No the opposite...

I know you can do it by sight.. but nice to stick it all on and bolt it up know it is in the right place..

Simon

 

PS: I wouldn't be cheeky enough to ask to borrow one off you considering how often your engine is in and out.. and time scales for build etc etc..

 

Good stuff, i love it!

 

Did you put it on the scales?! thats a bohemouth!?! is it an alloy box/bell housing?

wonder if anyones gone the otherway to a small 4speed (ok it would make the car a little more undriveable day to day ) but could save weight

 

it weighs a lot..

it does have a bellhousing..

David

 

<cough>

will do some more tomorrow

 

Nice work David

RE your coil over needs, why don't you contact leda, show them this thread and go after a fat discount in exchange for some 'sticker' space on your wagon?. I'm sure it would suit them for future adverts, I can picture it now..."Chasing 200mph takes ultimate control", written above a nice action shot of your wagon.. might be worth a try?

Your old man looks like he's about to explode

Brilliant stuff David, I've never really went into the Projects pages but excellent work! Great photos.

It took me 5 years to rebuild my Mini which is a simple little car (with a Haynes manual).
How do you find the time????
You should get some of this stuff into a magazine, better than most of the crap that makes it into print and is all being done as a home build, not some 'money no object' project that is published. How do you do it without a workshop manual?

Keep up the good work, proof of how good the Scoobynet is!!

How far away are you from putting it on the road?

 

As usual excellent stuff, keep up the good work david. Cant wait to the see the final product.

 

A few weeks away from putting it on the road..

David

 

Nice work this is the first time I have ever been into projects I bet you can't wait to get it back on the road and drive it again.

Paul

 

Cannot afford to drive it when its done though..

Must do more overtime to fund it.. just dont have the time to do any at the moment..

Propshaft has been done and balanced.. run out is to less than 1 thou.. factory is 3 thou apparently..

David

 

 

propshaft is done.. will try and collect it tomorrow.

 

didnt collect propshaft.. and fooking hate exhausts..

Have drilled stainless flange for turbo.. fed up of looking at bits of pipe though..

David

 

David

 

better pics of exhaust to come..

David

 

Got the gasket for you, can drop it off around 12 ish

Steven

 

That isn't an exhaust, it's an experimental art form...

 

Just a thought, but has anyone looked into barrel throttle bodies on a scoob to replace the standard butterfly? I can't see fly by wire giving any real benefit if it's controlling the same butterfly...

Got to be good for airflow, hasn't it?

 

is in roller style throttle bodys??? we discussed them on 22b..

four throttlebodys would / will be better.

What gasket?

David
