Nice one Polo, She looks like a nice example. Please don't put a huge wing on this one though, low and wide for this

Cheers Dan, should give me a few challenges for sureOriginally Posted by Dan@DB-Power
Saw the car yesterday at Polo's and the plan he has is just epic
Best of luck with it mate
Dan
Funny enough, its the only thing on the car iv had two people interested in so far.
Yea only thing staying inside is the dash. Plan on having it done and ready for testing by end of feb latest, so iv got about 5 months.From the cage design I don't think much of the interior will be left
This does look epicHow long do you reckon it will take to finish?

Lol, there is plans for the bigest wing yet!!! Its going to be totaly custom as you cant buy a blade the size i want, I think big wings have had thier time. This would look so much better without a big wing on it.
how high you going with it
how high you going with it
Not very high, but BIG, best way to describe the look is like a wing you get on a RC car, that sort of scale
Like this kind of wing? That would look cool actuallyNot very high, but BIG, best way to describe the look is like a wing you get on a RC car, that sort of scale
Ah right, gotcha. That will look sweet
Been busy stripping and shopping today
As usual, a hell of alot of crap came out weighing a ton!!!!!
Awsome project mate, really looking forward to following this build! Good luck!
Time for updates, lots done, il let the pics do the talking as norm.
The 2j got stripped some more, ready for new shiney manifolds
cheapy cheap ebay fuel rail, will be getting modified for two feeds and one return in the centre.
Stripped out the front end, this is fibre glass, its the slam panel, holds the rad, lights bumper, etc etc etc, nice and light also prety strong.
See how clean it is
2j front sump, seing whats the best option
Front sump defo the better option, so on it went
Then time for trial fit, its resting on wood ATM, im going to try get it back 2 inch and down 1.
as is its about 4 inch forword of where the vq sat
Fair play mate no hanging about here!
Lots of lovley sound deadening to get out though
That 2j looks lost in there compared to the old engine!
Very cool project.. looks like you will struggle getting it further back unless you mod the sump. Cood look.. i am probably one of the only people that actually likes this car... Really hate the look of the front but there is a fair bit that can be done.. The rear is very cool and modern.. I actually like the inside as well...
The girlfriend will be doing getting that crap off lol.Fair play mate no hanging about here!

The engine only looks lost as it's got no manifolds or turbo.
Yea il be nodding the sump alright, maybe the subframe.
Some one just pointed out on another forum that while doing all this my arm is in a cast lol
Awesome work so far mate, your really cracking on with this already and with one arm! lol
Cheers Aj
love it, seing as though the engine must be a lot longer 4 inches further forward is sod all.
ok time for an update, not a very big one as iv been so busy with work etc.
Some parts hve been ariving, inlet manifold with 80mm throttle but damaged in the fecking post!!
Back to the car, engine was sitting in but not happy with where its was and obv there is a hell of alot of junk that still needed stripping out
so out came tons of un-needed stuff
engine back out and more stripping and cutting to get the engine back in the car more
Then started the task of getting the dash, heater box and wire loom out, that lot weighs a ton!!
Then i had all the windows taken out ready for the cage
Jesus this seems to be coming along nice and quick
The last time i glanced at this thread a few weeks back you didnt evan have a car. Keep it up
Ugly cars though, but i bet its going to look/sound mean as hell when its low and wide with the Tamiya rear spoiler
Engine seems to sit nice and low too
I like it!!
I actually quite like the shape too.... i don't know where all this ugly stuff is coming from?
Polo, you legend, you sure as hell don't like to hang around do you.
How much weight do you think you've got out of the car?
