Dave the Cake

Getting excited now!



Did the work myself



Just got to pick up a thicker idler thrust washer Thursday and I'll bolt the gearbox to it at the weekend. And hopefully chuck it in the subframe!

N Andy has it wrong that shade of green is Defo the "Go Faster" type...

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

A random selection of bits a had floating around transformed into a oil seal press!

Currently doing some work on it. Real live updates here lol

Dave the Cake

Hopefully gunna crack on this week and get lots bolted on!

Dave the Cake

Cracking project and good use if air tool spanners 😃

Seat mounts bolted to a box section frame welded from the seal to centre tunnel.



Boom

Dave the Cake

The funny shapes cut out where the seat bolts too, are 3 different positions, straight, then rotated 1degree then moved back 10mm.

Thanks for all the comments chaps! Really keeps the motivation up!

Well spotted star mag! Lol

Would have put it in if i had someone to help me lift it!

Dave the Cake

Looking good.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Coming along nicely, mate. Keep up the great work.

Life is always a matter of opinion and quite frankly, no ones opinion really matters.

Engines in! Mocked up clearance between bulkhead, gunna have to rake the engine forward 10mm which will give me about an inch clearance which should be plenty right?



Think I have a winner for a cooler!! Side mount off a Nissan 200sx s14

Planning on having an intake and funnel from the bonnet and a outtake out the side of the wing so the air should flow through it nicely!!

Dave the Cake

looking really good cake, whats next?

That cooler looks like it was made for the job, nice work mate.

Lasercut some brackets








Used a modified mini engine top hat for the mk1 golf radiator to sit in

Got a temperature switch for a fan that screws I to the rad nicely

Also bled the rts clutch and fuck me it's a heavy pedal.

I have a feeling I used the heaviest springs, 2.5mm each? How thick are the thinner ones as I'm gunna have to mod it

Dave the Cake

That golf rad looks like a perfect fit! Car looks great

The RTS should get softer with some use. Give the pedal a good few presses whole its not running.

In the 13's at last!.. Just

yeah my RTS was rediculus at first, in fact i thought somthing in the linkage would break, give it some use without the engine running and it should lighten up a fair bit.

if you still dont get on with it look at lengthening the clutch arm, I'm using the cable style arm (about 1/3 longer) and its really nice.
