Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme Tyre Choice

[Chris Young]

I had


Toyo Proxes R1R 195/50 R15

When I had the V8 Xtreme, can't recall if they do them anymore.

I was happy with them,  they would aqua plain tho across a puddle, but just
a wet road they were prob better than less slick tyres .. ie as long as the
rubber can get to the tarmac.

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

[Chris Young]

I don't have it now, but I bought the v8 xtreme off Chris F,   I converted
it to motorbike throttle bodies and megasquirt.  everyone was amazed as to
how little monocoque roll there was, even with the v8 trying to twist it
over.

I also built a new series 3 robin hood, which was also a monocoque, but my
gosh it was in comparison a pile of rubbish!  You couldn't firm up the
suspension for fear of the car cracking up!   I managed to loose it trying
to avoid a big pot hole coming off a round about and wrote it off.. But in
realty I was glad as a picked up an Xtreme next!.( a pinto one )

Great plus points for me,  slightly bigger car so my legs could fit! has a
boot, can use it all year round and with the hood on, (I'd use mine come
rains, shine, snow) - stainless - no rust to worry about.  A friend has a
tiger Avon - have to keep an eye on the chassis as well as just the
suspension bits.  There may be an argument that some of the others are
lighter and more nimble, but all in unless you are on a track who cares.

Enjoy your car, your mate is just jealous!
Remember that the exhaust changes side from a pinto to zetec.. you might
want to go to a duratec (not sure what there cost is like these days)  i
believe the manuals are up on the club website.

Have fun with it.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Adrian Flux...

[Chris Young]

I had a quick google as we are digressing !

It would seem that one insurance comp wont do it twice, but you can from 2
different. Seems to happen alot at start of new policy time.

https://www.admiral.com/magazine/guides/car-insurance/why-you-shouldnt-double-insurance-cover


 has

" Can you insure a car twice?
It's certainly not impossible, and it's not illegal, but that doesn't mean
that you should choose to do it.

In fact, doubling up on your insurance is not only potentially costly but
it could cause real problems should you ever need to make a claim.

Contribution clauses mean that both insurers would be in contact with each
other to see how much they each need to put towards your pay-out, and
there's no guarantee that they will agree. Such cases can delay your claim
significantly, causing you an entirely unnecessary and avoidable headache.

Making a claim from two insurers can push up the price of your renewal
significantly, as well as seeing you lose your no-claims bonus across both
providers. It's also worth remembering that you can't claim for a full
amount from multiple insurers, as that's fraud.

One claim is all you can make, so why make it complicated by involving
multiple different companies?  "

Re: [Quantum Owners] Adrian Flux...

[Chris Young]

I looked at cancelling my Q a while back after about 6months and was told I
would get nothing back. I had paid upfront. The monthly payments in my mind
have never been a kinda Pay as you go option, but something you have to pay
in full. Apart from the rudeness, doesn't sound like anything unexpected
going on

I don't think there is anything stopping you having two policies on  car,
except if you claim and they fight about who is going to pay etc and it
turns into a nightmare.

Re: [Quantum Owners] xtreme rear bushes?

[Chris Young]

Mark,

thanks so much, sorry I should have said I have the manual, but the codes
don't translate to anything off the shelf, so I am awaiting Mark to get
back to my email.

do you recall if your bushes look like my photo for the rear lowest nearest
the brake?

cheers Chris

[Quantum Owners] xtreme rear bushes?

[Chris Young]

Hi,

does anyone by chance know what bushes are used for the rear lowest bush on
the wishbones?  nearest the bottom of the brake drum?

I see from the manual that there are 2 in there, but only quantum part
numbers listed.

many thanks,

Chris

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Stoneleigh

[Chris Young]

Hi all,

good to say hi to some of you yesterday!

shame the weather tainted it a bit, but I still had a really good drive up
and back from New Malden SW London. Got a bit wet for the first 30mins of
my way back, then again a bit on the M25 later in the eve after I left my
folks in Buckingham.

All good fun tho and at least it wasn't freezing like last week!

cheers, Chris

fingers crossed my wife will have shifted her cold and will be able to look

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme wiper overheating?

[Chris Young]

Make sure nothing is restricting the wiper arms movement. I've managed to
have it hitting my new alarm box and snagging a wire before. Both added
extra load, which I thankfully noticed by the wipers slowing down, or on
the first occasion the arm popped off!  I have done a lot of mods under
there and you can't see what has moved once you have closed up.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreame fuel pump upgrade?

[Chris Young]

I take it you have switched to having a low pressure pump feeding a swirl
pot, then out the swirl pot a high pressure pump feeding the fuel rail?

I run a Rover v8 so perhaps not a good comparison of pumps.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme Wheel Bearing Revisited

[Chris Young]

HI Ian,

I need to replace a front wheel bearing on my xtreme.

I've not taken it to bits yet, but any chance you could share the part
number for the skf bearing kits you bought?   are they left and right
handed?

Also you mention inner and outer bearings,  could you elaborate? I thought
there was just one in there, or does the kit cover them both.

thanks :)

Chris

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Quantum Badge

I take it that is after speaking with Mark Burley?  I'd of thought he would
have had some, as he has shifted some Xtremes since taking over.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: help with parts and contact

[Chris Young]

nice,  how do you find the vents up on the bonnet work?   sorry to see the
state of the arch.. are you going to try and fix it up, or order a new one?

On 22 June 2015 at 09:07, ricky deacon deac...@gmail.com wrote:

 Cheers for the pictures Chris, They were the brackets that I had
 originally however I wanted to change the look of the arches so decided to
 fabricate some brackets. Believe it or not I actually used metal straping
 used in house building as it is extremely thin but very strong.
 Initially it caused a bit too much bounce in the arch so we doubled up the
 bracket and this solved the problem.
 This actually allowed me to get the cycle arch extremely close to the
 wheel which looks great. The original braket would never have worked with
 this as I have 17 wheels with 205 wide tyres which leaves very little
 space when the arch is dropped onto the tyre.

 If they are the standard ones then I think I will have to stick to
 fabricating new ones to achieve the same look. I have attached pictures to
 try to show the state of the arch after coming off and also how low they
 are on the car. Not a great angle but you can get some idea.

 Also thanks for the build manuals. I am sure as I start to do more work to
 the car they will come in very handy.

 Cheers for the suggestions guys. Good advice that I will do my best to
 follow hopefully on Friday evening when I have some spare time and the
 weather is ok.
 I dont really ahve answers to the questions but I would say that it is
 probably not a rubbing issue on the pdeal as I can sit idle and rev the
 hell out of it without it cutting out. So cables cant be the culprit in
 this case.

 I will try to see if starting slowly and then hitting top revs causes it
 to blow and therefore an increase in current is blowing the fuse, At the
 moment I have been changing from first to second and as I floor it in
 second its cutting out.

 I dont really know if the coil pack is in anyway related as I am unsure
 as to what exactly is on the same system as this fuse. I know that the
 gauges cut out and the fuel pump stops but until I get a wiring diagram I
 cant really tell you what is on there.

 If anyone is able to locate one it would be much appreciated. One thing
 to add is that it appears the drop links appear to be non ford as my local
 spares place could not find anything to match the length or angle of the
 drop link. Very strange. We checked fiesta, sierra, galaxy, focus and
 escort links but not one is even close.

 I have resorted to just buying a galaxy droplink and taking off the
 gators from there and replacing them on my car. Simple enough process.

  Hi guys,

 I have also just found an issue during acceleration. When accelerating
 heavily the ignition fuse blows (cutting fuel pump) I cant find any obvious
 rason for this.

 Also, getting in contact with anyone from Quantum appears to be
 impossible. Does anyone have a contact number for them that works?

 Thanks for any support

leave a message then we will get back to them. For the quickest response
please send us a email at i...@quantumcars.eu and we can deal with you as
soon as possible.

can run the business)

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance write off

[Chris Young]

sorry to hear about the off  and glad you are ok and no one else got hurt
(I hope!)

I seem to remember Ian on hear getting uh hum rear ended  in is xtreme -
kermit,  he sent it down to devon and it got fixed up  if I remember
rightly...  I would agree depends on if the damage has gone into the
monocoque or just in the rear suspension etc.

As far I as I know Mark is still running Quantum @  http://quantumcars.eu/

you might have to get your car inspected by vosa once you have fixed it...
I remember buying back my robin hood, after I wrapped it's monoquoque into
a lamppost.. It was a cat  something write off, pretty certain financial
only.. I took the bits I wanted and managed to sell the lot on to some
crazy people who were going to try and straighten the monoquoque out use it
on track if not on the road again if they could get it passed. Still ended
up making more money by buying it back.


so in short If the cat is at a level where you can buy it back and you are
happy that you can fix it, I would say buy it back. As long as it get's
signed off if it needs an insepection, I can't see how it is any different
to any other car.  You could always call up a different insurance company
and say you are thinking of buying a car that was a cat x write off that is
back on the road and does it affect the premium?

I know how you feel re the I built it and I don't want to throw it away
 good luck,  shout if you would like to run anything else passed us.

all the best, Chris

 Oh dear, sorry to hear that.

 Do you know what category write off it is ?

 There is an article here explaining the different category's.

 http://www.rac.co.uk/community/blog/rac-blog/september-2011/what-is-an-insurance-write-off/
 Just the first one i found.

 Basically if it's D or C then you should be able to rebuild it, B or A and
 you won't.

 It  will also depend on whose insurance you are claiming from, if it was
 your fault and you are claiming on your insurance, then your insurance
 company will normally keep the car.
 But, depending on the category of the write off you maybe be able to buy
 it back from them for parts.

 If you are claiming off a third partys insurance then they will normally
 let you keep the car.

 That's from my past experiences anyway, but my last claim was 2003.
 That was when I had a KA turn the wrong way down a dual carridgeway in
 front of me in the dark and the rain.
 There wasn't a straight panel left on my 205GTI after i hit the KA and
 then large road sign, the whole thing was twisted.
 Certainly a catagory B but the 3rd party insurance company never mentioned
 the salvage, they even paid the recovery charge to move the remains from
 the police recovery yard to my house.

 When my 2+2 bonnet was damaged (also 2003, i ran into the back of Ian's
 Morgan on the Scottish Quantum tour, oops !) and they sent the claim
 paperwork through, i crossed out the section that mentioned the insurance
 company could keep the car and put i do not agree to this condition next
 to it.
 I never heard anything about it, and i don't know if would have changed
 anything.
 In the event they didn't write the car off so it wasn't a problem.

 Unfortunately i don't think you will be able to replace just a section of
 the chassis as it's all once piece spot welded together, you will probably
 have to replace the whole chassis.
 Unless, the company that make the extreme chassis are still doing them and
 they could refit it onto the original jig.
 I think you would still have to strip 90% of the chassis before they could
 put it on a jig though.

 Good luck,

 Jim

 Had a bit of an off in my Xtreme, and the insurance company (Ageas via
 Footman James) are now talking about writing it off.

 Has anyone got experience of buying it back and repairing it, was it easy,
 did it affect get insurance on it again?

 Don't want to lose it as I built it and put a lot of effort in. But it
 does need the rear box sections of the chassis replacing as they are a bit
 twisted!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance write off

[Chris Young]

let us know how you get on...   interesting they came and collected it,
with my RH, they inspected it on my drive. remember you don't have to go
with whoever they say is the repairer, you can say you want quantum to do
it as long as their quote is good.  you may even be able to argue you just
need parts and you can fix it yourself to keep the cost down to stop them
making it a write off.

or if it is safe, just don't make a claim as such.


it is a palava what ever.

good luck.

 It has bent the wishbones, but also twisted the box section. The

 have held up well though.
 Just had it picked up for inspection, so will wait and see what they say.

 Just shows what a mix of a bit of diesel, a damp road and cold tyres can

 depends on if the damage has
  gone into the monocoque or just in the rear suspension etc.
 
  As far I as I know Mark is still running Quantum @

  you might have to get your car inspected by vosa once you have fixed
 it... I remember buying
  back my robin hood, after I wrapped it's monoquoque into a lamppost.. It
 was a cat something
  write off, pretty certain financial only.. I took the bits I wanted and
 managed to sell the lot on to
  some crazy people who were going to try and straighten the monoquoque
 out use it on track if not
  on the road again if they could get it passed. Still ended up making
 more money by buying it back.
 
 
  so in short If the cat is at a level where you can buy it back and you
 are happy that you can fix it, I
  would say buy it back. As long as it get's signed off if it needs an
 insepection, I can't see how it is
  any different to any other car. You could always call up a different
 insurance company and say
  you are thinking of buying a car that was a cat x write off that is back
 on the road and does it
  affect the premium?
 
  I know how you feel re the I built it and I don't want to throw it
 away good luck, shout if you
  would like to run anything else passed us.

 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

Re: [Quantum Owners] adding fuel out let to bottom of Xtreme tank

[Chris Young]

thanks Nigel,   friad Curborough at the moment would just be a dream!  the
car is off the road and I couldn't really justify the time away from home
due to my young kids etc.

thus while I can't really be driving the car, it is having project time
instead in the eves.

If you do have a pic or two, that could be really helpful, It sounds like
what I was thinking of having done, just the chap who I would ask to weld
it for me reckoned it might buckle the tank when I discussed it before.)


(really with the v8, I could do with a bigger tank, period! I am planning
to be on the skcc euro trip next may but even when I am running on the bike
TBs and efi I might be running out before a petrol station!)

 Sorry had missed this post. The original tank as supplied by Q hsd the
 oitlet at the bottom, but for some reason I cant remember, I beleve it was
 a late addition by Q, when they started the zetec and injection route. The
 inside of the tank has a kind of swirl baffle system, to attempt to prevent
 the outlet becoming fuelless! However this didnt work well on mine and some
 others that I know of. On left hand corners on the track or once going onto
 the M27, with guel tank less than half full, the engine would die through
 fuel starvation.
 I looked at putting a swirl pot on, but couldnt find any plce to put one.
 I eventually welded an aux catch tank under the existing outlet together
 with additional feed holes to cover all corners!  I also kmow Q did a mod
 to another owners car which was simpler and I didnt think as good, but I do
 know it is working fine.
 I have photos that I can send you and more details if you are interested
 or better still can have a chat if you are at curborough.

 As chris says,  take the rear tub off, it seems a big job, but is actually
 quite easy. When you put a new one on, put it on the bulkhead behind the
 passenger seat, per Chris above, ghen you can easily access with just
 taking the rear NS wheel off.

 Is your car injection or carb? Mine is injection and the tank outlet is on
 the tank bottom, so am a little puzzled why the pump is on top, unless this
 is how earlier ones were plumbed with carbs and low pressure pump.

 Note also when removing the tub, you will likely have to remove harnesses
 at the top, where they attach throigh the tub and also there maybe two self
 tappers behind the seats holding the tub panel against frame. There are
 also two fasteners at the front botyom of the wheel arch, to stop it
 flapping around.

I just tilt the scuttle up to get access rather than remove.

on the v8 there are 2 more on the inside of the car,just in toward the foot
wells, but I had them removed as I was lifting the dash so much! no rattles.

 In order to get the nuts off the rear of the mirrors I need to get behind
 the dash. In order to get behind the dash the whole moulding has to come
 out. In order to get the moulding out you have to remove the column
 shroud,  stalks and steering wheel.
 Even then all the wiring looks like it will have to be pulled about to get
 my hand in there.
 am I missing a trick?
 There are only actually 4 fasteners holding this whole moulding in place.
 2 in the scuttle area and 2 on the dash rail of the chassis across the
 cockpit. When you go over bumps,  it rattles about and bounces a bit at the
 rear like it should be screwed down more?

the E5 / E10 fuels that are out there / on the way.

 Hiya folks

 Oops - was sure I purchased 10/8mm for mine - just got the measuring stick
 out, and I have 8/6mm.  Must have had a senior baldy bloke moment.  Thanks

Re: [Quantum Owners] Extreme

[Chris Young]

The Xtreme is a great car, I'm on my second, having had a 2l pinto and now
the v8 one.

friad I don't know yours, but someone may come along.

who did you buy it off? did they have no history to pass on.. does the log
book have previous owners names, back to the 1st, that might help some of
the more knowledgeable people on here! (as in they may know the person)

one thing to bear in mind, is that it is so easy to tweak our cars, that
owners on the way may have changed something from when it was built, so you
may just have to go on a fact finding mission. All part of the fun.

 Welcome to being a Quantum owner. The only source of the specs would
 likely be Quantum themselves or a previous owner. It is possible someone on

 Most of the Xtremes are Ford Pinto engines, and later ones have the Zetec
 in its various guises. A few have different engines as on offs. Yours as a
 52 reg is probably pinto.

 You are though certainly in the right place to ask any questions regarding
 these brilliant little cars.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Extreme

[Chris Young]

from my general understanding and asking a mate

'165-170 with standard head and sports exhaust and MTB throttle bodies or
carbs. Maybe a bit more with head porting matching to manifold'

I reckon that is a bit hight about 150 - 160 is more reasonable for
standard cam

all at the flywheel..

another good place to look:

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme exhaust silencer

[Chris Young]

don't know where you are, but I went to powerspeed in ashford (kent) when
my quantum one failed. I went for something much bigger and they also
raised the height of it, so the exhaust wasn't lower than the underside of
the car - (I kept hitting it on speed bumps etc)

I am sure it cost 400notes +

Re: [Quantum Owners] New xtreme owner

[Chris Young]

https://plus.google.com/photos/116862370669776250647/albums/5627862055215046401

scroll down towards the bottom and you will see how my 2.0l pinto powered
xtreme looked. I don't recall having overheating issues with it at all.

as long as the thermostat is opening i would have thought the standard Q
setup should be fine.

ah now timing that could be a very good point.  I changed the cam to a fr30
and went round to atspeed for a rr session. he adjusted the weights in the
standard dizzy to adjust the timing curve. I am sure he mentioned something
like 14degrees out. It wasn't the idle timeing that was the problem but the
under load timing that changes as the dizzy spins up.

I was running up to 100c but back down to something sensible post
adjustment.

 Apologies in advance, this is a double post from the proboards Quantum
 group.

 I have an Oxford Blue Xtreme that I bought a couple of weeks back.

 It is running a bit hot at times (it is quite content up to 75mph
 continuous and just flying about but if i push on up to 85mph it will rise
 to 100 degrees and then struggle to come back down even with a decent cool
 down cruise. Running the fan manually only seems to do so much (it is
 blowing through correctly - not running backwards).

 The story so far is:
 -The expansion tank cap threads were tired and jumped so I have put a
 replacement bottle on.
 -The top rad hose was down to canvas in places with a couple of big cracks
 almost all the way through which I have replaced.
 -The heater was plumbed in copper heating pipe which looked to have been
 leaking at the joint with the rubber pipe. Replaced with silicone heater
 hose and proper clips.
 -I have added a fill point to the top radiator hose highest point so I can
 get the air out for definite.
 -If found that if I let it get really hot I can see the tiniest little
 bubble occasionally coming from a pin prick hole in the radiator top tank
 (needs repairing). Top of rad is slightly deformed near this pin hole where
 bleed screw (temp sensor hole?) looks to have been yanked on too hard to
 free it off. Otherwise rad is pretty good condition.
 -Next check is to check existence and condition of correct thermostat.
 -Mixture is overly rich at the mo (can see puffs of black smoke on part
 throttle occasionally on twin 40s) so it shouldn't be that. Trying to get
 it dynoed / set-up once cooling is behaving.
 -Ignition timing has vacuum capped off so need to check timing is ball
 park with a strobe.
 -Check calibration on temp gauge in case it is lying.
 -After that I was going to put a bit more cooling through bonnet by
 cutting some nice holes in it (it has 5 round holes probably 1 or so in
 there already. It gets really hot under the bonnet.

 Spoke to quantum about just buying a new radiator but they dont do them
 anymore? Design has changed on newer cars post 2010 and old one isn't
 available.

 I am assuming the stock system of quantum radiator on a fairly mild 2.0
 pinto should be man enough for the job.

 So the questions are:
 -Does anyone know if the quantum rad is an out-and-out special or does it
 come from somewhere else (it is donor sierra according to the list).
 -Are there any obvious mods to get more air moving over it (ducts and
 holes etc). I have seen on the v8 xtreme thread that Chris is running the
 radiator upright where mine is laid back against the chassis at an angle
 -Is there a more modern alternative rad.
 -Is getting rid of under bonnet heat more relevant as big SPAL fan is
 ultimately blowing a lot of the heat under the bonnet.
 -What sort of ignition advance do you run on a 2.0 pinto with a mild cam
 and no vacuum advance.


 Loads of questions!!I am not expecting it to able to sit for hours on the
 M25 with the engine running but I was figuring I should be able to do 85mph
 at 20 degrees air temp.

 Apologies in advance, this is a double post from the proboards Quantum
 group.

 I have an Oxford Blue Xtreme that I bought a couple of weeks back.

 It is running a bit hot at times (it is quite content up to 75mph
 continuous and just flying about but if i push on up to 85mph it will rise
 to 100 degrees and then struggle to come back down even with a decent cool
 down cruise. Running the fan manually only seems to do so much (it is
 blowing through correctly - not running backwards).

 The story so far is:
 -The expansion tank cap threads were tired and jumped so I have put a
 replacement bottle on.
 -The top rad hose was down to canvas in places with a couple of big
 cracks almost all the way through which I have replaced.
 -The heater was plumbed in copper heating pipe which looked to have been
 leaking at the joint with the rubber pipe. Replaced with silicone heater
 hose and proper clips.
 -I have added a fill point to the top radiator hose highest point so I
 can get the air out for definite.
 -If found that if I let it get really hot I can see the tiniest little
 bubble occasionally coming from a pin prick hole in the radiator top tank
 (needs repairing). Top of rad is slightly deformed near this pin hole where
 bleed screw (temp sensor hole?) looks to have been yanked on too hard to
 free it off. Otherwise rad is pretty good condition.
 -Next check is to check existence and condition of correct thermostat.
 -Mixture is overly rich at the mo (can see puffs of black smoke on part
 throttle occasionally on twin 40s) so it shouldn't be that. Trying to get
 it dynoed / set-up once cooling is behaving.
 -Ignition timing has vacuum capped off so need to check timing is ball
 park with a strobe.
 -Check calibration on temp gauge in case it is lying.
 -After that I was going to put a bit more cooling through bonnet by
 cutting some nice holes in it (it has 5 round holes probably 1 or so in
 there already. It gets really hot under the bonnet.

 Spoke to quantum about just buying a new radiator but they dont do them
 anymore? Design has changed on newer cars post 2010 and old one isn't
 available.

 I am assuming the stock system of quantum radiator on a fairly mild 2.0
 pinto should be man enough for the job.

 So the questions are:
 -Does anyone know if the quantum rad is an out-and-out special or does
 it come from somewhere else (it is donor sierra according to the list).
 -Are there any obvious mods to get more air moving over it (ducts and
 holes etc). I have seen on the v8 xtreme thread that Chris is running the
 radiator upright where mine is laid back against the chassis at an angle
 -Is there a more modern alternative rad.
 -Is getting rid of under bonnet heat more relevant as big SPAL fan is
 ultimately blowing a lot of the heat under the bonnet.
 -What sort of ignition advance do you run on a 2.0 pinto with a mild cam
 and no vacuum advance.


 Loads of questions!!I am not expecting it to able to sit for hours on
 the M25 with the engine running but I was figuring I should be able to do
 85mph at 20 degrees air temp.

 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!

[Quantum Owners] Re: removing the v8 from the Xtreme

[Chris Young]

I managed to get it out!

https://plus.google.com/116862370669776250647/posts/b1kdgPutQZo


Chris F - I could see no way to remove the remote in situ, (if you did you
must be a magician!) so I ended up cutting the rubber on the rear gearbox
mount, which was looking a bit ropey anyway, I then levered the box over
the remaining rubber lip, undid the bellhousing bolts, they are nice too, 2
of which you can't get a socket over!, then gearbox back down the tunnel,
separate the 2 and just get the engine out.

getting it back in will be fun ! but that is a while off yet.  And
definiatly not something I will be doing in the dark by myself!

 I’ve made up a temporary one from household copper piping fittings, which

 Of course, I didn’t have all the bits I needed did I? Oh no!! That would

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme in my workshop!

[Chris Young]

mine has a rover v8.. I think the only one. Chris F has the credit for
getting it built.. I have just tarted it up and am going to turn it to some
sort of EFI with motorbike throttle bodies (when family life permits!)

I too found the clutch pedal a bit bonkers. Up there is a sierra pedal box
essentially, so relies on the sierra yellow curved bit. I changed mine to a
mondeo one I think which has a larger radius, thus more cable move for less
pedal movement.

Mark at quantaum cars does still promote the v8 option, but I am not sure
which one and or how many plans he has.. the monoque had to get modified to
take the v8, well really the bell housing and lt77 gear box.

If i hadn't of seen the v8 one up for grabs I was going to try and use the
type 9 with an adaptor bell housing to rv8.. but never got that far. well I
say that, I did buy a cheap rubbish rv8 and did put it all together and
have a trial fit to see what would go and there I saw that the front cross
members would need modifying or the tunnel etc.

if you are interested.

 Have to say I would quite happily own one. I like the idea of the V8, will
 see if i can see anything on the website, which engine is used?

 The yellow car is progressing well in the workshop in Sandhurst, i've
 completed all the gelcoat repairs and extra stripping of body fittings, the
 car went into primer yesterday evening.

 One critiscism of the car that needs addressing is that the clutch pedal
 throw is way too long. I'm guessing there is a Ford type 9 gearbox in there
 with a cable? Seems lke it needs a concentric release bearing fitted with a
 nice hydraulic pedal.

 Cheers Peter

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme in my workshop!

[Chris Young]

that is why after um breaking in a similar fasion my robin hood that I
built, I snapped up a pinto powered Xtreme - have now sold that and took a
blind gamble on the v8 Xtreme..

awesome car, not too small relative to other 7esqs... and comfortable for
hours of driving too.

I really like them as you may have guessed!

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: what rubber for xtreme

[Chris Young]

thanks for the replies chaps - interesting to read about your experiences...

anyone know how many xtreme owners their are?  (and how many are on here!)

I know they are more pricey, but I am tempted by the AVON C500 - the
caterham designed job.. the only thing is that the profile is 195/45 rather
than /50 - which will mean more revs to do the same speed - not sure if i
want that in the v8 !

cheers, Chris


On 5 June 2013 21:20, Nigel Plant nigelp...@gmail.com wrote:

 Apologies if this post appears twice but for some reason when I post from
 the phone, it doesn't seem to work!

 I have done a lot of tyre investigation both on track and road and have
 formed the following conclusions.  Note that I am stingy and don't believe
 in paying a lot for track tyres, when you have justy as much fun on road
 tyres ans they last a lot longer.

 For road use, the best tyre I have found is the Toyo Proxes T1R, which is
 a decent price and works well in the wet too.  The downside of these is
 that on track days the narrow tread block results in overheating and rapid
 wear and I quickly shred them.  I therefore use the Yokohama parada spec 2
 per Steve above, I find they are slightly less grippy than the Toyo, when
 cold and on the road, but on the track are far more consistent, grip very
 well, and due to the wider tread block design last a lot longer, the down
 side I have found is the wet grip isn't brilliant, but as my car is
 primarily a fine weather car that doesn't bother me.

 I agree with Ian's comments about the track tyres, being the best, the R1R
 is probably grippier, but they are softer and so life is less in theory,
 but I have never run to the expense so don't have the experience.

 Hope this is useful

 Nigel

 PS Can anyone explain why when I post from the phone it seems to work, but
 the post doesnt appear?

[Quantum Owners] what rubber for xtreme

[Chris Young]

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

cheers all

Chris

 As promised some notes about the polycarbonate windows that i have fitted

 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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Quantum ever let you down?

[Chris Young]

unlucky!

in the v8 xtreme, having thought I had things on track and had started to
use it, went to start it in the work carpark and ping the accelerator cable
snapped.. lucky for me this time it happened when i was stationary... it
happened in the last Q as i was accelerating hard with a beema right up my
   thankfully they backed off that time and I managed to fix it at the
side of the road.  this one needed two cables to get it sorted, the
first attempt fell to bits - brand new too!

glad it was an easy fix.

 diplomatic and lied when I told him we would have fun. In truth he would
 lose of course!
 However finally I will get to the point, and tell you that as we neared
 home the 2+2 backfired, suddenly all power was lost and I coasted into a
 lucky positioned layby 2 miles from home, so we walked the rest, and after
 collecting my A frame and Mondeo went back and dragged it home.
 Today I fixed the fault which turned out to be the small permanently live
 wire that is connected to the starter main lead live from the battery which
 had fractured and fallen off.
 I wish alll problems were so easy to fix.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: how the v8 Xtreme is getting on

[Chris Young]

yep they do!

they are these

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=174793

before I even drove with them I had bought some Halfords Extreme Brilliance
bulbs as with the standard ones even in the garage i thought light output
was down.

there is just one H1 bulb in them and a solenoid shutter that lifts up when
going from dipped to main beam (flat beam), so no 5w increase of power for
main.. dipped it not bad at all, but main is not the same as I was used
to.. but then on the red xtream i had added 2 extra mains so maybe i was a
bit spoilt!

 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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] gel coat colour code?

[Chris Young]

Mark at quantum kindly got back to me,

if someone wants to update the FAQ with a couple more colours:

Hi chris,

We don't sell it directly however, the colour is either a scott bader post
office red which is no 5312, or it is poppy which is 5352 if the new owner
goes to a scott bader branch he should be able to get the right touch up.

thanks for all of your ideas and pointers

Chris

 It may still be difficult to get a colour match unless the manufacturer of

 coat match for my Oxford Blue saloon, but this proved impossible.
 Matching to paint then became a visual exercise (not great for someone
 with colour-defficient vision!)

Re: [Quantum Owners] gel coat colour code?

[Chris Young]

Jin,

that is a very kind offer..

I need to persuade Rab (Robert) who bought the car to sign up to this
group.. He said he isn't very computer savy, which I think is putting him
off.

I'll let him know what you suggested, as to me he seems like a really
decent bloke, trusted me enough to put the cash in my bank before the
courier had seen that the car existed, so I would trust him too ! (he was a
tad mad in my opinion!)
cheers

Chris

Re: [Quantum Owners] low coolant alarm

a very neat solution to a potential disastrous problem.

I like it :)

 Heres  little winter project ive been working on

 I'm cautious about loosing the coolant from the cooling system, I've
 cooked a couple of cars to coolant loss and don't want this happening
 here,

 To begin with i downloaded the diagram from this place.

 http://www.circuitsgallery.com/2012/08/water-tank-lowl-evel-alarm.html

 i just upped the voltages to 12v, cost about £3 to make

 the finished item looks like this, I've added a 12v flashing 10mm led
 to act as a double safeguard because although the buzzer is loud, so
 is the car.

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/2012%20quantum/IMG_20121228_102121_zps5eb3097a.jpg

 i was originally going to site the buzzer and LED behind the dash
 switch panel but thought it may be better to position the buzzer in
 the panel that used to house the radio joystick on the Fiesta.

 the probes were made from M5 stainless steel screws with special
 rubber washers fitted to the head and nut (both flange for extra
 surface area) these were drilled into the header tank to just below
 minimum level to alow for splashing and surging

 fitted with rubber sealing washers

 drilled and installed into the tank itself


 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/2012%20quantum/IMG_20121214_072822_zps6cd6064a.jpg

 bit tricky to tighten the heads but i managed  ;D

 http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o192/jindal/2012%20quantum/IMG_20130101_110619_zps096fc727.jpg

 all in I'm very happy, all that is left to do is buy an LED to replace
 the lamp for the fan on indicator i wired in last year, this lamp
 was fitted to the joystick panel but the new steering wheel obscures
 it a bit and the buzzer now lives there anyway. ill fit this LED to
 the dash panel by the water alarm LED.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness

[Chris Young]

good point - on mine the hazard switch has gone a bit dodgy and has to
be held  down a couple mm left the hazards not on and the indicators
not working either.

if the hazards don't work I would hazard, hey hey,  a guess that the
relay may be bust - I believe they contain a bimetallic strip of sorts
which uses heat to create the flash.

cheers

 Press the hazard switch on/off a dozen times and then try the indicators,
 the connections for the indicators go through the hazard switch.

 Subject: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness


 Hi all,

 My Q has recently developed an odd fault where the indicator doesn't
 do anything for the first ten miles of a journey. The stalk still
 works to control full beam but the indicators don't respond to it
 until the engine is completely warmed up. I'm therefore guessing that
 perhaps something somewhere is responding to heat and comes back to
 life once it's warm. I don't yet know if it's a fault with the stalk
 or something else. I'm not in the same league of troubleshooting
 experts as the rest of you so I thought it sensible to ask here if
 anyone else has experienced this before I start taking things apart.
 Any advice gratefully received.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Indicator oddness

[Chris Young]

to be clear

the hazard switch has to be held down.

if it is up even 1 or 2  mm leaves both the hazard off and the
indicators not working.

on mine the plastic where there is a little metal hook has worn so it
lets the switch raise up a mm. I have to wedge it down with a bit of
matchstick.

 the ebay pics look like the old piston heads ones, from when the

 so only the builder and 2 owners, so could be good, but I need to know

Ian - from the previous post I guess you have Kermit back.. I take it
Mark did a good job?  did you say you went for an engine upgrade as
the whole monocoque was being swapped and thus everything was off?

I may be coming up, a couple of the southernkitcar guys are heading up
from my way ish, but I think they are leaving too early for me and it
is a long way up from SW london - so prob not likely.
