right so progress is coming along nicely plenty of photos on previous page. itbs will be mounted next week and hopefully i will get ecu and begin wiring. plan to have to car back on the road by next month so watch out !!!!! haha sleeper FTW

This is sweet mate!

:O respect, thing this is pretty cool, so smart, keep up the good work!

Big respect towards you mate for going with a flatarch and making it fucking lairy lol
and i bet it will be alot of fun and the grin factor must be massive when you upset some of the bigger boys

just out of interest what brakes are you running?

The great thing is if you ever have to you can drop the engine and suspension off the car and into a VT

Awesome mate :y:

I bet you suprise most cars on the road :p

awsom. i love arnold

Did you do the inlet welding yourself? Looks awesome! Lovely work man

:o wow

looking good buddy :y:

yeah it is definetly the best thing about the car, i am driving a real 1.1 at the moment while i finish the itbs. that really is depressing haha. i am running vented discs on vts calipers at the moment. will upgrade to brembos eventually just alot of money.

i didnt weld the alu no. my friend did, i did all the other work tho. literally just got the bodies mounted on engine photos in a few seconds looks awesome

alot of hard work there mate, ultimate sleeper!

WOOOOOO some progress........


literally as soon as i can afford my ecu and manifold we should be up and running again !!!!







:):):)

cheers mate, means alot !

how do i edit the title with UPDATE so people will know when i have added more photos? and how can i make a signature with my progressthread link attached?

to change the main title, go to edit, then onto advanced or something, and u can change in there m8

porn nom nom nom

good work mate, and respect for making your own parts etc!

could you do me a favour and next time your taking photographs take a picture of your engine mount under the ECU?

im sure i can do that tonight im about to go do some more work after ive eaten

cheers mate just wanna see your inner wing lol

What sort of power you hoping for? Should be a little weapon when there on.

went to see fast 5 instead haha i will take a photo asap

i am still unsure what it will make. im hoping for around 160-170. it made that 145 on the standard inlet cast manifold and shitty standard stainless system. im hoping that with the bodies and 2" system and decent 4-2-1 with standalone ecu i will be able to up the power and make the most out of the ported head. i feel that it was restricted alot when i had it on rollers last.

i think anything more i may have to start looking into internals.

my mate rebuilt the same engine with standard internals mild cams and ported head. using the same r1bodies it made 175.

fucking looking large man!

i hope you take it somewhere decent to be put on the rollers!

where would you take it? my mate goes to alan jefferys but some people dont rate it. i know the guy at MB motorsport and hes pretty sound about it and will happily chat and listen to what you want.

i wouldnt touch jefferies personally, they are known for being abit generous with their figures.
and i know a few guys who had their motors in there, and im talking 600bhp evos, and they have forgotten to do this or that and its gone bang!

i know some of the guys at AP motors, but again, just dont trust their standards of work!

there is a guy over in saltash, with a rolling road in his house garage.
or
FCM motorsport in bristol - if you dont mind the trip, its worth it!

no problems mate lol

stripped out !

offside engine mount

sprayed inside the car !

waiting for my manifold to turn up :D more photos soon

I love this project! Truely amazing, can't wait to see it totally finished!

Nice colour, what manifold did you go for?

thanks alot ! hopefully be finished in the next month or so

i got a protech manifold. nice shape actually some of the manifolds i seen had a big massive join towards the top where as this one stays as 4 tubes all the way to the bottom :D

Looking forward to it mate! :D

Ohhhh yeah, this is cool as fuck, some sleeper you got there mate, glad to see someone making parts, mostly because i can't do a thing myself lol :y:
