looking ace chick!!

is there enough space with the bulk head to fit the inlet? looks quite far back, probably misleading without!


I think there is a VW oil cap that fits the rs1600i rocker cover if ever a new one is needed, cant remember which model though, possibly mk2 golf.

small update

right update time peeps,,,,

as said before the brake set up i attempted was doomed for failure,,,,

so i bought this to replace it,,,,



its held by a custom bracic then welded via a strengthening plate to the bulk head

it will have another master cylinder on the unit as i wil be running a hydrolic clutch but i need to work out the size of cylinder needed so havent ordered that 1 yet,,,

has a proper pedal ratio so thats solved problem
also houses all the cylnder inside the car leaving the engine bay free :cool!:
also sorted another fluid resevoir to go with my other 2


& another remote drop down kit



also as the car is going in for its engine bay painting & modding & the interior painting,,,i found a bit of rust on the sills & nearside turret surround so bought the replacement panels to get it done properly

inner & outer sills both sides





nearside turret surround


also spoke to FMS (field motorsport) & booked the engine in for its dyno/mapping session at the end of the month cant wait

thats all folks

IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER

recieved my exhaust manifold today from brian hansen
the quality is second to none,,,so massive thanks to him

the engine is now complete & ready for build & mapping to commence at the end of the month

so what do you all think???







yes the restrictor is coming off,,,,& i still need to fit the core plug to cover the dizzy hole,,,,
also need to make the bracket for the actuator & fit proper exhaust studs etc but you get the picture





more soon

the pictures dissapeared for a while as stu & pet where trying a new thumbnail pic re - sizing thing that made them not appear on screen
so ive edited them again as it didnt work

as for the box,,,its hydrolic clutch & bias front/rear brakes with balance bar assembly etc

rallye design mate as gus said,,,
part no - 340-3342 £137.50

then you will need 3 master cylinders @ £24.50 each

3 fluid resevoirs @ £11.50 each

3 remote drop down kits (pipe from cylinder to resevoir) @ £14.50 each

3 resevoir brackets (or make your own) @ 2.90 each

& a remote bias cable adjuster @ about £30 (cant remember exactly on this)

all items are plus v.a.t tho
