Re: [Quantum Owners] "CANBUS" LED bulbs in older cars.

2021-07-09 Thread Ian Harrison
Question Jim, do these ‘just’ provide load for the car side bulb monitoring
or does it pull the nominal 12v down to a working voltage for the leds,
which is likely to be much less on small bulbs?

Re: [Quantum Owners] QOC Website

2020-04-16 Thread Ian Harrison
Steve, there is a difference in behaviour between accessing via
www.quantumowners.co.uk and quantum owners.co.uk

Fully qualified seems good all the way through. Without the www. prefix, it
uses the www.h4-turbo.co.uk cert who’s also good but is flagged as having
an intermediate cert error. Also seems to flag as an issue because the
accessed name is different to the resolved server name.

Just an observation and may be as designed.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme headlight brackets

2019-09-10 Thread Ian Harrison
Hey Mark, these look like the really early headlight mounts. I’m struggling
to find a decent photo of mine, but they have a tubular stainless tube
horizontal, with an upright tube section welded to the end.

Your solution is clearly better than your original - nice work.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme Vs other 7 type cars.

2019-08-09 Thread Ian Harrison
I’ve owned my Xtreme for 12 years now and it’s a great car. Mostly the
reasons go along with everyone else.

Chassis stiffness makes an exceptional spring platform
The boot makes it a more practical toy car 

The difference for me was that at 6’4” I actually sit IN the Xtreme whereas
I was sitting ON the Caterham and Westfield and looking over the
windscreen.

On the road my car holds its own well in mixed Se7en company.

On track my car is not quite as quick as a Caterham but still fun.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Alternator not charging battery

2019-06-11 Thread Ian Harrison
Had the same problem on mine. My fault was the large spade terminal being
lose on the back on the alternator.  I disassembled the connector, cleaned
and tightened the spades and put it back together.

Good luck

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme Hub again

Thanks for the comprehensive reply Nigel. I’ll carry on with the fettle and
fit method.

I have to admit I’m struggling to understand how increasing the overall
length across both bearings by using a shim stops it seizing up...

Thanks Nigel. I’ll wait with baited breath.

In any case the current bearing is not viable so I’ve ordered another and

So another front left wheel bearing has died on my Xtreme.

@Nigel I saw you shimmed the land to get the width up. Please can you

I have found a drawing which seems to indicate the land in the hub between

opening it effectively gives you an air leak. Have you tested the diaphragm

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2L Zetec

2016-09-23 Thread Ian Harrison
I think all black tops a similar form factor but with minor variations on
power output from 128 to 134 bhp? Focus engines are the top end.

It would be interesting to know if it's compression, cams or fuelling that
makes the difference.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreame dampener adjustment ?

If they are like mine, back them all the way off by turning the knob anti

say all the way off is rust right. I run mine about half way for track and
back off three or four clicks for the road.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme wiper overheating?

A wet floor in front of the passenger seat is either a leaky spindle

Mine leaked bright green fluid over the floor which looked like antifreeze.
Freaked me out until I sussed it out.

The trapesium may need a bit of lubrication, but also the motor could need
a cleanout of the old grease which goes hard. Did mine a couple of years
ago, a strip, clean and regrease.

This, of-course is a scuttle off job...

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreame fuel pump upgrade?

2016-04-11 Thread Ian Harrison
Zetec blacktop running a standard plenum on the inlet side. The fuel pump is a 
high pressure one from a Vauxhall I seem to recall. It has the right size inlet 
and outlet pipes. 

Mine has a feed and return pipe but I do not run a separate swirl pot. 

For the sump I have an ERA (Tiger racing) ally sump with an internal baffle. It 
solves the ground clearance issue but is not as foolproof as the Raceline one 
when it comes to really hard cornering. So far the combo has served me well 
with no problems.

Hi Chris. I'll see if incan dig out the part number for you.

The kits are not handed, you get inner and outer bearings, and a left and
right handed nut along with the inner and outer seals.

There are two bearings that fit in the hub. One goes in from the road side
and one from the brake side. The hub has a 'land' in the middle that the
bearing outer races sit on.

Not an easy job though and the next one that I do will have the hub off the
car and a press used on it.

Good luck!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Twin 40 Weber DCOE's on a Ztetec E 1800 engine; carbs leaking petrol somehow???

2016-03-21 Thread Ian Harrison
That's a good question! I did my research online. There's some good DCOE
guides out there.

Unless they have been serviced recently, I'd get a service kit for each and
work through it.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Progress pics of my Xtreme (suggestions welcomed)

2015-06-24 Thread Ian Harrison
I'll second the LED hamburger lights. They are way more visible than the 
standard ones and well worth changing to. 

As Steve says, a modified flasher relay or resistor packs added to the circuit 
to make the standard one work at the correct flash rate.

 Ricky,
 I would suggest replacing the rear lights with LED versions as well.  I'm 
 seeing more Xtremes where the sidelights are very dim, so replacing the 
 cluster with a LED version is a good safety and visual upgrade.
 
 Don't forget to get a plug in replacement flasher relay that works with LEDs, 
 otherwise the indicators will flash at a faster rate.

 Hi guys,
  
 I have updated a few pics of my Xtreme from when it was purchased to now. I 
 have not really done a lot yet but looking to improve through the summer. I 
 am hoping to take a few more pics over the weekend of a few of the other 
 things that have been done since these were taken.
  
 Here is a list of what I have done to date and also what I would like to do.
  
 Changed from 13 wheels to 17 Calibre multispoke matt black wheels.
 Cut rear arches to accomodate new wheels
 Replaced windscreen
 Fabricated new brackets for cycle arches to allow closer fitment to tyre 
 (pic to follow)
 fitted new steering wheel (pic to follow)
 restored dash vinyl and seating
 full spray job from a discoloured royal blue to Aegean blue (ish)
 Re-stitched roof due to tearing (more to be done on this)
 Re drilled boot hinges due to rubbing on closure.
 Fitted drainage tubes from the boot lid to allow for the boot to remain dry
 All foam padding replaced in engine bay for better bonnet fitment and 
 reduction of rattling.
 Anti roll bar drop link gators replaced due to being worn
 Carbon fibre wrap on rear arches to prevent stone chips.
  
  
 To do List
 Change seats to new bucket seats (suggestions and examples welcomed)
 Change gear stick and handbrake
 Get rear wheel cover sprayed
 New arches fitted and sprayed
 New LED front lights
 New wing mirrors (slim design if possible)
 Re-cover the centre tunnel and replace all interior carpet
  
 I think that is it. Any suggestions or comments welcome

 Thank you guysfor the messages. I am doing well at the moment and should be

 All the nurses here now know what Quantim is :-)
 Robin Jenkins is working hard to keep things on track with Karens help. I 
 also would like to share some very good news, that early next year we are 
 starting another member of staff due to the amount of work booked in for 2015
 This will leave me time to concentrate on my recovery. The experts think I 
 will be walking again soon despite still being mostly paralised down my left 
 side
 There is still much to look forward to in 2015 including some very special 
 development work currently under way for the first 3 models of Quantums that 
 I hope to reveal at Stoneligh.
 So with so much to look forwaard to, i will concentrate on getting back on 
 track whilst you people stay safe this winter whilst Quantuming.
 Take care

 I am very sad to announce to the group that Eddie has suffered a serious

 Eddie is probably know to the majority of this group as the biggest Quantum 
 fanatic and also for the work he does through his company Dynamic Mouldings.  
 Obviously things will slow down a bit at Dynamic Mouldings, but Rob supported 
 by Eddie's wife Karen, will continue to run the company until Eddie is ready 
 to return. Existing work can be completed and new work still taken on, but 
 obviously without Eddie it will take longer.
 
 Having visited Eddie yesterday with a few of the QMOPS team, I am pleased to 
 report that Eddie has not lost his sense of humour, or his determination.  
 Hopefully this will enable him to make the best possible recovery.
 
 Eddie was keen to let everyone know about his stroke and I am sure you will 
 all join me in wishing him a speedy recovery.

 Steve - QOC Chairman

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme exhaust silencer

2014-09-15 Thread Ian Harrison
Hi Chris, good to here from you. I binned the chrome cherry bomb in favour of a 
repackable 7 inch can from a place in Basildon. I've been very pleased with it. 
Quiet enough to do track days but still loud enough for smiles! At the same 
time I had them make up a new 4-1 collector as the factory one is quite 
restrictive.

I'll post the link when I can find it but there may well be somewhere closer.

 Finally have got the Xtreme turbo running on standard zetec!!  After a few 
 glitches with the Omex map, got it running, very weak at first, so did a 
 blanket fuel increase of 20% and it ran well enough to drive to work and put 
 it on the rolling road. Couldn't resist opening it up a bit and it went like 
 a rocket.  The intent was to achieve 210 bhp with 8psi of boost. The dyno 
 setup is not finished, but it was achieving approx 230 bhp. Thats too much 
 and on a second run the clutch started to slip.
 
 Stil a lot of tweaking to do, but its great to finally have it running. With 
 any luck it will be at qmops this weekend!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Balancing a drive shaft

2013-10-09 Thread Ian Harrison
Have you checked that the rims are true?

I had a vibration just on 70mph which I could not eliminate through balancing. 
When I taped an indicator to the wing strut and spunn the shel, it turned out 
the rim was lightly bent (through a pothole I guess) in its inner edge. 

Another possibility is an incorrectly fitting spigot ring for the alloy meaning 
the wheel is running off centre.

 Thanks all, much appreciated. 
 
 The problem has been there in varying degrees since I have had the coupe.  It 
 is the usual 65mph resonance.  Sometimes it seemed to be very little, other 
 times significant, but never gone.  But it has not been the priority issue.  
 I am now going though the process of diagnosing the problem and have had the 
 wheels very closely balanced and tried changing them around, check tightened 
 all suspension bolts, serviced the brakes and finally had a brainwave.  At 
 one point I found the outer offside (long) shaft ball joint gaiter clip 
 undone.  Securing it again reduced the vibs.
 
 I put the car on a solid chassis ramp and ran it up.  Looking at the rotating 
 components that shaft is the only one looks as if it is vibrating. (i.e. has 
 a fuzzy outline with 65mph on the speedo, more solid when lower speed and no 
 vibs. felt)  But the offside wheel is responding. (changing the wheel made no 
 difference - unless there are two wheels that balance fine, but don't run 
 true on the hub!)  Nearside looks solid and the wheel and tyre solid, too. 
 Then tried it without wheels at all.  There is still a buzz when the wheels 
 are removed but obviously not the same vibration.  Hence the idea to try a 
 DIY balance of the shaft.  
 
 So if I succeeded is there a possibility I would have problems with MOT or 
 not in your opinion?  
 
 I suppose wheel balancing on the car might still solve it even if it is the 
 drive shaft.  But it would not be the best solution.  If I can balance shaft 
 that would prove the problems source and I might still change the shaft.  Or 
 maybe it is the gearbox output Jim (!)

[Quantum Owners] Thanks to Vince and the CDMC

2013-09-21 Thread Ian Harrison
A big vote of thanks to Vince and the guys of the CDMC for laying on another 
great day at Curborough. 

Kermit behaved well and put up with abuse from myself, Michael and Guy. 
Personally I really enjoyed exploring a new piece of grass due to a spin just 
before the 'B'.  Running without a windscreen was 'interesting'... Good on the 
track, but tiring for the journeys.

And its good to see that Vince laid on glorious weather again!

[Quantum Owners] Xtreme Wheel Bearing Revisited

2013-08-31 Thread Ian Harrison
Evening all.

Xtreme's have bespoke uprights and I have heard other owners commenting on
the bearings going tight when torqued up the the 'FT' setting of 310 to
350NM, and this is what happended to the nearside one the last time I had
my bearings replaced at the garage up the road. They advised it loosen up
quickly and it did, but it has only lasted a couple of years.

So having a close look at it, the land in the upright has suffered quite a
bit of abuse from a thug with a blunt object...

I fettled the upright with a file, oilstone and scraper before refitting
the nice shiny SKF bearing set and the proof of the pudding today was that
when torqued up to 'FT' spec, the wheel still spins easily.

So... If you have an Xtreme and it throws wheel bearings, check the
uprights for damage and correct before fitting the new bearings.

I have put some photos up on the proboards forum.

Cheers
Ian

Re: [Quantum Owners] meaasge for Jim Hearne

2013-08-29 Thread Ian Harrison
It would help to know what engine you have currently and how any forward gears 
there were before they stopped working...

You donor 'should' have a type 9 I think but may be an MT75. 

Type 9s come in two main types, short nose used with the four cylinder engines 
and a long nose from the v6 models and diesels. 

If you have a four pot engine, the short nose is easiest to use. 

The bell housing bolt patterns are all the same pattern so you should have no 
problems there. 

The overall length is not that different between four speed and five speed and 
I have heard of the props still being usable. What will need changing if going 
from a four speed to a five, is the position of the gearbox mount and possibly 
the gear lever position. 

An MT75 is a significantly different in appearance and will cause more issues...

 Why don't you ask on the Rickman Forum ? I'm sure someone on there will know.
 I take it you already have a type 9 box, so it should be relatively 
 straightforward, but if replacing a 4 speed (type 2,3, Rocket,Bullet etc.) 
 then it is not so straightforward, as the prop needs to be shortened, plus 
 lots of other changes.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Question of future-proofing

2013-08-26 Thread Ian Harrison
I agree with Jim here. The zetec was an original option so it's a valid 
combination. 

In addition to this, I believe that kit cars evolve over time as our nature is 
to 'constantly improve' (tinker).

 I don't think there is such a thing as an original kit car.
 Also, the 2+2 was sold with the subframe modified to take a Zetec so it is 
 original in a way, it's just been done by you, not Quantum.

 Dear All,
 
 I am weighing up the future possibilities and wondered what your thoughts 
 would be.  I am planning to take off the front frame of the 2+2 and get it 
 blasted, metal sprayed and multi powder coated as it's getting rusty.  A 
 process I have used before and is very good.  I have another CVH engine to 
 put in and don't feel the need to go bigger/different in that area.  I build 
 the car as 'standard' as it can be and it's been on the road for 13 years in 
 daily use.  I want it to keep on indefinitely, aiming to run it for the rest 
 of my life and probably pass it on to my son.  (But what are plans worth?)
 
 But going to all this work and expense is it still worth modifying the frame 
 to take a Zetec in case things change in future or would that actually 
 reduce the 'classic' or 'original' nature of the car even to the point of 
 devaluing it in the future?
 
 So Mod or not to Mod, that is the question.  What do you think?
 
 Derek

 I will need to get some bosses for lambda probes fitted if i want to go back

Re: [Quantum Owners] what rubber for xtreme

2013-06-04 Thread Ian Harrison
Hi Chris. I've got standard 195/50/15 all round on Kermit. 

I have a mix of tyres on at the moment due to a puncture. The fronts are Yoko 
Parada Spec 2 and the backs are Toyo R1R. 

The Spec 2s are very good but in my opinion the R1R just edge it. They have the 
same compound as the 888 but with more tread pattern so they shift water better 
in the rain and are less prone to aqua planing.

 hi fellow xtreme owners.
 
 what tyres are you running?
 
 mine are up for renewal and with the v8 and all, I am looking for the 
 grippiest, but as i use the car a lot, in the rain too, I don't want anything 
 too slick.. so i think 888s are out.
 
 my days of doing 6k miles a year are gone for a while as i did in the pinto 
 xtreme as child number 2 has recently arrived so I am not worried out how 
 long the tyre will last, would rather enjoy the times I do get out to the max 
 :)
 
 If you could let me know what you run with past and present and what you 
 reckon, that would be great. Also if you run with anything wider at the back 
 than 195mm?
 
 I currently have yokohama  A520 195/50/R15

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtream clear windows

2013-05-13 Thread Ian Harrison
Those screens looked really good!

When my side screens got difficult to see through, I used some Renovo Window 
Polish to bring them back to life. It's not cheap stuff, but it really works 
and goes quite a long way.

 Hi all.
  
 As promised some notes about the polycarbonate windows that i have fitted to 
 the side screens on the Xtream. There was lots of interest at Stoneleigh.
  
 I have removed the orginal side screen tops and replaced them with 
 Polycarbonate so there is an unrestricted view out of the side. i have to be 
 honest it is great like driving with out the doors on. The view is excellent.
  
 The material i used is 4mm Lexan polycarbonate with margard scratch 
 protection. The company i found to make them are ACW motor sport in Nailsea 
 near bristol (no presonal interest). i saw them at a mini show a couple of 
 years ago. It has taken this long to get organised. Tony is the man at ACW i 
 have since spoken to him so he will be aware if you call about Quantum Xtream 
 doors. Contact details are below he is very helpful and has had kit cars in 
 the past. 
  
 I made templates out of hardboard and ACW cut them and polished the edges, 
 they will drill the fixing holes if you want or leave you to do them. The 
 cost was £100 but there are various options which can make it cheaper or more 
 expensive. You can have them with out the scratch protection and they can 
 also get 5mm if you want  them thicker. They can also get tinted if that is 
 what you want. Call Tony to discuss it.
  
 I will write an article for QM with all the details but this should get most 
 people going. I have only had them on a couple of weeks but love the solution 
 already. Be aware i have had to fit a bar to strengthen the section from the 
 fibreglass door bottom section to the hinge on the frame as with the 4mm it 
 was bending more than i liked. I will be fitting a full length bar which will 
 finish it off and look better. I like all kit car items it is still work in 
 progress.
  
 If you have any questions you can give me a shout on here or my details are 
 in QM i am the treasurer.
  
 Cheers Paul.

Looking good Chris!

Those headlights are tiny! Do they have main beam in too?

 oh and of course the oil leaks!   turned out to be the breather setup on
 the head was incorrect.. just going to air -- there needs to be pretty much

 bays in the work car park!

 A tale of the v8 if you like...

 As some of you will have read, I purchased the orange v8 Xtreme in Sept
 of last year.

 Since Chris F built it it has had 2 more owners. Somewhere along the line
 things had gone a tad wrong!

 As I had the pinto powered Xtreme which I sold just before xmas, I
 swapped some stuff over and made the v8 orange black, rather than orange
 chrome, just personal preference, kept my LED rear lights and bits like
 that.

 the v8's battery was going flat every night the previous owner had wired
 up, with very chunky wires a huge battery in the boot.. this battery had
 been killed, and the cause I found was that the exciter wire for the
 alternator was not ignition switch controlled! 3amp draw permanently.
 Sorted that, new normal sized battery back in the engine bay and all good..
 so I thought.. then I found the alternator was only putting out any juice
 after 2500rpm.. turns our one of the diodes had gone.. new alternator and I
 was happy.


 I installed an alarm and due to the ignition key switch being so close to
 the dash, I removed the need for that switch and installed a separate
 ignition switch and starter switch. (removed the steering lock - I am
 hoping that with the new MOT regs it isn't going to be a problem!)  the way
 I install the alarm is that when armed the only power that gets through is
 to the alarm it's self and a separate switch for side lights..

 put the new bonnet scoop on, just cause I like the look better and to
 make it my own and started to use the car.  the headlights were terrible..
 My parents kindly bought some  projector lights for me as a xmas gift and I
 went about swapping them over - and found that the headlights were being
 earthed through the blue light on the dash!! doh.. swapped the wiring round
 and they were actually really good!  the projector ones were already
 purchased so I had to swap them.. on they went and I installed the DRLs
 under the wheel arches. ignition on full brightness, side lights on and
 they dimm 50% to be side lights.

 so I am getting there with it.. the gearbox is a bit too hard work, and
 sometimes almost impossible and the clutch slips, which for the time being
 is maybe not a bad thing as it controls the power application! will need to
 be swapped.

 I have managed one proper drive in it, and am using it to commute (lucky
 me only 2miles each way!) and it even had an outing in the snow... Second
 child due any day, so probably no more proper outings for a while, but I am
 really enjoying the fresh challenge and loving the v8 - my desire to have
 one was well founded :)

 some pics - and lots of the carb as the secondary bowl's needle got
 jammed and I got stuck out on the way to the tiger owners meet in
 windlesham with the fuel pumping straight up and out.. i was getting worse
 than 1mile per litre before it was just flooding over - to the point it was
 flowing over the hot exhausts too!  The joys :)

 hope you are all getting out in your kits and enjoying this spell of
 sunshine !  Have a good show too.

 Chris Y

 got bored (quite easy during the twilight hours between nappy's and feeds) so 
 i thought id tart up my boot hinge covers, they had faded and were scuffed + 
 i didn't like the heavy grained effect finish, more modern car trends tend to 
 shift towards smooth gloss black plastic trims both inside and out, so i 
 thought id have a go since it would cost me nothing but a few hours work.
 
 got out my selection of papers

 started off using 220 grit wet and dry
 
 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/2012%20quantum/IMG_20130324_025751_zpsc1109c6b.jpg
 
 then went through 320 - 400 - 600 - 800 - 1000  - 1500 - 2000 - 2500 wet and 
 dry
 
 then on to micro mesh abrasive cloth, this stuff is amazing, you really need 
 to try it, soft backing takes to all contours and ensures even pressure all 
 over, great for polishing gel coat too though originally made for polishing 
 polycarbonate aircraft canopies,
 
 so started with 2500 then 3200 (this is what that looks like)
 
 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/2012%20quantum/IMG_20130326_010314_zps305cd7ff.jpg
 
 then 3400 - 4000 - 6000 and finally 12000, the picture below shows the 
 difference between that last 2 grades

  8-) finished, remember this has all been done using abrasive paper and 
 clothes, no machines or liquid at all

 shiny  8-)
 
 only the door handles and mirrors to do now, and now that the plastic is 
 glass smooth i can get them chrome plated now ...
