Rear wheel drive volvo T5 saxo Rally B style

[hybriduno]

Hi all im a member of another volvo site and thought i would share this with you ..........Ok i know not everyone will approve but this is my little project, the stripped out Citroen saxo weighs in at 600kg ish and will be taking it up the A*s with the T5 lump ive just acquired. cannot wait to got on with it took 2 day to get this far. just need to know what wires do what lol. ill keep you all informed on how it goes

[hybriduno]

goodbye old girl thanks for your heart and soul!!

[hybriduno]

Next step to get the engine sort of lined up in there, place strut tops in,strengthen the chassis a bit more. Then drop here on the original springs and see if the saxo is even heavy enough to squash them down a bit.







Phat arse! lol

Got these profiles made ,

Had 3.5 hours on the vovaxo today.

after measuring,cutting,measuring again,romoving the engine,tacking the plates,installing the engine.......you get the picture.......this is what i got done.

[hybriduno]

Now the important info i need from you guys is whats the widest kit you can buy for the arse end of my car i think i need an extra 4" lol.

May be better off with some universal arches off eBay and fill them in??

[hybriduno]

Thats a lot of filler.

[DanTvts]

Not messing about are you! Best way to widen the body imo would be something like the saxo kit cars/ s1600. Something like this?

I might shorten the lower arms and driveshafts. might be the easier option.

Some more pics took today. got the struts within 2mm tolerance. got front main cage bent and ready to weld, also the back strenthening pipes are now bent too











More to follow next week

[Ryanoo]

Fuck me! This is going to be a right little demon when finished lol, that's some serious mechanical work you're doing there! Can't wait to see it when finished!

[monka]

awesome

as for the arch's what about just some jdm/escort style style arch's

these sort of things

seen the jdm style ones on an s1 106, looked awesome

[blackie_2k5]

main central hoop should be one solid piece bent to shape

roll it and those welds fail thatll be one big knife....even if the whole thing twists from the torque or in a bump that pipe could cut your throat/head off

[hybriduno]

Ok a small but yet still an update. only got 1 hour on the volvaxo today so made a shock tower up ready to fix in.. second one should be made by tomz too. heres a couple of pics.





Bare in mind that its not the finished product i have many hours work just on the towers alone,plus some idea's that i may through in there.

Update: ok so here we go again.

Engine out again! more cut out of chassis struts placed in, tacked up and some welding/shaping taking place and a big thanks to graham for making my plates to cover the hole above the top mount

[Pricklep]

Interesting

[hybriduno]

Nothing pleases me more than lumps of steel going together and making something look good, these struts are going together really well, and yet again thanks to graham for the plate's he made for me. It may look nothing,and there's been a lot of hours involved lol but standing back and looking where we are now im very pleased,

[hybriduno]

Pipercross pulled it out of the bag! thanks so much guys custom filter will look just the part

Working on her tom night + 7 hours on Friday + a full Saturday i think really want to se her go more than ever now!

[hybriduno]
