tttttada Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Going on the length of your bodies, you will be much better off getting an adaptor plate made up to fit them to the head, otherwise you might need to cut a rather large hole out of your bulkhead.JohnCheers John Yes, I may have to cut a hole in the bulkhead, but I prioritized ideal runner length. The total length (manifold, bodies, trumpets) is 228mm right now. Should be very close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttttada Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) New exhaust to lose weightCut the body a little to make room for the exhaust I ended up cutting out the entire trunk area and welded in a plate.

tttttada Posted May 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Awsome thread mate, love the colour, love the car.How did you get the arches so wide cheerssteThe front was made from fiber glass, then glued on (can't weld because the front fenders are aluminum) The rear arches were welded on.Now on to the updates......Spare tire section was cut out and flattened/welded.Rear arches were pushed out another 15mm because the tires were rubbing.I think they are now 45mm wider (each side) than stock.Front and rear viewRear diffuserI wasn't expecting much, but this thing produces tons of downforce.The downforce inspires confidence while entering corners at high speeds, but the car now understeers....... alot!I will try to counter this understeer with more downforce in the front.....perhaps a set of canards will do.This will be followed by a tweak to the suspension, ie damper overhaul (5th time lol)The center section is done, still trying different looks for the side section.I'm not sure I like the wires on the side.Also don't like the gap between the bumper..... will try another set.The bodywork will be completed this summer.In the meantime, the Jenvey ITB's will be installed.I don't have the funds for a built motor yet, so they will be fitted on the stock motor.Will try to update again in a month or two.Cheers, Tada Edited May 27, 2013 by tttttada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttttada Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Hi just a quick update...... 2013 was a slow year, just managed to get the rear diffuser done.And we fitted ITB'sIt wss to be expected, but I lost a bit of torque in the lower revs.... It is still a step in the right direction though.I will up the compression and get bigger cams along with cam pulleys.Should make a screamer for the latter half of 2014.Here is some footage of the track test, love how it sounds.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZpl416REkEWill post again, cheers.
