that is a very tidy build indeed:)

One of the finest car I've seen. Congrats Steve!

And with a DOHC... hum... I could use some tips from you :rolleyes:

Any build diary or blog, where we could see more details (like engine fitting and height, ground clearance, shorten sump...) and what bodywork brand did you use? The inlet manifold seems to fit OK under this bonnet with a bulge? I would like to know where it is from.

Thanks :)

Im with everyone else what an amazing build and really good to see someone using the DOHC (as thats what we have).

We have gone for the cut and tig weld with ours and it looks like it will fit nicely now. Only issue is a couple of the sensers now catch on each other.

I hope ours is 50% as good when done.

Congrats.

Looks great, where did you get your aero screen from?

Good looking car! What rear diffuser are you using?

Luke2842 23rd November 2013 10:19 AM

Thanks guys for the good comments.

Like Talon said, I needed to make a couple of brackets for the headlights so that the indicators were in the right place for the IVA.

The rear wing protectors and aeroscreen are from carbon mods, and the rear diffuser is from GBS for the wide Zero - happens to fit really well.

The bodywork was from Saturn, but the inlet manifold was chopped and bonded back together with Chemical Metal to get it to fit under the scoop.

Sorry no blog but Loony's link shows all of the build photos - thanks Lucas.

The transmission tunnel was made out of MDF and bendy ply, before I covered it in foam and a carbon like fabric - it slots down over the transmission tunnel.

Your car looks stunning, you must very proud of such a high quality and well finished build.

How are you enjoying driving it?

Where did you get your carbon fibre exhaust can from? And did you have any issues with it for IVA?

Cheers,

Bill

looks excellent! congratulations on the pass

Luke2842 27th November 2013 07:56 PM

Thanks guys, the exhaust can was from Westfields got a good discount at one of the shows - no IVA issues with it.
