Does anyone know the specs?
I read in the " Passion Ford Quizzz!" that the engine were moved back etc but I couldn't find anything more than that..

 

Has been moved back 10"

 

think its rumoured to bee spec'd to be 600bhp + 150 shot of NOS.

think that was the target figures anyway.

 

he told me he has 600+bhp, NOS, dry sump, gt40, very high rpm.

 

10 inches? that's like 30 cm then i guess that would affect the overall balance in the car as the 3dr is just a tad tailhappy..
must consider that as an alternative during winter rebuild then another idea i had was to move the pedalbox/steering/seat back 5-10".. or 20-30 cm
could do both.. just to get even more to do..
Did he get 50/50 weight distibution? or whatever he was aiming for..

I think i read the thread about approx 600 bhp and nos.. gotta love stupid ideas like that..

And yeah.. forgot to ask about pictures..

 

I think EVERYTHING is moved back, inc pedals, steering, seat, the lot

 

well.. yeah, i guess that have to be done since the engine is moved so much... my head is not working quite well today.. and all the other days...

 

Unless I was sitting back further than normal he defo wasn;t any further back round at Karls the other day

 

since i have noticed brom is back on the board

anything else you want to know mate
i will post loads of pics up soon theres a doug sterling post with the engine bay in there if you wana look at that

 

shings cuz am bigger and rounder it looks like am ferther forward due to my belly

 

Cheers for the reply..
i will probably ask more when i see some more pics..
I guess that the handling was improved since the engine is way back..
how is the weight distribution? 50/50?
i am relly curious to see how the car is built up and i hope there will be some high res pics of the engine/interior etc later..

And i found that pic of the enginebay and yes, i saved it

 

oh yes sorry mate
50/50 weight split with out fuel and me in it
am a very big lad so if deffo more to the rear

the problem with 3doors is there are tail happy due to no weight and also like escort cozzys if you aint got the power on they try to push on in the corners due to front end weight over the axle at the front
moving the engine back behind the centre line of the front wheels transorms the car
it turns in real fast now and when i got the hang of the car will be mint for drifting

tell me what pics your after and i will send you some mate
if you do a search on my posts theres loads of pics been posted while it was being built

 

The car looked awesome Brom, i had a look when it was parked up in the pits, id just been out in Newts escy cos

That 3dr is a credit to you mate, for all the man hours & hard work gone into the project

 

so when you're in it it's more like 30/70?
i know about the tailhappy 3dr as i have one myself..

was it "easy" moving the engine back? know it must have been a lot of labour but did you get any big problems?
did you build the transmission from the gearbox and back yourself? i know the Zoo does transmissions..

I am looking for the kind of pics that shows how you have done this and that.. you know, the technical stuff..
Will do a search thou..

 

yes mate got a jag diff set up on the rear soon will have wishbone type rear set up aswell
the prop shaft is only 93 cms long aswell

 

Certainly looked pretty impressive brom!!

btw, ive mailed you re. the brakes

 

Found a couple of pics (approx 50) but man, you post too darn much.. went through 20 pages of post where you had written something...

Is the jag diff a heavy b*stard? guess it take take some abuse thou..

btw: how much does the car weigh approx?

 

Makes a change to see a detailed spec rather than all the secrecy crap

 

now all the pipes are in for the dry sump and all fluids its around 1200 if i remeber
the jag diff weights 60 kg but then again its 10.25 inch and low weight on the middle of rear axle is where you want it

 

Yeah, was gonna comment on the fact that you give out details about the build, not the average "yeah, it's a car.. yes it has an engine...."
especially since you do this for a living.. (i guess)

1200 kgs? how much is the rollcage? i have a 3dr, stripped out, no cage, and it weighs 1060 with 3/4 of fuel... but it's quite slow anyway so it wont do me any good...

You asked me what i wanted pics of.. well, everything basically...
but i guess that would be too much to ask...
but for a start it would be cool to see some pics of the enginebay and interior..
if you want to send some by mail: robert@lenangen.com
feel free to fill my inbox..

 

fucking hell man this is some spec
