when you have a project like this which involves so much fabrication you will always get opinions on how to do it ect etc
i have absolutely no knowledge on something like this but i do wonder why the engine is on the piss and so high up in the bay, a evo bonnet going to be needed lol
oh dear, what did i start lol
a healthy debate i think.. pity johnny a got upset & left...
but as a build thread, look at colin's.. there are healthy debates and everyone's 4 pence worth is put in, and it feels like a png club effort.

The height of the engine and its position far forward isn't great/ideal I agree, and thats why even spending ages & getting carpal tunnel smoothing my bulkhead, I ended up cutting mine out and moving the engine further back.
I'm sure this came up in discussion in a previous JonnyA tread and he gave his reasons for going this route.
notice the deliberate mistake......

top mounts on the wrong side of turrets ?
or charger touching inner wing ?
charger where the exhaust manifold should go was my thought.....
i was gonna say this earlier.Quote:

I'm not sure why he has gone for the engine tilt tho because I would of guessed the inlet would of fitted ok being upright and that wouldn't given more room for the charger. Unless it was tilted so the exhaust was lower and gave more charger clearance??
sorry for the double post,Quote:

like when mk999 says "The 'right' way of doing it is to package the car and it's contents as an infinitesimal dot in the very centre bottom of the car, with a flat chassis of infinite stiffness leading to a suspension setup that keeps the wheels at perfect camber angles and a body around this if you like, which would obviously weigh nothing, the same as the rest of the car."
i have no idea what he means lol. i suspect i could difuse it after a while with research. IMO thats "proper". just because someone can cut, weld, and turn uprights backwards doesnt mean he is a genius.
