My VEMS VRT o1e CQ..

[bdcoombs]

I thought I had a thread here but I didn't see it in searches.

VEMS standalone, 7 bar map, dual wheel speeds, knock and egt
car is a stock block, stock compression, stock head.
only runs on e85 and I use the ID 2000cc injectors.

I have parts for a second motor with oversized valves and some porting but I want to see how far I can push this stock motor first.

This winter I plan to finish the cage. and rebuild the rear end suspension and mount components.



need to change exhaust still, my muffler is a tad low in the streets with the small tire setup on it.. was fine with the 17s

[bdcoombs]

changed to a dual 044 surge tank as well.

Put the 16" wheels back on which I like how these look better then the balloon tires on my 17". I need other tires as uts too low on the 16" as well.




I am still looking for a v6 euro bumper, but I made some carbon blanks and put some brake ducts where the fogs sit for now in this short one.







also I've been practicing my launching and burnouts in the driveway..
I have one on youtube.

[bdcoombs]

video isn't the best but this was when I was setting up the launch control and boost

I get my license back in 7 days and ill host more

just bought wildwood front calipers so hopefully I can get them on soon as well

[bdcoombs]

looking to rebuild the rear end, first is rear tie rods, anyone know the length of these off hand I have the longer version ones factory

[bdcoombs]

only had enough moly to make one today,



so I bought some radius rod for now but had to turn the down a touch

[DE80q]

How long did they end up being? I want to do this on my 80q, but haven't had a chance to look into it.

Also, are you planning to drill the tierod holes straight through? If not, I may be persuaded to make you a pair of taper pins for the rod ends.

[bdcoombs]

They fit good

[bdcoombs]

I would love to have a taper pin. However I was going to drill them straight through as that is how my fronts are.

[DE80q]

Understandable. What did the length on them end up being?

[bdcoombs]

Chromoly heims too

There are long and short arms factory depending what year rear hubs u have.

[bdcoombs]

That also dependant if your heims measure the same length as mine.

made a video to show someone the Bluetooth

anyone else using the LED headlight bulbs, they are amazing and I found ones with heat sinks and fans on them.. they also fit in the housing of b4 headlights.

[bdcoombs]

much brighter over normal h4 bulbs which were good quality bulbs to begin with.

h4 on left - LED on right..

[mushasho]

LED I'd assume is more durable than HID?

yes hid suck an blow bulbs and ballast.. these never blow being LED.. use less power and put out a bright light beam as well as a truer pure white and kelvin is better

[speeding-g60]

info on bulbs?

[bdcoombs]

Ebay. I found one of the highest lumens of output 9,000

But there are a ton of different ones on there. I have led bulbs in all 5 of our vehicles now.

Thansk guys. Means alot to me.

Well I got the car aligned Friday after the new tie rods. And the mechanic pointed out a leak between trans and engine. First thought was rear main or trans. But when I got home I noticed a drip in the driveway and it looked and smelled like brake fluid. Turns out my slave was leaking. So I put a new one in. Bleeding clutch by yourself sucks. Even with a vaccum pump.
