Sweet Jebus WHO designed that inlet?:cuckoo:
...At least cylinder no.3 won't starve.
BTEC is the old training system for work, and it's in DIY retail, the training programme actually got accredited!!Quote:

p.s having another look at it, it looks like the pipe actually covers cyl 2 and 3 equally!
Regardless cylinder 1 is pretty screwed lol Melty meltyQuote:

It does get pushed in, really fast... fast enough to have momentum which means it likes to carry on in the direction it's travelling, which in this case is straight towards cylinder 3, with a little bit towards 4, relying on pressure to hit 2, and black magic to fill cylinder 1. The cylinder fill and AFR for those 4 cylinders will vary wildly.Quote:

No mistake fella except the blower isn't mounted using my arms now, I have hired a small Mexican prostitute to hold it for me now...... ahemQuote:

P.S I never left the forum, just abandoned the thread as it wasn't a debate anymore. I mean if you look back over the pages at the flaws (the reversed front hubs spring to mind) and a few people saying how stupid it is... how all that work is for nothing.... you will have to redesign this and that now yada yada. Well whilst this was going on me and Jamie already knew the solution, I wouldn't have gone to all that trouble if we didn't. The solution itself is SO simple its staring everyone in the face but at this stage I couldn't be bothered to explain it - too tired of all the BS, but before anyone starts off again - no I didn't add anything to the hubs themselves to correct the akerman angles.
But the past few days have been pretty entertaining watching 'you monkeys' squabbling lol
and thank you goes to Benn and Simps for standing up for me, you guys are getting an ice cream cone at Billing (you will have to share it though :d)
Peace OUT
dude, i bumped the thread, i didn't intend to open a can of worms, i was genuinely interested.
funny how you've been watching this for a few days.... john h only woke it up this morning.......
and instead of calling us monkeys.... why not enlighten us instead of insulting us...........
.
please redeem your self and show us some pictures of the "strength added that we cant see" to the front engine mounts as i dont think this is in anyway suitable for a 2.0l super charged engine.
edit: i am more then welcome to suggestions on my project thread. (make sure they are suggestions and not insults)

Redeem myself? I don't owe any of you anything in the slightest.
I know its a long time anyways (there are reasons for this which I won't go into why I put the project on hold) but when this car is done I will post on here again with videos and whatnot, so keep them thread subscriptions active!
you tit martin, how the facking hell is that ever a finished mount.
welcome back ish johnny, get a new unit sorted yet? this is still one of my favourites and cant wait to see it finished
lol ok. your always so defensive.
is this going to be a road car. if so, do you not think we might be worried for your well being!
Hi burgo, new unit is up and running... ish. Still got to build up the worktops and install some nice big tools I have purchased, hopefully getting the Nova moved in this saturday :thumb:Quote:

Your nova, it looks like my old one. So yes :cool:Quote:

p.s is this a road car?
p.p.s can i have an ice cream :D
Road car yes, if it goes through an IVA (I suspect it will fail first time around as you always miss something but I can always alter stuff to make them happy). I realise this probably means a Q plate status too but I don't care.
If however it can't get through an IVA I will cage it and use it as a dedicated track toy.

oooh come on, just one pic? :)
no such things as Q plates anymore, it will be given an age related plate or in other words be allowed to retain its current one. will probably need a new chassis number though which you can make :d
Even better, I love the fact its one of the first Novas.
read these, more so the bottom one :)

Just been back through the pages to find the last time I put an update up with pics, page 5! Done plenty more since then! Shell is about 95% done now bar a little more bracing round the rear drive area, since getting the new unit I am thinking of making a frame so I can flip the chassis upside down (can't remember the correct name)
I fully realise it will need an IVA as I have modified structural parts of the chassis (transmission tunnel cutout being the biggest)Quote:

im just being helpful :) its always good to read something about a possible problem.
p.s burgo it mentions in one of those links on the DVLA website that Q plates can still be issued.
Be good to see some updates on this interesting project.
I dont get why people feel the need to be all bitchy and seem to think they know best. Maybe i have read some posts wrong....but thats how it seems. To me.
bmw156...no offence dude, but you wade in here.....i seem to recall you getting abit touchy when people commented on your rather "agricultural" radiator mounts!!!
no offence taken,Quote:

cheer up x-mas is over lol
Thats worth coming to Billing this year in itself! lolQuote:
