rads not on a slant.. the grill is.. which I need to make another bracket for but its kind of bottom of a long list to get the car built.

Might line them but prob not

Simon

 

the inlet manifold looks awesome..... is it powder coated to look that bling ??

 

Painted.

Pc didnt have anything colourwise I fancied

 

Mint that si. What was the parts like to get for the engine like valves and camshafts.

 

valves no problem.. rest.. dont ask

 

Lol take that as bad im struggling for v3-4 gear never mind a 6 cylinder beast

 

Cams were custom made from billet and took forever to do.

valves and springs and titanium retainers were to bad to get hold of etc.

Simon

 

Massive thanks to Cj and Justin for helping out today.

Fuel tank repositioned and bolted down now
Fuel tank filler mounted
Fuel filter mounted in engine bay
Fuel feed line run under the car but not clipped in place yet
One manifold and turbo and downpipe fitted
Radiator removed and modified to move pipe connections to take oe hoses
Bumper and lights out as going to fit morrettes I have at home to aid intercooler pipe runs
Rear bulkhead now fitted and parcel shelf fitted
Rear side windows secured and ready for 180+mph lol
Holes in the bulkhead filled
Throttle body fitted for mocking up.
Plus loads of other bits I have forgotten about
Very happy with progress and lots of stuff also planned







Simon

 

Looking very good and totally different to anything I have ever seen before

Keep up the good work

 

sweeeeeeet......

 

What turbo is currently fitted Si? Looks like a VF series turbo

 

Thanks guys.

Its a vf22

 

looks very good, just sat and read all 19 pages at work (bored) lol
good look with it mate

 

Will you stick with VF22's?

What's your target weight?

 

thanks

 

No only for mocking up.

I would like to be 11stone again but just 12 something would be nice.

But the curry I ate last night really didnt help

 

Keeping tight lipped eh? Can't give away all your secrets

I've never been to any SSO or 30-130 etc but once this is ready, i think i'm going to make the trips to see this in action once it's done

 

Fear not Mr Monster. Let the curry do its "stuff" and it will flush you back down to 11 stone in a day or two, no worries.....

 

...Plus added 'wind power' to help the brace'o'VF22s along...

 

Coming along nicely now Si

 

looking ace! living up to the monster name

 

what are your plans for the underside? heres what my old classic looked like for an idea.

 

Its a race car. I am not going to paint or powder coat everything to make it heavier.

The main aim is to go fast not look pretty, on that line the inlet manifold maybe going.

I am even concious that had I bought a shell and not had it sprayed it would be lighter!

Simon

 

just read the whole thing,your car is stunning,credit to you

 

It wouldn't be the jolly green monster without that kawasaki green so having the shell painted was more than justified IMO

That manifold looks pretty heavy, surely a custom made one is on the cards

 

looking good si , id take the guy out of the back though if you want to lose weight

 

Few changes, for ease and speed of being finished.

Manifold changed and altered radiator fitted, ps pump mock fitment


Stevenson motorsport ecu loom arrived


Morrettes painted and test fitted, intercooler pipework made from bits I had laying around so can be used to plan real pipework.




Simon

 

Looking awesome Simon, what's the planned completion date?

 

asap

waiting of a few parts so I can finish this mock up and again waiting on more parts to complete the proper engine.. then gearbox out, engine out, proper engine in and build it up.

just waiting on those parts and then time to do it.

If parts I am waiting on arrive this week then a chance it might be a nice christmas present for me to hear the engine run for the first time.

Simon

 

This is gonna be awesome when its finished. Hope you're gonna post a vid of the first fire up for us all to hear Why the manifold change? I'm assuming because of pipe routing issues...... Thats a lot of i/c pipework you have there
I can't help but think, though, you should have painted the morrettes black and complimented them with black crystal sidelights......
