Wow - some seriously impressive work going on there!

 

Watching with interest..

[rallyeash 155]

Awsome

[Matt180 31]

Here's a few other bits that i have been working on

 

 

Custom reduced size (130mm) 8 rib alloy pulley. This will allow me to reduce the size of the S/C pulley without overspeeding the charger and save a lot of weight!!

 

 

 

Also had brackets and bells machined up for a pair of light weight AP 3696 calipers

 

[Matt180 31]

You may have noticed the extra holes in disk bells. I decided to re-drill 4x100 due to lack of wheel choice in 4x108. I have gone for 949racing 6ul's which are about the lightest on the market....the 15x9's weigh in at 5.8kg

How do they not hit the strut?

[Matt180 31]

Because i am making my own hubs and struts

Some fantastic fabrication and thought here... 10/10 on this fella

[zeebraa 4]

Looks awesome.

[Matt180 31]

Thanks for all the comments guys!!

 

 

Fabrication on the fromt suspension has stopped for a short time while i finalise some designes and wait for machined parts.

 

I decided to get the engine mounted so i can start mocking up rad/intercooler postitions etc.

 

 

 

I did a little experiment with a stanard 180 inlet manifold measuring air flow from each port at a set pressure. The differences between them were fairly substantial!!. Decision made, centre feed inlet......

 

The inlet plenum just needs trumpets welding in to finish it off

 

Also made a expantion tank/oil breather tank combo to make best use of the space i have.

 

 

 

Quaife quickrack getting built

Top work! Whats the purpose of the modification to the inner wings? Clearance?

[Matt180 31]

9.5" wide wheel/tyre and low ground clearance

[Kane 34]

Whats the plan for wings/arches as being that low and wide I'd imagine you'll be chewing up tyres with standard sizes

[Matt180 31]

Im not sure yet. I didn't want to go the dimma route but it will be something along those lines. I might try contanting some fibreglass companies to see what they can offer

[zeebraa 4]

What are you using in the mounts for bushing?

[allanallen 528 2 Cars]

I like this a lot

 

 

That is all

[Matt180 31]

Engine is solid mounted, no need for bushes

[Gman 29]

How come you're not using your old rotrex setup. That engine was fantastic

[Matt180 31]

I am still using the rotrex, with a forged sandy brown engine

[Reebmit 51 4 Cars]

I like this a lot

That is all

So do I.... Allan, nothing like good engineering Edited January 31, 2016 by Reebmit
