Buggy Pics from the weekend.

Can't you get that dash flocked?

Looks awesome. Is that a K20 lump? Be interesting to see what sort of power it makes compared to the off-the-shelf superchargers that are available...

It's an F20C.

We could get the dash flocked yes, but that costs money Big Grin

Okay, whilst the driveshaft angles were still just within limits (moving the 'box forwards didn't help them), with the extra power/stress anticipated we had a bit of a question mark over the longevity of the CV joints, they get pretty hot from the transmission loss as it is.

Anyway, after a few weeks thinking about it, we bit the bullet and decided to go with longer driveshafts to reduce the angles. Of course, that means moving the outer CV joint outwards to suit, and the car is already as wide as we can practically go at the rear that becomes a bit more difficult, so, cue shiny bits:

Whacking great spindle/hub that's large enough to pass the CV joint right through, with ally upright to bolt to the rear trailing arms, of course, that means we can't drive the discs off the rear of the spindle any more (The bearing preload nut is there now) hence the ally brake bell instead of bolting them to the rear of the hubs as presently.
The CV then bolts up to a machined drive ring that is clamped down on by the wheel:

Although, I'm not sure whether to just ditch that and drill the wheels to bolt the the CV's directly to them - we've never broken a wheel yet so I think it'd be okay - just makes wheel changes more of a hassle.

It's not very good over large flat area's without having the electrostatic charge applied, never looks right.

Besides, a tin of matt black spray is a quid Big Grin

You know how I said the dry sump tank had to go in a really bad place because there was nowhere else for it?
Well, here's praying we don't get too much of a love-tap up the arse:

And the worst part of all builds, just when you think you're nearly done, Jenks comes along and steals everything.

Fairies have been in while I sat on a beach with a pint, apparently they do panelwork, who knew?

[Image: 20130603_184319.jpg]

[Image: 20130603_184402.jpg]

as you could guess from the header tank locations, space is getting kinda tight now, and there's still some more plumbing and fibreglass/ally heatshielding to go in yet, never mind the dampers and panelwork going on...

Bit of framework to make it easier to shape the rear bonnet/scoops, yeah, you know how I said the engine bay was quite tightly packed? Big Grin

ooow is that 8 injectors i see there?
you mapping the second set in on high flow with the first set for better torque and the first set for bottom end?

Low rpms/idle on the first set, gradually switches to second set in the midrange until it runs out of injector duration, then it blends both sets together just to get enough fuel in there at the top end.

excellent i helped map a 205 set up like this i will see if i can find a picture

It's running the stock injectors (Bosch EV14 type) as the first set, which have very good atomisation even at low durations, so ideal for the bottom end (in fact, theoretically it'd go through emissions for an MOT even with the blower and no cat, although I'm not so sure about the rest of the car), then the outer set are the high flow shower-type from the RX-8.
There should be just about enough flow to hit 500 at the crank.

Having said that, I just ran a few quick simulations with the full 500 and it's not much faster than with 350bhp, not unless we can get very fancy with the rear suspension/tyre setup.

I'm pretty sure still spinning the rear wheels in top gear at 130mph is not conductive to good health.

Getting there with the rear arms, Ed finished a jig and tacked up one side just to double check clearances:

And new rear discs, same weight as the old ones but 320mm diameter instead of 300mm.
