looks awesome, dont you get a smell of fuel using std rubber fuel pipes mate?

 

looks sweet!

 

Looks the nutts

But why the big wheels and square arches?

Have you dropped the floor pan to facilitate the floor mounted pedal box?

 

No, not if you use fuel hose.

 

elo mate do u want a rs1600i spoiler for ur motor

 

The wheels are 16inch.

The arch is just what fitted.

The floor is just the same, I have moved the seat as far back as poss, so you now sit on the floor with your legs streatched out in front of you. I am 5ft 8, feels right to me!! Cant see much though?

 

i ve used fuel hose from merlin motor sport std rubber and then tried from my local motor factors and the car if left for any time has a strong smell of petrol

i was told to use teflon lined hose

 

Thanks for the offer, I still have the origonal ones.

Simon.

 

no worrys simon but if fu know any 1 that does can u send them my way plz

 

Interesting Gary! I have used high pressure fuel injection hose from my motor factor. I does not smell at all. I have also done plenty of customer cars in it to.
If you want to be flash you can use Krontec stuff, its 8mm or 10mm ali tube and get dash fitting for the ends. It works out as a mid price option.

Simon.

 

lol very tempted to try the same sort of peddal box in mine (MK6 escort) but not sure how itd sit, you putting a false floor over it I guess? to rest your heals?

also liking your choice in fule lines, I want to run black fuel lines and oil lines from dry sump in rubber as not keen on braided stuff.

 

it dont bother me that much tbh once driving you dont notice it, its just if its left for a day or so you get a wiff when you open the door i ve learned to accept its just the hose used i was contemplting running the pipes back under neath the car and using 10mm copper pipe that only leaves a small amount of pipe in the boot area then

 

its abit bufty
is the six speed going to be used?

 

I'll give you bufty

Yes it the same old 6 speeder I have ran for the last 3.5 years.

 

hi simon nice very nice iam Jealous of the bracke pedal box on the flour going to run one on the bulk head like your old car

i wonder where you will run the exhaust

 

Simply awsome. love the look

 

That pedal box looks familiar.....oh its the same as mine...or is it mine?Any way the pics don't do this car justice, proper track weapon.

 

Hi Adam, its the same as yours. Did the mock up with yours, then ordered my own.

 

The plan is shakedown Crail 11th April then down to Pod for centrel day. Want to race Luca, crazycage and Stu Collins
I have to finish it first

Simon.

 

exhausts will be side exits. just in front of the back wheels.

 

a few late nights should do the job

 

very nice

 

for pink slips

 

Im up for tht although i dont have an engine built yet

3weeks to go
