Mk1 Turbo Racer, never ending project.

Oo I have a small bore version waiting in the garage for the next time the head gasket goes...

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
VEMS + 12 PSI + Liquid Intercooler = Small Bore FUN!

Yes it's form there sc kit I think?

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

What better way to sweat last nights beer out, than to get into the man cave with a metre of fingers! Turn then tunes up and get some car stuff done!

I started with a easy job first.


Come out not To bad!


Then I finally got these alloy seat mounts finished, so I can get the pilot seat back in tomorrow.

Do love a good finger.

Boot lock looks great.

Could do a hole or two in the tongue of that boot catch - that's the heavy part.

Today was not a bad day in the cave!

I made some light bolts.



For this!



It's only taken me a year to work this!!



Then I added some new weight safety first!!



And to help out the next time its on the RR! And maybe for the AA truck lol.



Thanks for looking at my bone pics, simon

Looking good Simon!

Cool stuff, although I have to say I don't like the seat brackets one bit. These are essential safety items, I would think the likes of Sparco and Recaro doing 2K carbon seats would happily drill their customers some additional holes in the seat brackets if FIA rules allowed doing so....(?)

I think simon needs a _____ check of some kind, just struggling to find the right word lol. Anyhow it think it all looks good mate.

LOL!

In that case, I think a Tec-9 style rollcage would look the bomb!

Today has been a very productive day!!

I got up early and went down to the lock up, to start bolting bits to the rebuild eng, but having to nip back to the house to get bits, tools that I needed/ forgot 3 or4 times started to piss me off... sooooooooooo..



Adapt and over come!! I just bult it in the back of the landrover out side my house lol.

Here it is waiting for the post man to bring me some more light weight bits for it


Then I started lightning the gear linkage, and working on the performance of it, so it's more positive. I will get some pics up of all the mods I have done to it when I get 5mins.



Thanks simon.
