Now the winter is around the corner here in Norway, and that meens that its time to park the car in the workshop. Have a short videoclip from the other day :)

 

 

not so bad for a 4K :)

 

When I park it the fun begins. New engine is ready, and gearbox, and I will during the winter get that installed with a rollcage, fuelcell etc etc. Time to start the project :) It will be a budget build, so the goal for next season is to have a working car, and fix up build problems and issues when finding them :)

What's the new engine

What is that your parked on in second to last photo, looks like you have to park on it for leak checking?

At the track

Edited October 19, 201213 yr by Rollarolls

The new engine is a OM605 from Mercedes with a 5speed manual box :) will be tight ;)

 

Yes, the car is parked on a plastic sheat, all Cars driving on the track must have that when standing in pit. New rules this year :)

This is wild ^_^

Thanks :) as you see on the other pic I'm in the middle of the project now a days (acculy in Thailand for hollydays right now tough), and its getting really seriously rebuildt. Havent uppdatering this tread because I didnt think there was any interrest.. :)

Are these engines turbo?

DUDE! Update it. We love it!

always wanted to do a om642 or 646 conversion!

The engine is originaly turbo, yes. OM605.960, but i will use Holset HY35 turbo, and om605 n/a pump tuned to 180cc fuel and external ALDA :) can do a larger update when I come home from hollyday :)
