lovin this, did you do the fab of the front turrets and floors?

Shitcake

The cam gears i bought from the company that supply newman cams, you can see newman stamped on them just. I can't remember who they were, met them at the nec autosport show last year.
I'm afraid i didn't do the fab work on the related rwd conversion parts eg front towers and rear four link boxes/diff tunnel, i tweaked a few bits, everything else was done by myself, i believe A RS LICKER who has commented on this thread did the work for the intial conversion.
Many thanks, more photo's to come very soon!!!

Wicked project mate! nice to see a different engine being used instead of a yb! a lot of works been put into this it seems! quality work as well!

frsjon

awesome project the pistons you are using,any pics of the top face ? and what compression ratio are they? only asking as i have the same

Shitcake

I bought the windows off mike templar on ebay, cant see him on there at the moment tho, rally design do them tho, so they are available.

I'm really enjoyin this project been just under 2 years with it now, hopefully will be out for next summer. Is good not using a yb for a change, quite abit of potential in the zetecs and there plentiful right now.

I'll try get a pic up of the tops of the pistons, they have valve cutouts machined in them if that helps, there 9.0:1 compression, been lookin at altering this tho, will be getting stuck into the engine very soon.

Thanks all for positive comments it really does help drive you on in a project

Shitcake

Have been very slack with updates on this, progress is good and the car is nearly finished. Current photos to follow very soon!

Second seat in today, and a shot of the boot. Thanks for comments guys. Always wanted to do something pretty much from scratch, cant say i will ever do one to this extent again!! lol

car look fantastic keep the pics coming
question where/who did your cam cover in the carbon guessing its been dipped or something ?

Shitcake

I bought the cam cover like it from eBay, but wasn't 100% on the finish so flogged it on eBay. It had been dipped though. I heard these guys are pretty spot on finish wise http://www.hydro-graffix.co.uk/
