What's new ?

Funk me,

That looks mental, going to be something special when its done Very Happy

fuckin spunk worthy!

awesome taz!

Does look fantastic that like.

The front of the car is going to look fucking great with the wide arches. best type of arches to do IMHO, rather than maxi type bubble arches.

rear arches could only be done on something as mad as that tbh !! Razz

Looking forward to seeing this taz, need any help i'll come down give you a hand for beer & food Very Happy

Fab work isnt as much as i thought it would be btw ^
For what it is, could have baught an Escort cossie, however this is somewhat 'different' Razz

Certainly caught my attention, what with myself being a cossie boy at heart.

does seem to be a shame now your getting so close to completion - but soldier on mate.

any helping hand you need then gladly ask.

have you sorted out the engine electrics, i know a guy who makes pectel looms for the cossies, and hes very reasonable aswell, ive had a couple of his looms now and his work is tip top.

is the compression on your engine really at 8.1:0?
and is the T38 defineatly a Turbo Dynamics, i thought there was only a Turbo Technics and a Universal Turbo's variant of the T38!?
and if supplied by A1 then id guess at it being a UT T38 supplied directly from Vince.

will be an awesome spec tho, Steve Scott built my old engine, on a UT T38 on greys, airs and a comp of 7.6:1, was making 36psi of boost at 3300rpm and held 32psi.

good luck with it all, and should be good to see when its completed.

Yep using standard c/r so 8:1 i believe. Not sure if it is a turbodynamics, but its running siemen blacks. The L8 has been chipped by Steve and its still got the original loom. I guess ill use the existing one for now to get it up and running and if i wanna change to a standalone ill go for a new loom then.

It was ellicos's old engine in his white 3-door. think he said it was 400bhp and 420lbft or about that!

Should be quite pokey in a car that weighs less than 900kgs!

List of things to do:

1) Fit copper brake lines, flexis and bleed brakes
2) Fit fuel lines, pump and filter - gravity fed pump at the mo, might go for a seperate swirl pot though.
3) Fit header tank, oil seperator, dizzy cap, leads
4) Wiring up dash, engine, all electrics like my twin 12s and 3 amps Razz

5) Interior needs to be fitted
6) Bonnet needs painting and making brakets for locks
7) Make new rear bumper
Cool
