hi this isnt much of an update but ive done a lot more just havent had time to take photos yet iam in the middle of making the mounts for the engine at the mo so soon it will be fitted. iam 90% this gearbox wont take the power even with the boost controller but ill soon find out lol. if it brakes ill get a cossy box or a mt75.

this was the adapter plates i made but they will be made in alloy later on but if they work i might just leave them in because i think the steel will be stronger. and you will never see them anyway.


this was the gearbox bolted to the engine so it all fits now.

Its getting there mate, cant wait to see it done :y:

im a bit behind now on this project. what engine and gearbox you using?

still waiting to see this car finished! keep up the good work mate! how many hours a week u spendin on it?

hi its an audi 20v turbo engine thats going into it now as it will be quicker and easyer to fit.

at the mo i only spend a few hours at work making the parts then about 2 hours a week messing with the car :n: i just seem to never have time i was hoping to have it done by now. but ive got a week off the 31st so hopfully the engine will be in and wired up.

Didn't know the engine was gunna be so big though, heck the more bhp the better :clapping:

Amazing mate, truly superb. Can't wait for the finished pictures.:afro:

good project.very very very very good!

wahoooooooooooooooo cant wait to see this all done should be a right blast :P

you will so have to take it to FCS 2008 :P (if all goes well that is) fingers crossed.

this is so cool. hat off mate :y:

i keep asking myself that lol iam planing on getting it ready for next year now i think. it will give me time to test it and iron out any probs. so when i take it to the track i no it will be ok.

i had to take a lot of weight off the car before the conversion so hopfully it wont be to much heavier so i will be able to tune the shocks to get it to go round corners.

i think now the suns going i will get it ready for next years shows it wont be no show car tho just fast.

thanks for all your positive comments so far.
adam

I've just read this from start, I cant believe you've done all that work in so little time.

At least if you aim for next year you will have chance to do a proper trial and error with it and maybe a bit of styling (respray?)

Its funny that you bought a v6, a Zetec, a 1.6cvh turbo and a 2.3 before settling on the Audi engine, its all spontaneous!

Will it owe you more than £2k complete to convert it?

hi
your right about being spontaneous lol. its all been trial and error i had a rough idea how to do it. but then i had to change my ideas when i went to fit the parts. but now ive done it it will be easyer next time.
when i striped the car i sold all the bits and made about 500 pounds.
so far ive prob spent about 500 not including the other engines. but ive still got them for other projects. next time iam gonna use a bike engine it would be alot easyer.
adam

then start doing your own kits ;)
