[Stuart]

cant beat braided hose throughout, makes things a lot simpler for routing :D

[TommySR]

very smart mate

[Stoo]

Good for routing however nowhere near as well performing as solid pipes!!

Coming on well buddy!! Looks faptastic!!

[Stuart]

not really. unless your somehow putting more pressure than the pipes should handle then the lines wont really "bulge" that much compared to solid and gash rubber links.

the teflon liner is as thick if not thicker than the walls of the copper, and then there is the close weave steel overbraid which is a complete bitch to try and get to expand... all in i dont think there is a tangable difference for us mere fast road users. Maybe an F1 driver would notice lol

[Stoo]

fair point!!

Thats just my 2ps worth tho lol!!from what i was told by a certain high profile driver!!

[craig green]

Looks really good Ric
I envy your progress, I bet you have a nice garage to be getting on in?

Love the under rear beam shot too. Most inspiring. Will the gear selector have a gaitor or be exposed?

[Adam]

Looking great mate,keep the work up.

[craig green]

Is that copper fuel pipes running accross the floor under your seat??

[peester]

[Phil GTE]

I've got a garage, car fits in but ain't any room to work on it gotta roll it out on to the driveway !!
Gear selector is just staying as it is.



Is that copper fuel pipes running accross the floor under your seat??
Yeah it is, 8mm copper pipe only cost about ?3 !!

Hubs, stubs axles & discs are from a V6 Vectra, Calipers are from a Calibra Turbo.
Got the discs from Rally Design ( www.raldes.co.uk (http://www.raldes.co.uk) ) quiet reasonably priced as well.

barkeybooster (http://www.novaload.net/forum/member.php?u=13776), its the bar that connects the brake pedal to the servo, take it yours is left hand drive & doesn't have this ?

Rich

[letvalva]

its for the brakes as the left had drive one are on the same side as the servo . thats why you wont have seen one

[barkeybooster]

nope, we dont have those constructions lol we just put our brake pedal to the left side . . . behind the servo, much easier. ;)

[benji]

looking good, shame about the colour.

[Jamied]

looks great!!

[craig green]

[Adam]

Awesome.

You look to have done a very good job of hiding the engine wiring too, nice :thumb:

[ade]

to quote Waynes World

shhhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn nngggggggggggg!

Love it!

It the front centre slam panel bolted in place or rivetted?

[scott.parker]

Dose look spankingly spunky....

Very nice,i wish i could have the time and put the efert into mine like that.

And ade mate im guessing there bolts so it can be removed to get in from the front.

Scott

[Ste L]

makes access to the turbo easy as scott said, can get to the front of the engine, when its removed

[c'2.0lrt]

perfect that is mate.
