gutted for you taz Sad

How come its going to take so long to swap them?

Post subject: My RWD AX Cosworth! Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 08:21 AM

it took 2 months to get the wheels here in the first place, if i get the replacements back by the end of the month then ill be lucky. The final stages of the build are dependant on the wheels. Need to fabricate new arches to fit them and to make up a brake kit to fit as well.
Spraying was scheduled for Early June, so that will probably be July now, and i dont have the time in July to do anything with the car.

ARRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Post subject: My RWD AX Cosworth! Posted: Fri May 11, 2007 09:42 AM

Okidoki,

Heres a brief history:

I first bought the AX a couple of years ago with the intention of upgrading the performance and chassis to use her for track days.

The previous owner used it for sprints and hillclimbs and was quite competitive.

The best time I got at the strip was 16..6secs with all the interior.

That was with full interior and the all alloy 1.4 citroen engine with a 38DGAS carb on it!

Heres the power curve for the engine at that time:

This engine was sold shortly afterwards and a newer 1.6 16V engine from a peugeout 106 was bought pushing out about 120 bhp. Then the strippage began!

Engine went in pretty easily:

I started tarting her up a bit inside:

I then snapped this up at a price i couldnt refuse:

Its a Rotrex Centrifugal Supercharger, works in a simialr way to a turbo with impellors etc but is driven off the crankshaft pulley. This ones rated at about 2bar absolute, not bad for the 1600cc motor. Should be seeing near 250 bhp with that set up.

I concentrated on getting the car ready for the French Car show and MOT'd so I could drive her there. It was a tight deadline but mission accomplished:

After this i episode i decided that the shell was not strong enough to take the extra power of the supercharger and decided some shell strengthening was in order.

I was recommended this place from a mate of mine who was giving me some info on mapping my engine:

The car was stripped and ready for the spaceframing:

They came and took the car last october along with a deposit to get measuring up and ordering a few bits and peices.
