Ell Diablo - Hydraulic Clutch In

[sam]

That noise is insane!! Manifold looks spot on

[Grant]

Cheers dude

Just ordered a new badge, the old one looked a bit shabby in comparison.


£2 for a domed gel one. Bargainz!

[Just Sean]

is that a 306? or a 205? Maybe a 206... or a 305? or

[Grant]

I think its a 306. Or a bit of one haha

[sam]

Wanna paint my manifold

[Grant]

If you deliver it to my door with a 4 pack of stella then yeah

Or bring it to ace you lazy f*ck

[silverzx]

All of the want!

Whats powering that?

[Piggy]

so is the v8 fitted yet

---

oh and its a 205 with 306 front end with 4wd, mid engine, t16

[Rippthrough]

It's not T16, it's a triple-rotor engine based on RX7 motors, I've got the engine picture somewhere his missus sent me.

edit:

[Grant]

Not the kind of picture I was expecting when you said his missus sent it

[Grant]

So no major progress. Painted my air filter to match the rest of the purple, because I am a tart.

Probably going to get ear ache from the kitchen wench when she returns





Plan for the next week or so is to fit the TRE's that are staring me in the face, use aero catches to mount the front bumper and fit brake cooling ductwork from the fog blanks.

is that a 306? or a 205? Maybe a 206... or a 305? or

I thought this, as it launched off the line, i was all like "wtf?!"....looks like a 306 from the front, but a 205 from behind!

[Pompey306mark]

Looks 205 with 306 head lights.

[Rippthrough]

Looks 205 with 306 head lights.

And 306 ice racing arches, front and rear, and 306 ice racing front bumper/grill.

I'm keeping that one!

[Grant]

So a rather good day today

Managed to pick all these up from halfords for the grand sum of........... £24.50 haha



Made a start on cleaning up the subframe for seam welding. Disgustingly filthy!


And found these at work Unior 461's




Good day today

[floz123]

Part of the seam welded subframe

[Grant]

Awesome stuff, cheers for posting dude

Got a finished pic? :p

[Tom]

Does that actually make a difference? Surely that big lump of steel doesnt flex much? Not being negative just curious :p

[ginge191]

Is this actually being made into a v8 project?! I've not read much because as soon as I see ripp talking I feel inadequate !

Some awesome info though!

[Niall]

Tom you would be surprised how much they flex!

[Piggy]

If I had a spare subframe I would do that...

i was planning on it but time restraints said no.

There is a stupid amount of gaps in the subframe and a scarey amount of gaps!!

[Niall]

They are more than adequate as standard but welding it along with a front brace and it will handle so well

[Grant]

What Niall said. They are only spot welded together. Well I say only. It will stay in one piece fine enough. This dramatically reduces the flex up front as it largely contributes to holding the front chassis legs still during load

[Dum-Dum]

I saw someone a while back welding a few lengths of cut up ARB or TB to the legs of the sub frame that go up to the front mounting points to strengthen them up and further reduce flex.

[Tom]

Totally missed the spanner update, was that just with a trade card?

[Piggy]

So wheres the v8 at?

[floz123]

In my car waiting for him to buy it you know you want it Grant :p

[Grant]

Totally missed the spanner update, was that just with a trade card?

They're end of line. Discontinued, so reduced to £3, plus my staff discount bought them down further :p

In my car waiting for him to buy it you know you want it Grant :p

I actually hate this guy. He is always tempting me to spend my money. He knows my soft spots. You should've been a used car salesman haha.

It is a f*cking lovely motor. I have no chance of summoning that money though lol

[Tom]

Well they were worth buying lol!

[Dum-Dum]

You have staff discount at halfords? I thought you worked on a caravan site or summat or are you knobbing someone who works there?
