Full marks to Scott - Yes it's off Pepe's Nova - I've not seen any recent progress pictures of his nova - I don't know if he'll ever finish it !!!!! - (A Bit like mine really :roll: !!)

His engine is running a dry sump system so Oil is filled via a dry sump tank

Sorry about thread hijack :wink:


Dave

[Stuart]

id assume from the stupidly pontless extent pepe went to its dry sumped...
imo looks horrid but cant fault the quality of work there

[scott.parker]

In that pic it look as if he has had some adjustable tie bars made (look like track rod style adjustment) humm :)

Also seing that manifold is making me feel sick,i need to get that BTB one fitted to mine and the car mapped asap. :roll:

Scott

[Stuart]

looks like the "std" rally tie bar mod Ive gone a slightly different route (buts its probably got a huge flaw in it but meh ill discover that when we get there.

damn it dave replied before me lol

[leebo]

I know its a bit off topic but whats the advantage to havin the ajustable tie bar on ur mans car? (i want to learn lol)

[Stuart]

adjustable castor is achieved.... for those who wish to play about with that

[leebo]

Cheers but whats that exacly?

[Stuart]

start a new thread / google it ;)

[dan16v]

I asked the very same thing :wink: :lol:

Scott

[Ben]

I was told that it had the "Proper" touring car engine ie reversed inlet and oulet, nice to see its still about.

[dan16v]

still love it! love the engine bay! one thing id love to go and rip off though! that dam spoiler!

[RJM25R]

That rear spoiler is w a n k

[jbowman]

That rear spoiler is w a n k

Ditto.

The custard cream rocker made me laugh, but strangly peckish.

Gault I like your rocker cover, its one of those features that just catch you eye when you walk past an open bonnet at a show in the summer.

[RJM25R]

what about this?

[dannyb]

Dan, your rocker cover is subtle and works really well, it compliments your nicely detailed engine bay too. Leave well alone!!

[jbowman]

Rule Britannia! Thats what I would like. Jap cars have done it enough with the rising sun why cant we miss out on the pride.

[beavy69]

what do you mean the inlet and outlet is reversed on the touring car/racing engine?

[projectcoshanova]

when i saw the firt pic i feltlike singing night fever what the hell is wrong with me lol

[thirdeyeblindman]

i saw it in the flesh.. it looks even better, the guy that painted it did a ferring of my R1 yamaha a couple of years ago and his work is unreal... till i dropped it on aslippy white line!!!

now i have an evo instead as im getting too old for 2 wheels
