Hello Mr jfry :wave:
My god - how big is that engine for 2.3L?
Looking like an interesting car coming together there. I like the way you've done the arches, particularly on the rear. Looking...
Ah, thats what the second actuator can is - I did wonder!
Block has actually been chemically dipped so is quite clean, just not painted yet.
similarly, sump is sandblasted ready to have the 'wings' designed and welded on, and then will be powdercoated.:)...
Not a bad idea! Thanks for the link.
richardg - yes. It was because it had to survive a winter in my old single block garage, so was bathed in condensation, and its conventional non waterproof...
We could play 'what's in the box?'......

Or maybe not:D

So the steady progress continues
I need to decide what to do with the front end - the inner arches, framework for the flip front and airdam etc. However, to do all this I kind of need to know how...
Not true. 360 and 430 and 458 all run front mounted rads.
The trick they use is to mount them in front of the wheels and actually vent again just in front of the wheels, the 458 actually over the...
Not sure yet? Better sort that situation out then and get spending.
More pics please.......:)
Ok, so definately time for a bit of an update.
As you know,I've been seriously slacking on the car building fromt for the last 2 years - houses, children, motorbikes and generally 'having a life'...
I'm liking the look of this - certainly a good start so far :thumbs:
Will be watching with interest :nod:
Yeah we've all seen these sort of projects stall and end up being sold in bits or just never getting finished, and I'd convinced myself that 'it wouldn't happen to me', and look what happened...
I know I know.....
Good luck with it by the way, even if it is a bit of a sellout ;)
You know, I'm starting to wonder myself......:(
Not given up, but just struggling to get anything useful done. Mostly I just have to keep pushing around it to get to things and do other stuff.
Didn't help that I decided to buy this for the...
If its just for MOT time then any type of cat will do, as long as its running around lambda 1 to 1.02 (so its oxidising) and the injectors aren't absolutely terrible for atomisation.
If you want...
Good to here there is some more progress on this :)
Do you really need a heater box? I'm guessing you only really want it for screen demisting, in which case the electric screen demister blowers...
Oooh tidy coil pack cover :)
C,mon then, time to get it on the rollers and see what all the hard work was for.:thumbs:
Wow. That's going to be a real handful on those tyres - good work :)
Any tuning plans for the engine or simply stock to start with?
Look forward to seeing it progress :nod:
lol you guys seem more excited about it than me :)
Well you'll be pleased to hear that although house still isn't finished, I have now started to split my time, and work on the car has started...
Eh, when what ....?
Totalled as in totalled? How did that happen then?
Still have't finished house, so still not allowed to move on to car.
Why haven't I finished house - errrr
Yes I am rubbish, and running out of excuses.....:(
Like Jeffers says, its a $hitty job, but someone has got to do it :cry::D
Anyway, enough about my hard life, this is about the PPS drift car! Having seen it in the flesh (and heard it running ;))...
looking :thumbs:
Good to see the beast out there doing what it was designed for :nod:
One thought on the oil pressure - looking at your log it looks like the problem starts past the apex as you are exiting the...
