Interesting, I want to do something like that to mine some day.....

Thought I'd update this.

Tony and I have been working quite hard on the car getting it ready for another outing, with another new engine.

This time we thing we have all the issues sorted.

The new engine runs very nice, has been run in and while the engine was apart, we had another play with the head.

 

New fiberglass bonnet is on the car and is all painted.

We are in the process of doing the boot, that should be completed this weekend.

That really own leaves the lexan windows to do and that'll be all the lightening the car will need, I think 750kg's is lite enough, for now!!

A lot of the stuff we are doing at the moment is just fine tuning and development work.

 

We have approx 3 weeks before it's next rally, so if it finishes this event then it can return to being a Rollaclub ride!! "hint":wink:

sounding quite excelent.

 

Has certainly come along way since i looked over it as a bare shell a few yrs ago!!!

 

What rally are you going to?

Selling? Jesus, so much time put into it. Be a shame to see it go.

 

If that's what you're actually talking about lol

Dave, Hirstglen, first round of the Sprint master series.

 

Willis, was talking about moving the thread back to the rides section, sell it? you have to be joking.:lolcry:

He's talking about moving it out of the build section and into the Ride i.e. complete car section.

 

Not that a car like that is every truly complete! :)

 

So, I've been dreaming about fiberglass bonnets today (I'm weird) any chance of a production run? ;)

Was going to say, you'd be mad to get rid of this car!

holy crap, what a read :)

 

that's awesome news that it's all back together after what the second engine + numerous parts replaced.

 

sounded awesome in the videos. so much attention to detail you should get sponsors to help with parts etc :) (or just pay you to drive it around)

 

does look fantastic!!!

Thanks Ash, yip it's been quite an effort.

 

Well the new bonnet and boot are on the car, yes fiberglass and very, very lite.

the car must weigh about 780kg's at a guess now, find out in a couple of weeks when it goes back on the scales.

Jack has been lightened as well and ditched the old handle to crank it, have welded a wheel nut on to it and now use an impact gun to operate it.

Thanks to Justin(medince man) for helping out.

Congrat's to TRD(tony) on a fantastic drive, some very stiff competition from a 20v AE1**, but the little 70 walked away with 1st in class (1600cc), 5th outright and first 2wd.

 

Admin's, can we move this back to rides NOW?

Incar from one of the runs, and yes that is water on the inside of the windscreen, looks as if the windscreen seal didn't adhere.
