the cars looks superb

 

looks like a lot of camber on the front wheels in the first shot

 

love the dashboard- just clean and tidy

 

i would also like to know more about the doors

[rapidcossie 0]

I wouldnt recommend the doors unless you have a cage with realy good side bracing.

Hi,

 

Looks damm nice have you got it weight yet ???

I also sell the poly carb doors they fit right on ! price = €390 per peice..

Quality is suberb !

[Spiky 37]

[Spiky 37]

Do you know the weight of the Fibre glass doors? With/without the windows?

How are the fibreglass doors for stiffness upon opening/closing?

[sounds of silence 2]

dont know what they weight but can certainly say they dont weigh very much.

 

stiff enough to open and shut but still have to be careful with them as there aint alot of strength in them.

[Spiky 37]

any idea on price?

[sounds of silence 2]

a got mine from a friend but am sure they are about 200 a door pretty expensive for what they are but very effective as prob the most weight saving part i have

[Spiky 37]

cheers matey,

 

that not chesp are they

 

was hoping for 100 a side.

 

myabe i can take my doors off and use a plastic bag

[sounds of silence 2]

ye they aint cheap mate but save alot more with the doors than you ever would with the bonnet and hatch even better with them all lol

[arnold naber 2]

Are your doors double sided? I have had one in my hands one time i it saves alot of weight..

[sounds of silence 2]

they were yes but i also cut the inside out

[Spiky 37]

i would too...lol

oh my f**king god. what a beast! just spent a good 20 minutes reading this and dribbling over some of those pictures.

 

you have made one hell of a car there mate. very unique. well documented thread too, top man.

 

i suppose this is the out come if you have all of the facilities available to you.

 

i now want one...like really bad! i got a college project coming up...

jealous...

 

good work, I especially like the seam welding section and cage build. 205s must be extremely flimsy in racing car terms, so anything to increase the torsional rigidity can't be bad! nice to see cage going to suspension pickups as well otherwise it literally just is a roll over cage

 

turbos are for cheaters though

What an awesome build. Is the engine fully mapped now?

[sounds of silence 2]

after a few problems with the first engine on various parts

 

now mapped on different management now using omex

 

wossner rods and pistons

 

arp head stud and nut kit

 

making 380bhp atf @ 1.2 bar

[Sam 4]

Bet that's quite a weapon !

[rapidcossie 0]

was airborne in this today!

 

Mental car, breaks traction in 4th in the dry

[sounds of silence 2]

well after a few problems with the other engine

 

out came the new one with wossner pistons and rods ARP bolts

 

ARP head stud and nut kit (to try and hold the head down this time round :cry: )

 

new management omex

 

VEMS wideband and exhaust gas temperature sensors and gauge ( make sure all is good )

 

bottom end

 

 

in the car

 

 

updated dash

 

 

 

 

 

day at the rollers after finishing off the engine at 2am on sat morning set off to glasgow to AVA at 9.30 am

 

car on the rollers

 

 

 

 

 

then finished at 7pm

 

with a nice healthy 340bhp at the wheels @ 1.2 bar approx 380 bhp at the fly

 

had it out today for a blast and feels flying 8)

 

very impressed and well worth the effort and time not to mention the cash

 

and a very massive thanks to allan at AVA for all his time spent on setting up the management for me and getting the awsome power from the engine 8)

 

will be going back to get boost increased when i get bored of it
