Missed the last update.
Glad things are back on their feet, hope it all pans out well
Looking forward to more updates.

 

Just a brief update, these goodies arrived today, the start of all the fittings for the oil system. Cost an arm and a leg
Will next update will be more productive..

 

That sir, is an absolute, without doubt, masterpiece of engineering!

true labour of love that is stunning, with the best still to come, no doubt!

gladly seeking more work

 

I like this very nice bit of kit mate keep at it

 

This is fucking epic. Amazing work!

Any chance of a couple pics of the Splitscreen?

 

ive already asked about this too

funny, i was at one of my centres last week to do a diag on some modern shitbox, and in for MOT work (front slave cyl and shoes) was a red/white splittie, i nearly pissed myself lol

stunning bit of kit, funny thing was, the splitty was in the car park next to a F430 spyder, everyone was crowded round the splitty

 

cheers guys, feedback means alot and makes it all worth while

Here are a few pics of the splitty

 

OH MY that is fooking lush, just made a mess in my pants (nice feeling though)

 

As above ^^ Even the splitty is the bollocks! Well impressed

Keep the updates coming!

 

small update, went shopping today, this should now be everything i need to finish plumbing in the dry sump system....word of advice, never do a dry sump system!




more updates to follow, just waiting on the brake lines and seat to install

 

thats alota fittings !

 

I love aero quip mmmmmm

 

Sweet split screen

We had one as a wedding car at my twin sisters wedding

 

brief update, had another small delivery, this is everything for the brake system until its up and running and put disks on the rear.


Started running the aeroquip hose for the dry sump system. The socketless fittings are hard to get on but i found if you put the ends in hot water, they then go over a treat. The fittings from torques seem spot on, and their service is great will be getting all the fuel fittings from them too





Also started modifying the fuel rail and sorting out fueling.
Im modifying the fuel tank and adding an extra one so will be running twin tanks.





Also waiting on my seats, i went for the cobra historic type in the end (not the colour)

 

good to see more updates cracking build hats off to you .Neil

 

here we go again...

Oil system is now pretty much finished











Finished all the brake lines, full stainless steel front to back. Will get photos of underneath at somepoint.

Also have redesigned my pedal box, more photos to follow,



Had all my fuel fittings delivered this evening, this is everything except the fuel regulator which is on its way from Japan



2 ltr swirl pot


Bosch 044 fuel pump, non return valve and high flow billet filter for some serious bhp


Chucked the second tank in for size, will get the new unions welded on this weekend along with the filler neck.


Oh and the seats, not bolted in just yet but they are really comfy and supportive..... if you can fit in them


Just want it finished now , but i can see the end so will plod away

 

Cracking job mate, it's a real credit to you! Can't wait to see it up and running.

 

Cracking work mate, only criticsm I have is that the oil container for the dry sump should as close to the engine as poss and not in the boot.
So either in the engine bay somewhere or tucked up in the passenger foot well

 

Thats amazing!

 

Just curious, as someone who knows very little about dry sumps, as to why this should be the case?

Not questioning your logic, I'd just like to learn why thats all

 

Mate its all to do with pumping force loss from the pump to the tank,

The tank should be as low as possible to help with centrifugal forces.

Also weight distribution, as the tank will help level the weight from the driver across the axle

 

Cheers.
Yeah thats as close as possible. Its way too big for underbonnet & soaking myself in hot oil if something happens, isn't really something i want to experience.
With the pump and size of hose im using ive been assured i will have no problems. Plus its only a small car so its really not that far, think about 2mtrs on that pipe run.

 

You can buy a seled fire proof container

 

This is amazing, the quality of the work is a lot better than most things Ive seen

 

amazing thread and lovely splitty! was brought up with them my old man was on of the first in the split screen owners club! keep the pics comeing

 

amazing build

 

Love this car the quality of the build is first class and just gets better and better

 

updates keep coming, been working over the bank holidays so not much progress but got abit done last sunday.

Work on the fuel tanks
sweated out the original oulets on both as i wont be using them as they are too small and im having the fuel lines inside.



Drilled the holes for the new outlets




As i dont want to cut the bodywork, the second tank will be filled from inside the boot. This has now been revised an am going to cut the shell to put the filler on the outside.



Just got to braze it all together now and spray them up.

Few random pics




Yesterday started running the fuel lines

 

awesome build and great fabrication work!

 

.


Such a cool car, i love the attention to detail, very impressive.

Have you got a link to the company that supplied the brake lines and fittings?????



Ginger

cheers guys.
The fuel and oil fittings are from Torques, and the brake fittings from rally design.

 

Oh so this has happened ...

plus

and

i think so can see whats coming...















muuuuuuch better
Just need another fuel cap and filler neck grommet now!

 

The twin fuel entry's look factory standard.

 

Fantastic build, you have very impressive skills and attention to detail.


Cheers,
Grant

 

 

this gets better and better everytime i look

 

aghh updates updates updates

crank sensor bracket purchased for the bargin of Ł10, ford wanted Ł70 plus vat




Had to modify the floor pan to fit the starter, all painted and fitted up now


Ordered all the silicone hoses thanks to Paul at Roose motorsport










JCS clips... not cheap





Now got to make the pipe between the intercooler and the inlet plenum



Sard fuel regulator from Japan





Finally manned up and ordered the ecu from Mark Shead @ M A Developments, vipec v88 just waiting for it to arrive.


Also had to get creative, made this thermostat housing to bring the hose out straight down the side of the block, lathe + block of ally and ta da

















Just resprayed the boot and floor pans where ive made modifications, now just need to finish off the fuel tanks and spray them then can refit all the fuel pump etc
That all for now, hopefully more to follow shortly,

 

ditch the inlet

coming on well!

looking forward to hearing this come on boost at a trackday

 

Awesome

What's left to do, off the top of your head?

 

Awsome build

Great attention to detail
