This is where im putting the air filter
I have now made an air box for this the bonnet acts as a lid
I have also moved the engine back 6"
Im trying the get as much of the bulk inbetween the axles

Daz - what's the deal with the LSV8 Twin Turbo...
I fancy a monaro and when I spoke to a few people it didn't seem to easy to achieve...
(although I know it's been done)

How fast can you afford to go LOL
Dont know how hard it would be to do a twin monaro may be a bit cramped.
Im going to use a truck engine with the vette big port, valve, heads
I will make my own manifolds and fit the turbos right at the front like this

Picked up my fuel tank from pro alloy today
It was from my drawing so fingers crossed it will fit
LOL
Had a look around whilst I was there and
There is an awesome fibreglass escort having some work done
The pictures of the escort on pf don't do it justice ,

Cheers Jay,
The tractive does look better only 35 kg as well,
On a cosworth fitment is the prop in the same position or would you need to mod
Much to get it to fit as i have based my tunnel around the coworth ,
It looks a deeper box but shorter may be just an illusion of the piccys ?

Done a bit more carbon stuff,
Made a dashboard,
Made it so it goes around the roll cage and door bars
3lb in weight the original is 13lb
Also started the rear air intakes for the rear rad conversion
Also made one of the air scoops
Also made the air box for the rad
I have made it small as i want to keep the air pressure up inside
Its divided as well
Some of the air boxs ive seen open up too much causing a pressure drop.
Also made a box for my pro alloy fuel tank as it sits behind me
Also made one of the front wings at last
3 piece mold and it worked fine
bit of fettling req but all good
fitted one of the arches up ive made
3.5 lb in weight compared to 15lb
