Hate to say it but I think that they have fitted the arches the wrong way, looks like the fronts are on the back. Would hate for it all to be together then have to be done again. The shape doesn't look right.

 

no THEY haven't fitted anything wrong because I fitted the arches and they are 100% correct front to bad and side to side etc..

Simon

 

Ok, just thought I'd mention it incase. Looks great though as I've said before.

 

Nursing a semi

 

Your wish was my command

 

I have to admit it looks fantastic, I think the only thing that can spoil it is graphics?? You must have some in mind ??
Pleased it will be running aat SSO even though it will have an under specced engine

 

it WONT be running at SSO.. I am planning to run my daily driver at SSO.. it was decided this should be built how intended first time, and I still have no cams for the engine.

Simon

 

still no cams, good not to rush things but waiting along time takes the pi55. sure your eager to see what the car feels like.

do you think the daily driver would do the handling course quicker at sso than the full spec track car

 

Could have had you a set 3 months ago Simon!!

 

yeah but piper were only going to take another 2weeks 3months ago

Simon

 

Yeah cheers mate, had a lot of fun with the anti lag, quest for more power is in place, will be in touch

 

looks like its coming along nicely

 

No problem.

V nice p1 yours

 

Thanks.

Fuel tank sorted


Thanks to jay for designing and commissioning it

 

What size fuel tank is that. Looks small Take it long distance trips are out

 

25litres..

planning to keep weight to a minimum.. it may have an extra removable tank added if I need more fuel.. but with no heater, little ventilation, plastic doors and windows.. etc etc
I think 80~100miles range on light throttle should surfice.. just carry a jerry can to top it up..

Simon

 

Any sign of your cams??

 

They are hoping to finish them by the end of the week.

They have finished turning them and started putting my chosen profile on and I presume then need to harden them.

 

This is good news Si, hopefully you may have them next week then.

 

Hi simon, have you any pics to help me fit my plastic windows into doors.

cheers lee

 

Any progress report???

 

Well on Friday ian and I removed the oe fuel tank.

I spoke to piper today and the cams have just finished the hardenning process so have to be ground or the grinding checked and then they are complete.

I have decided not to rush the car and so it will be complete when suits.

Currently I am away mapping in ireland and the car along with the workshop it is currently in are moving building/location later this week.

So hopefully all the parts of the jigsaw might start to come together over the next month or so

 

Good news on the cams, like you say no point rushing it and having to start again because something aint right.

 

Mini update.

Cams returned to piper - dont ask!

Fuel tank partially fitted

Not decided whether to mount pump and filters under boot floor or in boot yet


Dash partially fitted



Simon

 

Topjob mate

 

So what happened with the cams? What are you going to use for a rear bulk head?

 

Cams - changes required to profile.

I have a carbon bulk head and parcel shelf.

Woukd have fitted today but ran out of time.

Simon

 

Looking good Si. Id be tempted to house all of the fuel system in an ally box out of sight and protected.

 

ally box = extra weight

pump is very loud so under the car works noise wise and cooling wise..

easy to check for leaks too.. just look under the car.. in a box I would be worried about a leak and no noticing..

Simon

 

looks mint mate, could i ask where you got your pumps and filter from cheers
