It will be green sent colour change off on logbook.
Possibly engine bay in white to aid fluid spray spotting and interior to match for same reason. Lol |
Might have got the wrong end of the st... Wrong idea.
How much fluid are you going to spray inside?:oops: |
Kidding aside - White interior is a genius idea for detection, etc

Still waiting for a passenger ride :ok:

Thats gonna have wider hips than me
Cant wait to see this beast done |
few parts bought and engine decision made :)
intercooler http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/60c8ddbd.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/d109a41f.jpg engine http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/2a6b0733.jpg using this engine will delay the car being complete but seem silly to fit 2.3 and then pull it apart at some point in the future to fit the new engine. Simon |
Thought that decision was made along time ago :norty:

Are they mini coke cans or is it just huge??
|
Full size cans but intercooler is similar size to normal fmic
|
Twin entry/exit??... What Turbos?? :o)
|
Twin yes
Various is the answer to what turbos, start small and work up |
Thats going to wicked mate, will be interesting to see what sort of power and torque it makes. Cat cams may be worth speaking to about the cams, they make hollow camshafts to keep the weight down and they will make them to any spec. They should be able sort out some vernier pullys too if there any diffrent to EJ20 etc?
|
cams are in progress.. last I heard the cnc machine program was being written.
they are very different.. the exhaust only have cam wheels and a cambelt.. the inlets are driven by a cog wheels from inlet to exhaust.. all will be revealed as it gets built I suspect.. so adjustable cam wheels become an issue as you adjust the exhaust wheels but it also effects the inlet.. possibly looking at offset keyways etc to allow adjustment of the inlet cams too Simon |
If you need a facelift rear bumper, i have one from the RA looking for a good home Si :)
|
forgot they were different.. hmmmm maybe :)
|
I'll drop it off at Stews
|

|

|

|
|
Are you going to get through that gap with a seat in Simon
|

People have suggested it will be difficult to get in and out so I had a test

Stew said the same today I Have seats from green car with very worn drivers seat but not got budget to replace yet, bit if screen has to come out to get them in and out lol thats no fun. I think there is enough room |
Quote:
It shouldnt rust more than surface as it is chromoly. Also it appears it maybe lucky to be inside from next week :) |
I reckon your'll be ok with the seats
|
Me too
Was funny as I suggested as rear screen will be perspex and easy to fit and remove they could go threw there. Stew the reminded me of the metal work there lol like the massive cross |
