Is it not worth downspeccing slightly to get the flow velocity up for faster swirl etc? Or are you going for 300+? ;o

Goin on solid lifters?

Soooooo, in no particular order....

Bought an engine

And took it to teeny tiny little itty bitty pieces, and got it rebored etc etc

And its still in teeny tinny little itty bitty pieces now...

Played with my knob for a bit. Had a right problem getting it to fit (not the first time mind)

Bought a battery & fitted him, along with the wiring for it & kill switch

And some harness's courtosy of our very own Mr Merris (thanking you please)

Move the extinguisher out the way ~ for two reasons. Its looked shÃ*t where it was, an keeps heating up, setting off & filling the car with foam :S

And put the zoom zoom bottle in its place

Didnt like the kevlar roof vent, so made a carbon one. But dont really like that either

And decided on complete inner floor trays as the grip tape just looked cheap. Will carbon'ise this in morrow & get it fitted along with the drivers side one.

And thats about it really.

Aint this done yet?

Kind off lol Its a little bit more then a simple engine change in my defence lol

Glad to see the engine is getting some work done.

Like the re positioning etc, free roof vent wanted if one's going with inside part? lol

Theres a piston in the block if that counts? Literally just one, balancing on its rings in the top of the block lol lol

But, I only actually work on this when Im bored, literally, that is the only time I kinda go near it :S

Oh, and Ive bought a selection of brake pads, couple of different compound Mintex ones, budget GM & Police spec GM, so in ten years time once its finished I can do some testing & see what falls off & what doesnt :)

As for the roof vent Scott, you dont actually need the internal part to make roof vents work (if youve ever seen the current M Sport Fiesta roof vents with directional ball vents you'll understand)

EDIT: And been making some carbon fibrer door pockets too, so they'll be fitted soon. And put more of the dash back together today lol so I am actually doing er, stuff :S

Yeah but would be nice to have the directional parts etc, then i can go for sliders an pollys all round, but till the time comes for roof vent/pollys I'll stick to glass.

Ah right ok, I havent got the inside mould for this type vent:

But I do have the moulds to produce the classis Es'cos style vent like so:

Finito'd this earlier whilst making loads of other tat lol

Carbon composite inner floor w/combined foot rest in one easy step :) reinforced it with a bit of roving so its pretty damn sturdy now.

Had to shorten it down a little as fire extinguisher is in the way so its not full length, but Mrs Mike is a short ass anyhow.
