :D looks sweeeeeeeeet!





onloy 'issue' i may have is with the radiator top pipe.....thinking about cutting it off and getting a bent one made up

[jrtuning_ben]

i hate british weather....april showers my arse, more like april downpour eveytime ben decides to do some car workj :mad::annoyed:

managed to get on with my cold pipe though :cool: just need to clean up the pipes and weld them fully





also decided on the colour for my cage and cam covers


and thats not overspray on the door its all reflection :wack:

12 hour night shift last night and waiting up for a delivery sucks :cry:

though it did give me some free time to sort out the 3 inch part of my hot pipe ready to go for tig welding this evening :D not too shabby for 20 mins work :wack: (the welder is going to clean off burrs etc before welding

[jrtuning_ben]

recieved word from the welder

(copied over from other forum)

Right then, as ive been handed these burr riden things, i will detail my contribution to the superior 200sx.

As i picked them up from Ben's.


Numbered and marked for position as was given strict instructions to NOT MOVE .


Ben you aint gonna like these as undid all your hard work . Enjoyed it tho.


Some serious Burrs, i don't know what you used to cut this but would of said a bread knife,lol. Shall we say it was rather sharp in places.


Burr's again


After a bit of TLC with a grinder & file. Simply used grinder to remove all the rought parts and filed the inside to ensure nice clean and burr free points of contact during welding.



All done well one anyway


Up to date for the information of Ben and the rest of ya common folk, sorted them both out and their ready to be welded, just waiting for a regulator adapter so i can gas the inside of the pipe whilst welding to weld both sides. Gonna crack on during the week Ben so if you have any issues on time etc, etc drop us a PM or tx.

More updates .

Ahhhh, just what i needed , splitter for the Argon to be purged into the pipework.



This is the second one as thought i would start with the hardest first. All parts have been de-burr'd and de-tacked.



Another shot to highlight the smoothness of them after some grinding and fileing.



Tacked it all back together with TIG (a tad neater that stick or MIG, ay ben,lol.) Dint take any picks of it been tacked as boring but, waahhhooo, the first weld





Although an absolute pig to position when trying to get a steady and comfortable welding stance, pretty happy with the results. Purgeing was a problem tho as couldn't make the pipe stay still .

Only laid down one full weld and decided to stop due to this;



Not sure how clear the pic is but there is a build up of 'slag' on the inner ??

Right Ben, with this been an important component i want and im sure you want this to be right. Would be better if i grinded the tacks off again and welded each piece individually as then i can get a drill attachment to grind the inner 'slag' (<< Engineer talk,lol) off. Was told purgeing would not cause this, so im in two mind what to do.

What do you sugest bud??

Carry on and you sort the inner bit's out or do what i said and do each peice individually

hes a good lad, i went to college with him and he ended up doing exactly what i wanted to do :cry::rolleyes: we decided to weld them up in stages and grind the weld where its penetrated back so theres no interruption to air flow

That´s acutlly pretty cheap for a twinplate clutch,

I could use one of thoose twin clutches for a Impreza

And your project is looking great
