Your car looks great David. V inspirational and a credit to you.
I haven't been on turbosport for sometime, so now I need to pinch the wife's iPad, make a brew, sit down and read the whole thread from start to finish!
My 3dr track car thread is here on PF if you're interested.

Recently I've been getting into fairly serious arch mods to accommodate 18's and big brakes like yourself. Seem to be getting there now, but it's not for the concours types!

Thanks Iain, too kind. Interested to see your arch mods, I still havent found any that dont spoil the lines too much gonna save 18s for next year though

Should be some fairly big updates coming on mine this month. Lots of new parts should be going on the car soon and the new YB engine is nearly ready

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Thanks guys, means a lot to get positive feedback, especially with the quality of your cars.
I'm plugging away at it as methodically as I can and Graham is making progress with the engine, so theres no reason I shouldnt have it all shook down and ready for a season next year.
Gonna get vacuum pipes fitted this week and order the fuel reg, then I think I'll drill and tap the cam cover for a breather so I can finish the breather plumbing..

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Good to see some more updates Dave as always enjoy seeing the way you do things from a different angle , as always a few ideas can be borrowed from your builds

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

New fuel pressure gauge fitted, don't want this thing running lean.. Also new fuel lines where needed, made a dummy idle control valve on the lathe from a block of aluminium and made a cold air feed from behind the bumper to the airbox (no pics yet). The air feed duct sits behind the bumper so it stays where it is when the bumper is removed but is nice and snug with it on.
Will plumb in the vacuum lines next and need to get a decent, adjustable, fuel regulator. Thats the plumbing about done apart from the breather system.





Got the new headlamps working too so quite a productive week so far

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Big thanks to Andy Pipe for making and fitting the bespoke loom today, each one he does gets better... Cheers mate

[david_white]

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Todays work.. Brand new DTA S80 pro fitted, all new engine loom made by Andy and now in place with new plugs. All sensors, map sensor, injectors and amal valve are brand new and everything ran as it should from the test run via a laptop.
When new engine arrives it should all be plug and play





Just badly need a PF09 TPS now as my PF01 isn't compatable with the DTA....

Re: DW's (new?) Sierra 3dr YB race car

Fitted some brand new poverty spec headlights. These should allow me to run in other championships should I wish to, such as tintops if I get hold of some nice road tyres.



Had the front bumper off and fitted all new bonnet pins (old ones on in this pic) to it as the ones on there were a bit crappy. Treated them to some new silicone hose too!



Bodywork now ready for a new set of decals..





The Pipes also popped over and measured up for the new engine wiring loom. We should have all of the plugs and cable we need this week and it wont take Andy long to get it all in there ready for the new engine
