pe-arce Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Got my head back from Glenn this morning. Went over for cnc machining, new oversize valves, springs, clearanceing for the enormous cam etc. looking forward to getting the engine built up. Picked up another engine and box from chch today too so I can wire up and get a standard engine going to check the new fuel and oil systems are working correctly before dropping in the expensive one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe-arce Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Did some work on the front wheel tub today. Had done it previously but then it needed a bash further back so ended up a bit shit. Decided to cut some more out and reweld it. Here it is compared to the other side I haven't done yet. \ \ \ \ } 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Also with the dummy engine out i was able to clean up the tunnel and weld in some gussets to strengthen the chassis rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post pe-arce Posted June 13, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 13, 2015 Just about have the other engine ready to go in. Just a couple of things left to sort out. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe-arce Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Filled up the last of the holes in the parcel tray. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 This wee bit here was one of the more difficult things I've had to do during this. It's in the boot on top of the wheel tub sealing against the outer quarter panel. There's one on the other side too. But it firewalls the boot over the tub and will prevent me having to fill all the holes up the c pillar , in the back of this photo and also won't need to seal off the area between the door and wheel tub inside the car so should save a bit of weight. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pe-arce Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Finalised my rear brakes the other day. I originally got some 2 pot AP callipers to suit a solid rotor as I had rotors already from an Audi 80 that were going to be ok but they turned out to be too small in diameter for the calliper so after exploring all sorts of options I was going to have to go to 2 piece rotors. Because i was going to the trouble of 2 piece rotors I decided to change the callipers to suit vented rotors. Have settled on these ap 2 pots to suit a 280x17 rotor. Needed to draw up some things for the sway bar and brake mounts and bells but the graphics card in my iMac with autocad on it has decided to pack it in so had to dig out the old drawing utensils. Old school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Found some Halliday racing wheels in 15x10 that I might buy. Looks sweet. Fronts might have to be taken back to 9s because I have to space them 10mm to clear the brake calliper which means the tyre probably won't tuck under the arch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 Been doing a bit of welding finishing things up. Got passenger seat harness plates in for a potential passenger. Welded up a few trim holes and other bits and pieces. Got from guards welded on now and the bubble arches bolted up. Want bolt on for ease of replacement if they brake/ get broken during racing. \ \ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post pe-arce Posted December 2, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2015 So finally ordered the correct an8 fittings for the fuel rails. Third time lucky. Managed to order M8s and M10s the first two times. Muppet. Started plumbing the fuel. Got engine completed back to the firewall. Will be running braided line along the tunnel inside the car. \ \ \ 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 They need a bit of a tidy up but keen to see how they looked so put some old 225/50/15 tyres on to roll round the workshop. \ \ \ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Arse end needs to be raised a bit and going to have to modify the tension strut kit in the front some more to pull the wheels forward in the arch then trim the arch to clear the wheels. Otherwise fronts will have to go back to 9s. \ \ \ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe-arce Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Got the radiator in today. Made the brackets out of 1mm alloy and just used some rivnuts to bolt it in place. They follow the shape of the front of the car so box the sides nicely. Just need a bit along the top and it should be good. \ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
