View Full Version : my saloon (the next chapter)
for those of you that do and those of you that dont this is my previous project thread http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78659 . that was all about getting it ready for pv, which i managed as here it is on the camp site

and here on the stand

anywho enough of that crap, ive decided its being rebuilt again to be used as a track car. lots of things planned like
custom roll cage - done
polycarb windows - half done lol
as many fibreglass/carbon fibre panels as possible
fully adjustable suspension, including bottom arms and track control arms....
v6 engine with f20 box and lsd
and lots of other trick stuff
now i know that people are going to say the v6 is to heavy blah blah blah, i plan to prove wrong.
so far i have started stripping it down again!! and have already got my custom cage made and fitted. ive also started making my polycarb windows. anyway there will be lots of pics along the way to tell the story better.
so the first pic i have is very crap as it was taken in the dark but its a sneek peak at the cage

Plans sound good. I think a V6 in a saloon sounds pretty cool, there not a deal smaller than a cav and they work well in them!
Will be keeping my eye on this topic, Can't wait to see more pics.
Top work mate, sure looks like your cracking on with it.

nice pic, wonder who took that :cool: :cool: lol
also a v6 with flat fly and f20, probably weigh's the same as a Let & f28, so handling shouldn't be too bad :thumb:

V6 lump, very nice, love the colour, my first nova was a 1.3SR in that colour, saphire (sp) ? blue iirc very nice matey, sure i mind seeing that at P.V
iain
I thought about putting a V6 in my saloon, but then decided against it as I'm just too lazy to actually make it work well lol
Good to see it done though :D
sounds cool...keep us posted...v6 :O....hope it will be ready for pv next year?

looks well smart for what it is;)
thanks for all the comments there will b a big update this weekend as ill get cracking on it properly then. and to answer some people
Ste L - i figure if i use a 5kg flat type fly wheel along with ditching all the standard inlet and all the extra crap it doesnt need to run then i should be able to get the weight down to an acceptable level.
trackdaynova - i know the pics are shocking but my camera is broke, my mums camera's flash doesnt work properly and my fone camera is ****e, ill do me best tho.
saloonwoody - yes i am keeping it this colour as you very rare to see it, and i like it.
NOV4_SPORT - the colour is actually ibiza haze blue :thumb:
novait - not sure what you mean by v6 :O, and yes it should be ready before pv to make it to a midlands meet :)
lol...im not sure where that face came from..it was spose to be :)..lol....good good..have to have a look at pv if u make it...keep up the good work mate...

thats a really impressive cage mate
deffinatly
looks well thought out
great job
well it should be good, the bloke who did it used to do rollcages for prodrive and he now builds competition land rovers. theres lots of little bits aswell that hes done which i wouldnt of thought of which make all the difference
looking good.....nice work...
finally got my ass into gear and got the engine out of the saloon. only took me an hour so i dont know why i left it so long. at least the v6 fun can begin
http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a226/sclurgess/S7300017.jpg
oh yes please ignore the brake pipes, i only had 10 mins to bodge something together
Cool sounds like a good plan, v6 saloon will be something different.
As you say, if you can get the weight down a bit that would be a bonus.
Be good see a v6 in there :)
You had a good look of a v6 in a nova before?, do you know how people sort the engine mounts/exhaust downpipes(seeing the exhaust manifolds point to the side?)
