d.p.n.s Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 i dont dig the third colour on that tbh, gold and red is a vibrant enough mix without white trying to squeeze in there alan mann racing colours ..... and i think it needs the white on the front and on the doors tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Big fan of the allan man colour scheme but i think it would always be compared as a replica which it is noway near. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My name is Russell Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 looking at that picture again it is perhaps more grey than silver? Would be choice to do it the same as yous UJ could line up cortina anglia and escort would be choice could have a race to have the cars finnished even FYI this is what matt black looks like UJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS5620 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think colourwise you should go a dark silver / gun metal grey And have a black stripes over the bonnet silver like this corty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegoose Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 pictures of cars +abillionz that white and blue combo could look good in a certain panel van too i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think colourwise you should go a dark silver / gun metal greyAnd have a black stripes over the bonnet silver like this corty Wow thats an AMAZING paintjob! Yeah fully agree with you "BS5620". something half way between gunmetal grey and silver. Ok cool game set match thats what im going with stocked you can make a cover for the fuel pump if you wantbut it should be sweet. just make sure you soilder the wires onto the trminals (i didnt the 1st time around and they popped off) and dont use shity plastic fuel filters as they implod lol but your getting there mate keep it up and get the bitch on the road lol dan Sweet, running none sounds easyer to me , Was thinking of also drilling a small hole into the conector and putting a pin through it to act as a locking pin for if im driving over grass etc.... hmm mabie a cover would be a good idea.

My name is Russell Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Bugger started making tramp bar setup on Sun ... established what i was hoping but had a feeling was the case last night from racing guru that i need to run my tramp bar on drivers side Bugger ... were my fuel line is placed. Dow so will have to r do that. Got my oil pressure sensor fitted into the block, was expecting it to be mega dificult requiring adaptors etc. So thats a bonus.

Unclejake Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Driver's side is correct. The torque from the engine transmitted through the drive train loads up that side more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 wonder if i should take it up through the floor like Aidens. Similar to a link box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 If you want it to perform perfectly then push it through the floor. If you ever want to put someone in the rear then don't. Cars are a compromise - always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Dont think i will ever have more than one pasanger .... the front seats are huge. On my way to your workshop now UJ ... BBQ in my car all ready to go will save you sausage yay working on racecars is f for Fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Without seeing it in the flesh nor being clear about your gusseting intentions I am concerned that your traction rod and mount is too weak. Are those bits of an EA Falcon Watts linkage you are using? If so what wall thickness is the tube for the longtitudinal link (it looks solid in the photo but I thought they were hollow). Good progress bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what wall thickness is the tube for the longtitudinal link (it looks solid in the photo but I thought they were hollow). Good progress bitch. Do you mean at the diff end? I still need to grind it down a little to get a full weld around the entire perimater to the shape of the diff. Will just weld the fuck out of it. If they fail i have some solid 5mm plates all cut and ready to weld on. what sort of forces are applied to a tramp bar? I have still to work out how to fix my threaded rod onto the solid tramp bars to give me tension adjustment. sugestions? I was going to run a fully enclosed box the same as a 4link box ... but opted for similar to aidens for ease of adjustment. and will just get a gearstick boot to cover the penatration. Hopefully cert man is down with this if not will just go back to plan B. This setup basicly confirms no rear seat now Where did your project thread go UJ? i remember there was something i wanted to similar on there suspension wise. will look under your car next time im at the shop.

Truenotch Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 It's looking like it has potential... reckon you could replicate that top box and mount, then add bottom links and coils later on? would be cool to 4link without too much hassle.

Hmmm future proofing .... 4 link is overkill IMO for what I'm aiming for at this stage, it was defiantly initially on my mind but don't need that precise performance/adjustment capabilities at the moment. It also came down to not having my sheet metal folder and couldnt be botherd picking it up otherwise i probably would have made a 4 link turret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
