looking good paul,

see you went for the mdv panels in the end, so much easier than bonding on just an arch and with the actual arch part on the mdv quarter being kevlar there strong as fook but you will need a steel liner to brace the rest of the panel otherwise they will be fooked in 5 mins,

[frayz]

Love this project. Hope you bring it to MDV when its done.

MDV is less than 5 miles from my house

[fezzajsy]

getting there,well done

[muz]

Awsome stuff mate. Looks great.

hello fella,

i see you have the same seat as me for your fiesta but i have changed seats now so have my new cobra evo pro seat and side mounts for sale if your interested? im after £350 for the seat and mounts, its new but has been moved about and dummy fitted a few times so maybe a few marks on it but still mint, let me know ?

thanks Marc

[jdcrst]

I was in the workshop the other day ordering my fuel tanks. This really is a nice piece of work. I hear the cage is coming out to tub the rear end? It'll be the nuts when done. Who'll be first to finish you or Marc ?

[creator]

its the new year now paul so has work on this started again mate? and have you ordered that dry sump yet lol

thanks for offering me the seats but i only want 1 lol , i will ask around for you mate.

cheers paul

[zetaboostboy522bhp]

yeh thought we could get the tyres in but with the jwrc quaters theres no chance so back part of the cage is getting cut out and remade so suit the tubs etc , sad but real and marc will be done well before me defo!!

dry sump will be ordered very soon and then the engine will be ready for the dyno again

cheers beefy for the comments


cheer paul

[M K]

I already have a buyer for the seat mate so no worries just thought I'd offer you as you had one already,

so you tubbing the rear like mine now
mate? Why the change of plan?

[M K]

I doubt that mate lol I'm penniless after the fab work and have no engine ecu looms etc let alone dash brakes zorst another 20k should see me done though lol

lol tell me about it my engine will stand me at round the £12500 mark when ive brought the dry sump system then theres the dyno again. i aint got fuck all for mine , no suspension , rear upright etc so there lots of cash to still spend. i was thinking of getting some custom shocks built by nitron as they have a design your own or maybe the new 3 way avos as they seem to be priced well.

cheers paul

[AustenW]

Sounds like its coming along nicely mate

Are you going with Pace or Titan? I would use Pace TBH

When you get the dry sump get Pace to make you a custom pump for your application as it will need to draw more to keep a vacum in the crankcase as its a high boosted motor and will breath heavily, I know a couple of people who made the mistake of getting the standard pump for a nasp and now need to change it

Also ask about the rear filter attachment on the back of the pump as this cuts down on piping and looks alot cleaner IMO

has jim managed to start work back on this yet then paul?

any updates yet mate?

[zetaboostboy522bhp]

yes but i aint seen any yet until next saturday, spoke to jim and he says the car is fully welded up on the underside were the big tunnel , bulkhead , etc etc . the twin side exit exhaust tunnels are in , x4 sill tube mounts , wrc style engine mounts and jim says it looks very tidy and he dont blow his own turmpet so iam looking forward to seeing it . bootfloor , rear half of the cage and tubs will be started this week as poor old jim has got some cutting to do ha ha so hopefully by next sat the rear tubs , turrets and bootfloor should be back in the car. i am also going to buy a genuine wrc top mount but at £265 each and i need 4 thats over £1000 just for top mounts and i aint paying that so i will be getting them machined and will be selling them in pairs or x4 at no where near the cost i have brought them for but i need to speak to some machinest to get the cost.
also recieved my 4 injectors from ian , ian did some maths and worked out that 450cc injectors would be fine for the bhp we require for the 600bhp mark (not forgetting the 650cc aswell ). sent some stuff back to jenvey to get machined as i want everything o ringed for maxium sealing , and also upgrading to the 70mm diffuser which was in testing when i brought mine so they said just send it back and they will swap it. i will update when i have some pics

cheers paul

[James_RScos]

Great car Paul, any updates!!!!

[creator]

bump any recent updates mate??

[zetaboostboy522bhp]

well its been a while now and its time for a update , even though its not a massive one saying that the cars finished lol , i think you lads realise where the moneys being spent.
right lets start with the dreaded bodyshell

after much headscratching i wanted to run upto 10" rear wheels on the back end and they simply was no room so the rear half of the cage was chopped out so we could start the fabrication of the rear tubs
bye , bye rear cage



next was making the rear tubs , jim fully tig welded these as he want them to look there best and i must say that the quality is top notch



notice the side panel has been plated aswell

next was the turret towers fabricated out of 4mm thick pipe for strenght and also the swaged lines added to the tubs , infill panels and also billet machined rings for the top mounts to sit on also with a machined lip so it sits inside the turret tower so it can be stitched on the inside and fully tigs on the outside







billet machined ring fully tig welded and how good does that look , iam well please



genuine wrc 2 piece top mount , by the way iam having some made so if anyone is interested then give me a shout





both stat nicely tacked in place ready for welding and theres also been a raise boot floor to give us more clearance for the drive shafts and diff.



next was the side exit exhaust tunnels and sill stands. the exhaust tunnels are by the rear quaters







next was changing the engine mounts as andrew g gave me some sound advice saying they where too long , so wrc style bracket are added to give a short engine mount



next was finishing the floors ie stitch welding etc , notice the exhaust tunnel built into the passenger floor which has also been raised buy 3" to allow the massive silencers to be fitted for the side exit exhausts. the floor is very neat and everything is coming along nicely.





notice the different floor levels







the rear chassis legs have been cut off since the picture to accomodate the rear tubs

also having rollcage tophats machined for the rollcage tub male and female for the rear cradle pickups

next is back onto the engine side , i decided to paint my jenvet inlet , i wasnt sure wheather to do it or not but i though fuck it and sprayed it crackled black and iam really happy how its turned out. fuel rails are welded on , a -4 jic fitting for the vacuum block takeoff , air temp sensor drilled and tapped. i will take some more pics tomoz





next was the pace stage 3 twin scavenge dry sump system with water pump kit. kindly got by a shit hot member but he doesnt want his name mentioned , so many thanks to him and you know who you are.








nice piece of kit soon to be fitted. i was also taking to ian about cams so these will be ordered shortly and the engine will be shipped over to ian for final inspection before it goes back on the dyno.

next on the list

cams
alloy engine pulleys
machined alloy adaptor from inlet to throttle body
jic fitting to be welded on cam cover
billet thermostat housing
finish the exhaust manifold off

if theres anymore updates you lads will be the first to know

cheers paul
