Maybe something like this (should be IVA OK):
![]() It's 35-36cm D&W steering wheel made by MOMO - with standard MOMO bolt pattern under "soft" horn button. I couldn't find it at Ebay, but maybe worth to try. Or: ![]() ![]() |
What about picking up a westfield wheel, there small enough and iva friendly.
i've got a poxy wine colored one for iva. Picked it up cheap cause of its color. |
Great ideas on the wheels guys! Will look into getting a westfield wheel.
Just went to install the exhaust manifold and broke off another stud on the last nut! FUUUUUUUUUUUUU......................... These standard nissan studs are made of butter. |
Quick photshop of what i want the car to look like when its done....

starting to look the dogs Alex keep it up cos I cannot wait to hear what it sounds like.

Column wiring done ignition works and turns things on. Starter relay ticks so that's a great sign! Flasher relay not installed so cant test indicators. Lots of stuff does not work but then again most of the car is not wired heh.

Comming together,
where was the loom from? I am going to build my own from left over sierra/granada/scorpio plugs and wiring sections... TT |
Is that a "T" in your front brake line? If it is I don't think that's allowable. Is there not a requirement to have separate lines from the master cylinder to each front wheel? I may be incorrect.

:eek: Looking beautiful mate.

My god...:eek: :eek:
That's a tight fit, did you have to use Vaseline..:D Credit where credits due that is one serious car you gonna have on your hands. Any idea of how many BHP you going to get from that beasty? |

TT |
Its going to be a bit of an animal.
As for BHP im going to detune it for IVA to around 200bhp but in normal tune i expect around 300. Cant do much more than that unless i swap out the turbo but the block is good for way more. Was fun fitting it by myself! Tell you what it was a bit tight at times and only scratched the paint work once lol |
Beast:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
And it would be a lot cooler than that but four is your lot on here still. Bob |
Went to Japfest this weekend and saw some mad cars but also got my ass in gear and ordered all my silicon hoses, ss mikalor clamps and ally pipes for the intake system. £120 later and i should have a sweet looking system when it arrives. Think I'm going to have to get a nice new HKS SSQV bov to match heh.
Will take some pics and upload them on Thu night when all the bits have arrived. Oh also an update on the engine. I managed to get it running way smoother still have a long way to go but here is a vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI8zX7kzolo&t=5m35s |
Picked up a nice new HKS SSQV 4! :D

Its going to sound like a lazer blaster. :D
Cheers Stot |
Is this build dead now????:confused:
|
Not dead I'm still here and still building will have an update for you soon! Chassis wiring loom completed now working on ECU stuff.
|
I look forwards to seeing the updates!
|
Chassis wiring completed and tested. Few little bits to do but well on its way! Engine loom has been stripped down and all non essential plugs and wires have been removed. Getting ready to reroute it and make the connections to the body loom then it should all be more or less sorted. Will need to mount the skuttle and firewall then can start to mount stuff. Anyhow here is a little pic of it atm!

update to follow!

Protech shocks! Big thanks to my sponsor Kevin over at Protech for the custom made and colored shocks!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
looks awesome and those shocks are something else, keep us updated :)
|
Good to see you back :)
Small steps but it's progress :) TT |
YouTube
Good to see you back building again. Are you going to post any more YouTube updates soon? I used to enjoy watching those. David
|
I must say I am looking forward to seeing this progress. I think I started to build my chassis around the same time and then I stopped for a few year because of having kids. I also second the you tube bit I did quite like watching your progress

More panel work! New YouTube video will be uploaded in the next 24 hours just waiting for some video rendering to be done for the intro!

I'm back!
Still alive and making slow progress but just wanted to say I will be on it again and trying to get it finished by xmas ready for the test at the start of 2018! |
Finally found the calipers I needed! Amazing how hard new Cosworth vented rear calipers are to find without costing £500+, Also found some new Jaguar X Type front calipers to fit 300mm disks wooooo! Cant wait to fit!
![]() |
The last of the caliper parts arrived back today!
Jaguar X-Type front calipers to go on ST170 300mm disks. Cosworth Scorpio vented rear calipers to go on 273mm rear disks. So hard to find all the parts but finally got there! It's going to be a busy summer with loads and loads of updates so keep an eye on the page and YouTube! I don't suppose any of you know the length of bolts used for the sierra calipers to the hub? I seem to have lost my originals! Doh! ![]() ![]() |
