cheers more on saturday when i pick up my engine

 

well quickly welded a bar at the very back of the chassis legs. just need to turn the metal that hangs down from the back around

 

 

just got back from a 4 and a half hour round trip for my ej 2.2 well worth it

 

 

UPDATE



6 hour round trip and a tobys carvery ended up with these v4 sti heads






then stone chipped arches and undernieth






welded in extra door bars to cage

 

The rest of door bars on



Started to stitch front end and adding strengh



White subframe

 

Never got it rolling but started with me heads

Valve spring commpressor in place




Compressed to access retainters




Tool I use to get retainers basically a little magnet



Retainers out there two like horse shoes



Then all you haft to do is push the valve back through,

Ending up with all this on one head




Then finished off with a blow through and boxed ready for engineer to work his madgic

 

striped the heads for 14mm head stud converion, o ring conversion, port and polish and to get some new valves and double springs, off to the engineer in 2 weeks

 

diff skid plate quickly knocked up





started on my bumpers

 

Whats the logic with drilling holes in the bumpers? weight saving?
Who is building your engine?

 

ive done it for weight and airflow

 

i will be building the engine along with a mate

 

Subscribed buddy, keep it up

 

cheers starting rear diffuser friday so keep an eye out

 

Interesting project but i don't understand the holes in the front and rear bumpers, also is it me but thr holes don't even look even or is that just the camera angle

Good luck. Will be following

 

your right they dont look even but defo are shopfitter by day, so there pritty perfect there is one out by my joiners eye though lol,


ive seen other cars with it done and though it looked good but after doining it probs for air flow on the front to keep things cool and to lighting back bumper on the back, om trying to make the car look diff aswel. cheers

 

got my engine back to my place, try and get it ready for spray. im just going to laquar it as i like the metal look, as you can imangine an engine found in a barn it was black im chuffed with how ive got it

 

exhaust needs welding in right place and diffuser wings need putting on

 

 

ally tank anyone know where i can get braided lines from alot of it

I'm curious as to what you're hoping to achieve with these bars on the front end?

 

ive done it for strengh daz probs not do much but every bit helps ive got the back of the strut top to bulk head just trying to give the legs some surrport in a bump or twist

 

I see your logic but I think all you've done there is added extra weight.

I'm no expert by any means but even the WRC cars start Strengthening work (seam welding etc) from the front strut towers backwards.

The front wants to be able to absorb any impacts not be resistant to them.

Not criticising btw just trying to be constructive

 

yeh your right daz probs have done it the wrong way round will be ok in a litte bump but if im going to have a big one i dont think anything i will do will help the car, i mite save my engine with these bars in lol probs not though, i need some advice on my heads though if you want to help out

 

More than happy to mate, feel free to pm.

 

cheers see pm tomorrow

 

Coming on well mate!

 

Looking good! Where do you get the skills from fella to attempt this?
